I had been avoiding this video since yesterday, but the moment I finally watched it, it reminded me of how one of my friends quit his 9–5 job from Meiran to Lekki in the funniest way.
The guy had endured that routine for a long time. Most days, his mum would keep encouraging him to push through. He’d leave home as early as 5 a.m. and still get back late at night.
One day, there was crazy traffic and he didn’t get home until around 11 p.m., knowing fully well he still had to go back to the office the next day. His mum had already made dinner for him. While eating his eba, he dozed off from exhaustion.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up and saw a rat on his hand, eating the swallow he was about to put in his mouth before he slept off. 😂
That was the exact moment he decided he wasn’t going back to that job again... even though salary week was just around the corner.
The funniest part was the next morning. Around 9 a.m., he casually stepped into the sitting room and his parents almost had a heart attack. They thought they were seeing a ghost because it was so unusual for him to be home at that time.
Some realities of living and working in Lagos are really not child’s play. 😅
Young Lagosian shows the different buses he takes to work and how much each one costs.
When added together, his transport fare comes to almost ₦70,000 every month.
