Surviving Nigeria requires you having a guy for everything from making clothes to getting into a club. To help all the “learners” out there, we have compiled the ultimate Nigerian “connects” survival kit.
1. A tailor to keep you looking “frosh”
You need someone to sew aso ebi for the party you want to crash with little or no notice.
2. A backup tailor in case your regular tailor is having brain touch
If your tailor does not have this kind of poster he/she doesn’t know the work oh!
3. A mechanic
Lagos roads will destroy your car for you and you need a mechanic that will only cheat you small because they fear God.

For when Nepa decides to send too much light and blows all your electric appliances.
