My brother, my sister, the go-slow don already start before you even wake up, but remember: Lagos no dey kill person wey get sense and patience.
The city runs on hustle + improvisation. If your normal routine (including trying to call on normal call or WhatsApp) is jamming today, switch lanes like a proper Danfo driver:
1. Traffic hack: Leave 30-45 mins earlier than you think you need. Use that time to listen to good music/podcast or plan your day instead of cursing okada riders.
Power & data wahala: Assume light will go off and data will be slow. Charge everything at night, have backup power bank, and keep offline tasks ready.
Mindset: Small-small wins. One deal closed, one traffic dodged, one good meal eaten = victory. The city rewards those who stay calm in the madness.
Pro tip: Smile at the pure water seller or the traffic warden. You never know whose help you’ll need next.
