when you understand the culture, you understand the people
Hi, you never did bribe the gentleman that found you a cab, you only paid him for his service, you could have easily refused and looked for the cab yourself.That is how some people work to fend for themselves How awful for you to describe the gory parts you saw in the outskirts, but dint describe in great detail what you meet in VI and LEKKI That i think is not fair of you You should try to give a fair view of everything you see Are you trying to say that in NY there are no slums and robberies My dear, these are everywhere, thank God we don't sell CRACK the way they do on the Streets in New York Though there are some Few BAD Elements in Nigeria, it doesn't make the VAST MAJORITY OF GOOD GUYS LIKE ME BAD. I think you should put that to mind when next you are creating impressions in readers NIGERIA IS A GREAT COUNTRY

The people who wanted money were not arranging us a taxi, they were merely leading us back to our driver who we saw down the road, and wanted to get paid for it. Just like the people at the checkpoint who wanted bribes for 'letting us past'. I am sure there are many nice people in Nigeria, I even met a few, however, per capita there is more crime and murder then most if not all other officially civilized countries. For me, that just made it more exciting.
