Let me tell yall a story about my time in Lagos during COVID.
I'm a Brooklyn niqqa first and foremost. This was my first real time making Lagos my homebase, as I only been in Nigeria to deal with family shyt outside of the city. I'm at a phone place where they have social distancing and things were moving slow. Two women worked on handling the phone issues, and a Lebanese guy was acting real nasty and impatient with them. Dude got up from his chair and put his finger in the woman's face saying she was taking too long. I'm sitting there seeing this and got up from my chair and said get the hell outta her face....you're a guest in this country and you ain't getting in no Black woman's face. Why the fukk did one of the Nigerian men who was sitting beside me FINALLY open his mouth to tell ME that "It's not about race!"
The look I gave that coward
before saying "Can I go to Lebanon or where the fukk he's from and do that to their women?" Dude got quiet and I said "SHUT THE fukk UP!" and sat back down.
Five minutes later....same Lebanese dude....gets up.....walks up to that same woman and proceeds to take off his dirty ass mask and throws it along with his pen at the woman's face.
BK niqqa ACTIVATED!!!
I got up and smacked.....the.....shyt outta dude. My phone fell from outta my hand and he had the NERVE to try to pick it up. I grabbed dude by the throat with one hand and threw his ass down, grabbing the phone with the other hand before choking him. It was at that moment I thought...."Hmmm....I ain't come all the way out here to get locked up!!"
I got off of dude, made the scared ass do nothing security guard at the door open the gate and slinked off around the corner because I know these Lebanese dudes have Nigerian police in their pocket because they all kiss their ass out here. I stood behind a car, called a cab and jumped in as popo arrived. Drove past them and all and shyt. I told the cab driver what happened and dude said "We need people like you here, O!!! It's the government that lets them get away with things here so they think they can mistreat us!"
I gave forward because he will think long and hard before coming out his mouth being disrespectful again. These dudes be so scared of these foreigners but quick to get buck with each other.
I met an older Black American dude from B-More who said he was in a Lebanese restaurant eating and heard the owner absolutely shytTING on the workers in the back. He said he had to get out of his seat, go into the kitchen and shyt on dude. We both lamented how we need more folks like us here.
These mofos be mad timid towards these others. fukk outta here with that shyt.
