#iSpy In Naija

A couple of years ago, I started a twitter hashtag #iSpyInLagos. It was basically tweets about incredulous things I spied while stuck in traffic. You wouldn't believe the craziness in this part of the world. Some were absolutely hilarious, others not so much.

It recently occurred to me that I should make posts about it and make it nationwide such that my dear readers (oh yes, you) can send their #iSpyInNaija moments to me on bukiotuyemi@gmail.com. :)

So yesterday I felt like I stepped back into a century when I went on a visit to a hospital to see a friend and at the reception area I came face to face with what seemed like a million rotting patients' folders starring back at me. I mean come on those things should have been computerized years ago. I imagined setting up a company where I would charge a N100 per file to help such backward organizations computerize their records. (Business idea and millions rolling in, anyone?;) The dust gathered on those files are farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from hygienic in that environment or in any as a matter of fact.

Yup! That's the bell right there.

As if that wasn't bad enough, I got into her room and found a bell on a table by her bedside. I initially thought it had to do with some sort of religious doctrine or something along those lines, but my curiosity got he better of me and I asked her what the heck the bell was for. She said it was the hospital's version of a call-button to summon staff when patients needed attention!!!!!! O.O *Faints* :( :(
