One rep¥lsive aspect of establishing friends in Lagos, according to her, is that everyone wants to hang out with those who are balling and dripping and hunting for people to take advantage of.
If you ask the ordinary Lagosian why they want to be friends, they won’t typically respond with reasons like “because the person is God fearing, has a good heart, and is well educated,” instead just seeking out relationships based on money, celebrity, and connections.
The strange thing is that once they get into a friendship like that, all you’ll ever hear them do is ask for things and desire to accumulate without contributing or having an influence.
