Those to avoid in Lagos

Lagos is assumed to be a mega city that accommodates different kinds of people from various parts of the country and beyond. Despite its accommodating nature there are some people that residents of the city must be  careful in dealing with because of their antecedents, indeed, if possible new comers to Lagos are advised to avoid them.

The following are the five people you must know how to handle, and possibly avoid because of their antecedents.

House agents

 They manage property, especially houses for landlords. Several accommodation seekers who have patronized them for assistance in  getting  accommodation end up regretting their because of their character of  either charging their clients  higher than what the  landlord  demanded or their failure to remit the money collected to house owners.

Omoniles

The Omoniles are those who claim to be traditional land owners who sell land. In a city like Lagos, they pose a lot of influence and people must be careful in dealing with them. Many people complain of their activities especially in selling a piece of land to more than one person. If you can avoid them in Lagos it is well advised.

LASTMA officials

Lagos State Traffic Management, LASTMA, is the agency responsible for the management of traffic in Lagos State.  Some overzealous officials have caused untold hardship to motorists in the state.

  Policemen

Policemen are expected to maintain law and order in the society, but in Lagos some police officers use their privileged position to molest and torture innocent citizens. This attitude led to #ENDSars protests that engulfed most part of the country in October 2020. If you can avoid police trouble in Lagos, people are well advised to do so.

 Yellow taxi drivers

 Before the launching of Bus Rapid Transport, BRT, some years ago by the Tunde Fashola led administration, activities of yellow taxi cab was burdensome to many residents of Lagos. They charge exorbitantly for their services especially for those who do not want to patronize Molue buses.
