Lagos, the infamous most exclusive city to live in Nigeria mirrors the turmoils of the society most inclusively. The densely populated metropolis with busy streets and massive traffic jams prides itself in its unique experiences and unequalled entertainment, that all makes for a perfect recipe for anxiety. Since we aren’t exactly known for dealing with our mental health through therapy, social media has provided a platform to share experiences and offer some comic relief. An account of Twitter started a thread to share the ridiculous experiences they’ve had while commuting via public transport in Lagos and as expected it turned out to be the typical Nigerian laughter-is-the-best medicine conversation for uncomfortable and even bizarre real-life experiences.

Inadvertently, the lingering question is the price of comfort against all odds of everyday ‘Nigerianesses’, but see some hilarious tweets from the thread below.

Taking bus in Nigeria is a different ball game. Abeg let’s share our most interesting bus chronicles. Number 1 for me on the list was a 40+year old man asking me to lap him from Obalende to Oshodi. When I said no he asked for an explanation. I laughed too hard.

One time, my phone got snatched right out of my hands from a bus on third mainland bridge. Felt my life leave my hands and watch it jump the bridge parapet to the other side.

My boyfriend lapped somebody else's basin of fish.

Would never forget when I was watching an episode of the daily show with Trevor Noah and was laughing at a hilarious joke. The guy beside me just took my left ear pieces and put in his ear to watch with me. Not a word was said

Was using my phone in the bus when I opened a picture… It was funny… I laughed…. Ashe the man beside me wanted to laugh too so he took my phone from my hand to look at the picture well….. Didn't know what to say

I once entered a bus from motorways to Yaba. By the time we got to town planning, we noticed that the driver kept turning off the ignition when he wanted to stop. when we tackled him he said he was on his way to fix the brakes. I flew out

Okay! I sat in front that day omw to Ikeja. One man came to beg the driver that he didn’t have enough so I offered to pay for him. This man didn’t even say thank you. We got to Ikeja and I turned back to talk to this man and he just lit his cigarette and blew it on my face😩😭
