This was fascinating to read, @kingsleyy. Lagos seems to be a highly competitive community. When I was very young I used to commute to Manhattan from Brooklyn (a borough) and the train was a little like what you describe. There was no room to breathe, even, on the commuter train. People used to push themselves in and then stand like sardines packed together. But that ride only lasted an hour.

The great thing about Hive is that we get to learn about the experiences of others, first hand. Hope your career opportunity is continuing to look bright.
