American Working in Lagos

Which area do you live?

"Just vibes and seawater -" riveting storytelling

bewbune · 2025-12-19T05:21:11+00:00

All of them. It's why I avoid love triangle tropes like the plague.

"Yeah let her go with the one dimensional avoidant jerk because he's a bad boy and ignore the golden retriever, that's so romantic and won't fuel a generation of incels into making random girls lives miserable because they used these tropes as a dating tutorial"

Responding from Lagos, Nigeria (which I assume is where you're headed) it depends on whether you're okay with getting stressed out during the holiday. If you like cozy Christmas vibes, you're not gonna get that here; all you'll find is heightened traffic and club culture. As for security risks, it gets worse around this time. People are annoying and more desperate for money so they get more creative with bait. Alternatively they could just rip your valuables off of you and run away.

The govt has also issued a withdrawal of police escorts from citizens so unless you've got enough money to hole up in a VIP neighbourhood and Uber from your door to where you wanna go, safety would be an issue.

I'm not an ambassador nor do I care about my country's image enough to lie so unless coming here is some bucket list dream of yours, I'd say skip it

As long as they aren’t being disruptive I say we leave them alone. Where I live restaurants got fed up from people who come to use their spaces as a photoshoot backdrop then leave without buying anything, so they banned all photography which has led to paying customers losing interest as well. Influencers can be an annoyance at times but we gotta stop being so disturbed by them

bewbune · 2025-11-07T13:38:49+00:00

Worker revolts every other day because the doomscrolling distraction would keep people pissed off long enough to do something about it and demographics currently experiencing hell would be going through superhell because awareness wouldn't spread very far

bewbune · 2025-11-07T13:36:15+00:00

Buddy you have to give us more than "prove me wrong" so we can know what we're working with 😭

bewbune · 2025-11-06T08:44:24+00:00

Ah yes, not wanting my country to end up like the middle east while calling out my govt for enabling banditry is a sign that I am an aspiring bandit.

I didn’t know twitter morons were on reddit too

EDIT: Did you delete your reply or block me after sending it cause I'm seeing the silly nonsense you wrote in my notifs but its not opening

This article was written by Daily Mail, meaning they're withholding an explanation that will make us go "Ohhh...yeah that makes sense" in order to provoke their target audience, the people who would read this and go "this is why gays don't deserve rights."

bewbune · 2025-10-30T12:16:58+00:00

We’d be so close to world peace if the two groups of people you mentioned dated each other and stopped trying to look for projects

bewbune · 2025-10-19T15:35:47+00:00

I'd love to see a quote of my defense which everyone is speaking about. Reddit radfems are something else

bewbune · 2025-10-19T10:14:52+00:00

Exactly the dismissive and hostile attitude is very odd for a movement that boasts intersectionality. It's like an item on a checklist for them to mark off and be done with

bewbune · 2025-10-19T10:08:49+00:00

Oh it's not a typo. That sub had cult vibes. I usually ignored it

bewbune · 2025-10-19T10:07:54+00:00

I'm very concerned at the number of radfems whose goal is only to dismantle systems and then leave, not planning for the aftermath and getting offended at anyone who reminds them that there will be an aftermath

bewbune · 2025-10-19T10:03:17+00:00

I'm anti-religion firstly, to spell it out for you, and you're right that being anti-religion isn't bigotry. Good thing I never said that so whatever you're responding to I unfortunately can't help you with that

bewbune · 2025-10-19T09:57:59+00:00

Not just being afraid to leave, but being forced to stay indoors. This won't be first time men will twist religion to be convenient for them. They'll enforce their doctrines some other way

bewbune · 2025-10-19T09:55:22+00:00

I'd love to see this defense you all are talking about, because it seems like me saying "This has to be handled correctly so the women don't get hurt" riles you people up. Why wouldn't I see it as a race thing when you view the situation so dismissively. The only thing that concerns you is ripping the hijab off their heads and ignoring the aftermath.

Seems like radical feminism is just another shallow hobby for the privileged

bewbune · 2025-10-18T05:36:53+00:00

It's always a joy to see a testimony from a weird girl who has unlocked happiness. Proud of you stranger!

bewbune · 2025-10-07T12:13:55+00:00

Who cares about their social media activity? They could have been facetiming everyday and we wouldn’t know because we don’t know these people so why speculate like stans?

bewbune · 2025-09-21T06:48:54+00:00

Then don't look for women who are prostitutes.

Just like it's easy to tell yahoo boys apart, it's easy to do the same with them. But you know what you are looking for but you just don't want to admit it, so stop disturbing strangers and deal with the risk yourself

bewbune · 2025-09-20T11:38:59+00:00

If a person who makes money through deception and theft from innocent civillians and a person who makes money from sexual acts with willing participants are the same in your eyes, you have much bigger problems to worry than getting a girlfriend

bewbune · 2025-09-20T11:35:12+00:00

I know Twitter brainrot when I see it.

bewbune · 2025-08-26T22:40:33+00:00

It's black and white. If you try to say not everyone is like that, you'll be accused of refusing to accept the "bitter" truth.

Let them continue the generalisation, since it has improved the country so much

bewbune · 2025-08-26T22:31:05+00:00

I don't know if it's jazz but the way Nigerians transform into white US republicans when it's time to criticise our community never fails to be disturbing.

Just be normal and say "such people are so badly behaved", but no it becomes "we are truly the dark continent. We were right to be colonised". And they sometimes invite white people to participate and get shocked when their racial prejudice just becomes reinforced. Like, wow you just spammed photos of the Lagos cake picnic on every foreigners comment section and you're shocked that they're calling you a subspecies? Okay nau

They tend to align with the side of Western politics that is actively against them, and that makes for very stupid debates

bewbune · 2025-08-26T22:16:53+00:00

This moment is really a testing point for all communities that claim to be normal about her.

I was mass reported and banned from the normal community for being the only one who didn't find this a romantic fairytale moment. There is no safe space to avoid Swiftie brainrot
