Hilarious: 8 Things To Do In Lagos When The World Is Ending (See Photos)

It is believed that the world will come to an end one day. While the thought of it is enough to send tremor through your spine, it should actually be seen as a chance to try out some crazy and interesting things especially if you live in Lagos. A lot of silly things go through the mind of Lagosians but these thoughts are quickly dismissed with a wave of the hand partly because of the reactions or perhaps negative consequence.

If you are a Lagosian and you are lucky (or unlucky) to be alive when the world is ending, then it is an opportunity to do things you’ve always wished you could. You don’t have to mind as the world would end anyway.

Here are 8things you can do in Lagos when the final trumpet is being blown.

Slap A Mopol

Mobile Police or Mopol for short is a gun-carrying, fierce looking security personnel that is viewed with more reverence than an ordinary policeman. Mobile policemen carry themselves with seriousness and authority and can be very brash in their dealing. You might want to slap one as whatever he does to you won’t make a difference as the world will end.

Refuse To Pay Rent Even When Your Landlord Has A Black Belt

Nobody likes it when the landlord comes to knock on the door to request for the rent. Lagosians take offence by the seemingly embarrassing request but knowing that the landlord is right, they try to bear it. With the world coming to an end, you can decide not to pay your rent even if the landlord has a black belt. You can even scream at him and order him out if you feel that way.

Eat A ‘Balanced Diet”

Lagosians love good food and there are lots of restaurants that provide different delicacies. Sometimes, Lagosians want some combination but won’t want to make the other so as not to be considered a ‘bush person’. With end time coming, you can go to a restaurant and order for a triple combination of white, jollof and fried rice. You can top it with a plate of roasted snail and chicken. Support it with pounded yam and egusi with a bottle of chilled malt in between. Take a minute to calm down before going for yam porridge with fried plantain with a small portion of nkwobi. Don’t forget to drink a cup of yoghurt mixed with Fanta. Finish the whole stuff with pizza and hamburger coupled with a bottle of beer. Its end time anyway!

Roll Tyre Around The Street

Children in Lagos roll tyres around the street as a form of play and some even compete in a race by seeing who can run faster with the tyre. It gets to a time when it becomes silly to engage in such a game. If you are still in Lagos and the world is coming to an end, you can roll back the years by removing the tyre of your car, strip down to your knickers and roll it down the street. It’s a feeling you can’t compare with anything. Don’t mind the look on people’s face. They’ll forget about it when they get to heaven.

Drive In Reverse From Oshodi To Obalende

Lagos state takes the issue of adherence to traffic laws seriously. LASTMA officials are around the city ready to arrest any driver who fails to do what is right on the road. Sometimes, people get itchy about wanting to do silly things and end time is the period to do something akin to madness. Turn your vehicle into reverse position, rev the engine and drive in that position from Oshodi to Obalende. Increase the speed when you are on the Third Mainland Bridge. Forget about the consequence as the world is ending anyway.

Raise Your Hand To Signify You Are Against A Marriage

It is a common practice in some marriages in Lagos for the priest to ask the guests if anyone os against the union of the couple before they are joined together in holy matrimony. This is always a critical period but almost all the time, it passes away without crises. You can decide to send a jolt through the crowd by signifying that you are against the marriage of possible your friend and his wife. It is predictable that the bride might faint and pandemonium can start. You can calm their fears and say it’s just an April fool’s joke!

Turn Your Money To Fire Cracker

Who needs money in heaven? As the world is ending, you can decide to walk into your bank and withdraw all your life savings. Then roll all the notes into a gas lighter. Get lots of sticks of fire crackers and push them into the pile. Light a match and drop it on the money-made fire cracker. Sit back and watch your life savings explode. It’s a feeling that will follow you to your grave.

Tell Your Boss To Shut His Dirty Mouth Up

Once in a while, you might be at the receiving end of your boss’ tirade. This usually happens on Mondays when you get to work slightly late because of traffic and there is a lot to be done. The pressure is so much that you make a few mistakes or you don’t get the work done on time. It is normal for the boss to give you a piece of his mind. As usual, you stomach the insult but since it is end time, nothing stops you from shouting back at him and telling to shut his dirty mouth. You can walk out in anger and forfeit your salary. Who needs salary when the world is ending?
