“I pick this Nigerian every morning on my way to work, for 5 days I didn’t see him. This morning I saw and asked why I didn’t see him, he said, bros, since you don dey carry me, shey I resemble or act like person wey mad or don mad? I said no. He said he crossed the main road instead Of using the pedestrian bridge and was caught by a CID.
Instead of getting a fine, he gave him a 5-day mandatory mental evaluation at the fed govt hospital. He asked why he did that and he said, only a mentally deranged person will leave a pedestrian bridge to cross an express road.”
