I always thought that meeting a Nigerian blogger from Lagos would be interesting. I remember when I used to live in Lagos, just walking on the street used to make me laugh, there was always something lively going on.

The stories he tells can be easily compared to listening to my Dad and his friends talk about their business and social experiences.
