Late night driving here in the US is quite common, and I have done many a drive where I get to my destination in the wee hours of the morning. The only downside is the occasional traffic due to road constructions. Most crews do their constructions in the middle of the night.

The one drive that I know really hit me was a day I had to drive from my base to drop my parents up at JFK. Their flight was to depart around midnight. I had a very stressful day at work and by the time we hit the road around 6pm, I was already exhausted. Drove six hours to drop them and headed back immediately. At around 3:30am I started seeing double. At some point I saw myself peering in from outside the car. That's when I knew I had fallen asleep. I jerked awake just in time and found the next service station, where I pulled over to clear my eyes a bit. I managed to get a little shut eye and resumed the journey. Got back at around 6am. I didn't know how I dozed off in the car after parking and I was only woken up around 7:30 when my neighbor knocked on the window with a worried look on his face.

Exactly I guess it would be tht school. what happened to me too, my fiancee was a pharmacy student then in UNN, then I flew in Nigeria from U.K and to Enugu. Went to Nsukka lodge at golden valley hotel( u fit know am shaa) so I really wanted to see her that night because it was meant to be a surprise visit though chatted her on Facebook where she was exactly, she said marlima but was surprised why I asked. She thought I was still at U.K via Facebook. I boarded a bike but they didn't allowed the bike cross the gate..the security men....I walked inside the campus looking lost because I schooled at Unilag actually. I met a boy in the campus who directed me but didn't tell me that stadium was risky. Omoh, I was pressing my I phone 12 pro max and it was nearly snatched from me at that uncompleted stadium building but one huge fair guy saved me by shouting "thief oh". The guy later took me to the same marlima though I felt like blessing him and gave transferred 50k to his account. I reached marlima to see my bae and didn't see her at first till I chatted again and she said she was sitting at S.u.b but she was surprised asking me what I was using it for besides that guy that saved me at stadium took me to the s.u.b which wasn't far till I saw her sitting on top of the leg of another man, it was night, she didn't see me. I calmly sat down opposite with my newly found friend, we were just observing she and guy because I wanted to be sure until suddenly she stood up with the guy, they hugged and kissed just once. I was mad! I accosted her, she was so shocked that she started crying. Omoh, I was weak to go back to my hotel and I followed my newly found friend to his house at hill top or hill hop...but the place has name like that..not sure of the exact name. I was depressed that night and the guy explained to me to avoid unn pharmacy girls, that they have pride and not submissive with promiscuous lives. Forget that am a man, I cried that night!

Exactly why I am still single till 29 now and my younger bro just got married.

BennyDGreat:


Don't be pressured. Marriage na long-term affair.
Many folks who got married don't tell the truth that's why people sometimes assume marriage is easy cos of the way they always portray it. Marriage takes work. Hardwork!

christejames:


You should have entered UNN Shuttle at the gate side there or wait for the shuttle. Well, thank God for that your friend who came out of the blues to save the day.


Yeah, it's Hill Top just after St Peter's Chaplaincy.



Mehn, your friend told you the truth about pharmacy girls, those girls have got some pride in them since they are the only major medical discipline in Nsukka campus. I bet she was just influenced by her peers who've got so much ego... Me no too get their time. Not just pharmacy, almost all the professional discipline in UNN, their girls get too much ego... In short, an average UNN girl has that pride. But hay, they are still handful of discipline and upright girls in UNN which one can vouch for.


Your experience just stares me in the eyes while reading it because I can picture everything you mentioned.




Sorry about your lose bro, it happens sometimes... Even me, UNN student then chop my first breakfast from a fellow student. My own story dey somehow sha ... God dey and we still dey manage.



Hope you never got back to her and you are now doing better?

Nairas2dollars:



Upon everything I did for her, am a doctor oh and not like I am not learned. I used because of her to change number so she can't ever reach me, deleted my Facebook account when she keeps stalking me. I regret deleting my Facebook account, I lost contacts with some old friends. But why didn't the security man allowed my bike man to pass the gate, I even brought out #500 to give him but the old man shaked his head and refused.

Carcholce:
Where I come from, (Edo state) we don’t drive at night. We fly instead.

meobizy:
Night driving, what for? Home too sweet. Na only thief dey drive for night if no be emergency. During the election, nighttime was when election riggers moved freely because sane folk were at home winding down for the day.

Ogundex:


Once its 10pm then, bikes are no longer allowed into the school. The school then use DF to have their own bikes with aprons which is allowed within the school premises. Any non registered bike will only stop you at the gates

Samirana360:
Night driving dey sweet oo
I remember when I was doing Uber in Lagos, I only work at night.... Free road, no lastma, no police, no vio, no road safety.
But it's dangerous oo
Can't remember how many times I slept on the road, agbero attack, evil people etc....


Night driving is the best shaa especially in Lagos

Coolgent:

I disagree with your signature; there are a lot of millionaires in nairaland ain't sure of billionaire.

Thomhenry:
A certain night I drove out to get some snacks. I nearly knocked down a bike man because he was coming at me with full halogen bulbs shining directly at me and on my own lane. I couldn't see clearly where he was until he was very close. It was really a close call.
