The loud-mouthed one is Gaius. The guy in the red pants in the kabukabu driver that "bash his car". The guy in the white and blue shirt who went away briefly is the one who came with the turpentine (you can see him sort of cleaning the paint off).
Some filler info: the kabukabu driver had a passenger who faded from the scene as soon as we cleared off the road. That's who Gaius is talking about at the end. That guy he's talking to at the end is the same one from across the street that he stood yelling at after everyone had left. I'm still struck by how much time they spent "conversing" patiently, especially since dude from across the street really didn't need to stick around to be yelled at!
So sorry about the sync problem - dunno how to fix it. Hope you can enjoy it anyway.

odd - first comment doesn't identify me properly. anyway, question - did none of them notice your documentationary activity while they were carrying on?
i guess not! but let's face it, gaius was so engaging, i'd be surprised if they'd noticed anything else!

I'll be late for work this morning but it was worth it. Naija is truly a parallel universe

Thank you plenti plenti for allowing us to view the video...Gaius sef, he too talk...but I no blame am sha...it is the person who has the power to argue that actually wins a fight (when they hit ur car)...And it is so funny that they did not even notice what you were doing...Naija fo show!
So heated, I was sure a fight would ensue.
None of them noticed u filming them. Or maybe they thought u were playing with ur mobile? Would love to see their faces when they get to see this clip of their 'activity' on the net.
We're just a nation of Illiterates...

Well, the thing's okay. I'm a bit disappointed that a few slaps weren't exchanged. If only it were Benin or Warri...
