OK.
On the real tho, this #ManInTheBox is definitely one of the most creative things I’ve seen here in a long time.The only thing that comes close for me, is the “3 orange men” many years ago.
Impressive! 👏👏👏— essahvahn (@Vaneezly) May 7, 2018
Few days in Lagos and I’ve already seen it all.
I have been molested by danfo conductors;
Been duped at computer village;
Been lied to by Lekki boys;
And few moments ago, I just saw a #ManInTheBox. He is usually using a box as an office 🤦🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/8NRiY4ZZa2— Samiat (@ThatHausaChic) May 7, 2018
