well. This indirectly happened to me. My fiancee and I are preparing for our wedding. So a friend who stays in the US decided to get my bae's wedding gown at no cost order than for us to pay the shipping cost. initially, I was mad with my bae as I tot its even better we get one here around 35k instead of bothering the friend but had to succumb to her persistence of wanting to use the one from oversees. mind you, the shipping cost was 25k.
Fast forward to last week, the gown arrived. infact, it came with the wedding necklace, shoes, and all accessories and I knew its worth it. The older sister to that friend was to pick it and bring it over to my place in Ife, Osun State. After picking the package she boarded the bus and by the time she arrived at Ife, her suitcase was nowhere to be found. indeed, another passenger who has exactly that type of suitcase had mistaken it for hers and alighted earlier then boarded another bus to osogbo.

I also learnt that it pays when you board from a bus stop instead of raking `so le‘. I mean all these cheap road side transport.
