Top 10 lessons learnt today in Nigeria.

1.Every building has barb wires and at least two security guards.

2.It’s common to have power failures and power surges every hour.

3.Because of the unreliable power supply, every building has a backup diesel electric generator.

4. Your hotel might be a good five minutes walk away from your office, but because of security, you will have to be chauffeured by a driver.

5. Because of the chaotic jams, the five minute distance walks takes half an hour by car.

6. Pot holes on roads in Nigeria are a dime a dozen.

7. Pot holes are far more efficient than speed bumps.

8. Caucasians are not well liked here. Only their money. (Which they believe is theirs anyway.)

9. After the English, the Chinese are the largest foreign community in Nigeria.

10. Put an Englishman and a Chinese in the streets, and the Englishman would most likely get shot first.
