Freebies have a Nigerian surname. It is called Awoof!
I love freebies, you love freebie and we love freebies. In Naija, as far as it free, forget it; we all will grab our share. Why not? Nobody wants to be ‘chanced’ or be tagged a learner. Freebies have no class; at least not in Nigeria.
If you doubt this, then you have not attended a wedding or a party in Lagos. I’m not even referring to weddings or parties in Mushin or Iyana Ipaja; I’m talking about weddings in the high brow areas of Lagos. Chineke Nna! I was in one of such weddings recently. Our table supposedly had people that can afford to feed the multitude; however, the more things were brought to the table, the little we had to share.
When the wedding reception was over; you needed to see the faces of some of those women that sat with us on the table. You know that “come and touch me naa” kind of look.
That experience is the crux of this piece. We are looking at all the freebies we love as a people. Stay with me; let’s count them together. If you are ready; let’s go. 1, 2, go ooo!
