AREA BOYS DOCUMENTARY PT 1

Area boys are menacing, brazen and brutal. The indisputable kingpins of the streets of Lagos. For decades now, they have held Lagosians by the jugular. They mill around every bus stop like swarms of locust, extorting and brutalizing their victims, available to work for the highest bidder, be it corrupt politicians or ambitious businessmen.

Sometimes i wonder if the Church as it is is practicing what they preach....Thanks folr sharing

Area boys are Hustlers - Jack of all trades. Its that simple, they may be notorious - some are good, others are bad.

Area boys are hustlers. some of them are good, they even protect you if they like you. while some are just plain evil. But i think they are hardworking men.

@montg2perfection "Igba ti o de Eko, Bawo lose M'eyo?" __When you haven't been to Lagos, how can you claim to know the Unique Lagos Maquarade (Eyo)?

That means, only those from Lagos really know the true meaning of "AREA BOYS". It's not just about reading between the lines...Eku gbole...Ogba Ole! (Lagos tolerates miscreants and thieves).

[montg2perfection]

"AREA BOYS" what does it mean, boys in an area? Can someone explain? Because boys in an area doesnt sounds too bad. Area boys seems to be a good band name...

Bro/Sis ,True that Obama did not wait for the govt.He was raised in a more matured democracy..I remember clearly the period we had soldiers in school..You can't even start to imagine how demoralizing that can be on a 13-or 15 yr old student.We are yet to have a democracy that places a very highvalue on education. The rate of delinquency basically sky rocketted as a result of the Oppressive nature of the Nigerian Govt towards the youth...It's goin gto take some time..God Help Us ooo O.D.O.O
