Welcome to the rant column.

If you are a lagosian you will totally relate with this particular rant. I thought of it and discovered that these ‘hoodlums’ don’t have the kind of space they have in Lagos in other parts of the federation.

Hmm!Really, Lagos is the land for anything. You know what they are called now, ‘Agberos’ well, how can that be translated in english, I think it means, Hoodlums! they really are.

The funniest thing is their supremacy. The way they exhibit their foolishness and rashness. They disturb transporters and even delay their passengers when they hit the road.

I was on a bus somewhere and about three hoodlums stopped the bus just to collect the ‘fee’. The road fee. I felt like taking something to hit all of them. The driver started lamenting about the amount he has paid in a day to men who don’t work but collect fees… How is that possible? Well… Lagos is the land for all.

The way the transporters are harassed is the most annoying part. They can either remove the side mirror or break something and one wonders, to what right to they have? Do we have a blind government.? Where is the dignity in labour? Well… maybe the display of cowardice is now very rewarding.

Really, if a man isn’t mad how will he go about shouting and hitting a bus for money? It’s something to think about.

  1. There is a name for them. Lagos boys. Lol!! They are part and parcel of us. Though frustrating but what are we going to do?

  2. Of course they are not normal. For someone to wake up early in the morning and start hitting one’s bus, that’s totally absurd.

  3. Those hoodlums are actually very funny and inconsiderate. They don’t mind using a very big iron to change the shape of your vehicle.

  4. Hahahahahaha I love this rant. The one that vexes me the most is when those Agberos forcefully collects money from drivers and still curse them. They are used to insulting people’s mother, that alone is enough to stripe them naked and flog the hell out of them.

  5. Those hoodlums especially those in Lagos are very dramatic and exasperating. They can actually frustrate you and make you feel guilty even when you are 100percent right.

  6. Lol…. Agbero’s of life. They have actually taken over lagos and even the bus drivers are always afraid of them….
