ingenuity or resourcefulness?

Medicines are easily available in Lagos, however the chances of finding authentic ones are very slim...consequently you end up bringing some medicines with you from home or in my case you buy it from the supermarket!!!! Yes on the second level of goodies you will find a medicine counter.
Today Thomas's cough allergy is back. The doctor in Beirut prescribed the medicine over the phone. Next, we talk to Mr. Ali @ goodies. He confirms that one is available now but the second one shall be delivered tomorrow from Beirut. When I went to pick it up, he explained to me the system. With every flight from Beirut to Lagos a medicine parcel is sent from a pharmacy in Beirut. MEA flies to Lagos 3 times a week, so when you are short on any medicine, they are more than happy to arrange it for you. Of course it comes at a price many residents are willing to pay!
