Lagos female

I recently moved cities so I have been trying to adjust to a new schedule, missing my friends and being amazing which is hard  .To be honest some days , I just want to find a quiet room and scream ; endlessly. I feel tensed and knotted up, sometimes somewhat invisible.

As, it pertains all things change, I start out excited then, I coast till I find a balance. So, I am now in the city of Lagos, which is like New York. It’s a crowded, busy city, with endless streams of people everywhere on the sidewalks at all times. This is different for me.

 

I am an Abuja citizen, I see crowds in Abuja on Fridays , when I go to the outskirts  or the open market. I avoid crowds. In Lagos this is almost impossible. People enjoy the outdoors. It seems the indoors is meant for sleeping and other intimate rituals but people like to live in this city . It’s scary, yet refreshing.

What I have noticed in Lagos is people don’t stare at you strangely in public environments, so much when you are alone (I have gone for lunch twice alone and dinner once). Ladies look extremely attractive without getting gawked at and it seems people have grown accustomed to the Lagos female being loud. They pay you no attention.

At work, I had an incident where a colleague was being addressed in atone I felt was rude and I stepped in and got shocked as everyone said (these one's speak to each other in this way, don’t get involved) I was like oh wow, for the sake of a third party observer they should be mindful of words used because you never know.

Next remark I heard from her was “you, don’t know where to stop this your female rights thing”, I smiled (Lesson learnt, never defend a female who doesn’t want you to).

Good news, I rented an apartment without presenting a fake husband. The landlady did ask to meet up and asked questions about work to verify the source of income. So not all landladies are unreasonable J.

I still had vendors who helped set up my apartment say things like: ‘auntie, na God oh, some men can’t afford to live in this area (LOL)!

The electrician said (your chairman is trying oh, look at how you are setting up. All you need now is a husband, may God do it for you.) (LOL)!

I haven’t gone dancing, or on a first date yet or done anything extremely fun but I intend to and give you the updates from a single crazy feminist, yet man loving female.

 

Have a great week  J , be amazing.
