coder When oyibo people describe a
location, they simply say,
"The place is about a mile and a
half, north-west or 300 metres
away from Greenville park." You
actually know where you're
going.
.
But in Naija, our house
numbering system can't be
trusted.
You may find house number 43
in between house number 5 and
6. Moreover, we know nothing
about miles and metres.
So when some of you want to
describe your location, you'll be
like,
"If you reach Mbonu crescent,
you will see one big gutter. Jump
the gutter and corner left.
Do as if you're going right but be
cornering left small small.
Be going down down...
straaaaaight!
Until you will see one place
they're selling akamu in front of
one Redeemed church; opposite
where they used to throwey
dustbin. Just stand there and
flash me. I will come outside."
