In the streets of Lagos around Surulere, Sports Betting houses such as Bet9ja and others resumed for businesses on slightest phone call by the various managers of these business. One cashier in a betting shop in Lagos said: “My boss called me to say I should report to work, we need to move on since the election was cancelled”. she quoted her boss.

In Lagos the popular street soccer called “sets” which seemed to be a long-term tradition was quick to come back as young boys trouped to their various locations to continue with the game of football which is usually played on the streets and other crannies on Saturdays.

A young teenager who came to play set but simply identified himself as Wale, spoke with our correspondent about the postponement of the election  and said “It was sad that the elections was postponed, but we have to move on and that is why I have come to enjoy myself by playing set”.

The election has been moved by one week to Saturday February 23, 2019, with INEC siting logistics problems amongst other issues as reasons for the postponement.
