Sex life in the ghetto streets of Lagos part 1


Traffic build up has become one of the very annoying things you can't avoid on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria.
No matter how you try to avoid it, you end up in one and you just must follow up.
The funny thing is, you can't be a driver or a passenger in Lagos and not learn how to insult , curse and be prepared for madness at any given time.
It's a norm that insult must be unleashed on someone as a driver every day, as it makes up the daily activity of a Nigerian Road user.
This built up traffic is more terrible when we have tankers, containers,  flat bedded vehicles and other small vehicles like the commercial buses, SUVs etc. plying the same route every single day.
I never knew that behind that traffic build up that keeps faulty trailers and tankers over night on the road,  there are other activities that goes on at night that many may not know.
Have you ever wondered how this drivers survive on the high way for days, months without seeing their wives, after taking all sort of local man power herbs. ?

This particular night traffic build up was so terrible due to a break down of a truck and a crash not far from each other.. We had to ensure free flow of traffic and it was getting pretty late. We kept up and finally the traffic reduced.
We walked in between  vehicles to move and coordinate movements and we noticed a group of people in a very big round circle,  they were laughing and most were speaking the local northern language, Hausa.
