The 'I'm Almost There' Lie Every Lagos Driver Tells

My friend called me yesterday to say he was 10 minutes away. I waited 45 minutes. He finally landed and said 'traffic was crazy, sorry.' Bro, we both know you were still in your boxers when you called me.

This is the same energy as 'I'm on my way' when you haven't even started the car, or 'I've sent it' when you haven't even opened the banking app. We lie to each other like it's a national sport. In this economy, we should be charging each other for the anxiety.

I've started adding 30 minutes to every 'almost there' I hear. It's the only way to survive Lagos. Shey you dey see am?
