Rotterdam, Netherlands – E be like say the hustle to bring goods into Europe don get new drama! Last week for Rotterdam Port, dem see container wey dey cause wahala.

Talk true, na wetin we dey call ‘Nigerian time’ for dem level.
As e be, many importers dey dey vex like pounded yam wey no get soup. Many people wey dey run business for this area don begin complain say dem no fit deliver goods wey go make dem money. Some don even suggest say make dem use bicycle to carry di container; wetin una think? (E fit work oh, if traffic no go bad pass!)
Trade experts don talk say dis whole gist fit affect di economy well well, especially with di holiday season dey near. E no go sweet if dem no fit deliver gifts for Christmas time, abi? Di last thing we fit dey see na Santa Claus dey use canoe come deliver gift from Naija to Amsterdam!
Di local authorities don promise say dem go quick fix di crane issue, but people just dey shake head. (If dem fit run dem matter like person wey dey chase Lagos bus, di traffic go don clear finish!)
