Story Of A Jos Boy In Lagos: Con Men And Pick Pockets

Lagos; a city of hustlers, ballers, traders and customers. This is my experience...

Hustle is the key word in Lagos, but how you go about what you call a hustle, how legal is your hustle, how much effort you put in to that hustle is all up to you.

I was told about how fast and sharp the "Con Men'' (419 men) and "pick-pockets" operate on this side of the country but as a JJC that I am, who is gradually getting a strong foot on the Lagos soil, i guess i underrated their conning skills and picking abilities which has made me part ways with a pretty decent amount of cash and also a missing phone that got picked in a bus on my way for an official event.

So yeah, I pretty much have a first hand experience of how they operate.
