During NYSC too I was going from a SE state to Maiduguri ......(sometimes I get car sick....but for reason I did not get car sick the first time I went to Maid.) So I thought to do it again after the Christmas break Shortly after we passed 9th Mile, Enugu...before Benue..the warnings started--- the slow burn of nausea and brain weakness...I dunno what to call it now And still in Enugu/Benue The horrible carsickness continued until we reached a town before a place called "Forest" I dont remember the name of the town, or outpost...I was that sick It seemed like it took fifty hours before we got there I was not aware of places we passed, whether we stopped or not ....but I think we stopped at that place, or I told them to stop, I do not remember I just remember seeing a Lawd! chemist shop! I do not recollect leaving the bus....I do not remember how I entered the shop...or what I said to the druggist to make him give me an injection.... I remember being in the bus, finding a vein on my left hand....and stabbing myself real quick with the needle to get a fix of the drug....just like a junkie My poor neighbour, a guy who had been saying things I do not remember "blanched". at the deed....still dunno what he said I remember excusing myself to him that I was going to sleep very gracelessly....before zonking out The sleep of the unconscious.... With the first waking, we were at Potiskum, and the nausea was blessedly gone However the sleep continued Luckily I had someone at the park waiting, and I fell right into his waiting, saving hands... Poor guy who sat near me, he thought he had made a catch....then he had to watch me puke into a bag, twice...while he held bags Then to make matters worse....he saw a weaker vessel stab herself with a needle, just like the queen of vampires ....or something Of course he was my pillow thruout And I did not look at his shirt.... Poor, poor guy It is amazing how little I remember of an 18 hour journey....apart from seeing a drug store and excusing self to puke and sleep...maybe the guy took me to the shop, I dont remember. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

[b]Firstly I give God the glory for being alive to share this Tragicomedy trip of mine.....Clear throats, After my session break in Unilorin which is long vacation I decided to go home [lagos] by train...So I entered a cab from sanrab tanke to challenge (challenge in ilorin is where the train normally moves from) on getting to challenge I decided to withdraw some cash at oceanic bank now Ecobank to spice up my trip inside the train...I was on the queue to collect money when the train starts....I ran alittle bit on the tracks to hop in cos I just have to feel the vip setting which is #1100 to lagos....CHUCKLES....when I turned back behold I saw my departmental guy he asked me why am I running after the train I told him I want to feel the trip to lag he said there is no prob that we can still catch up I looked at him and said guy stop am jare if na play....Then he started to analyses the movement of the train and how trains usually have stop over and how they operates....He told me the train will stop at Offa to pick up some locals who usually sells alcohols for them and they will spend nothing less than 15mints at that particular terminal....so from ilorin we boarded a bus going to offa to catch up,On our way to offa there is a robbery inprogress at one Gtb we are forced to park @ one very dirty mechanic shop where black oil is everywhere...my guy and I prostrated on the floor praying till the robbers left...by the time we get up my guy said to me- GUY: guy the train go stop for osogbo ME: guy I no wan risk am again me wan enta bus dey go lag here GUY: I no get much on me e go beta make we go 2geda cos I wan drop @ IB We decided to board another bus from offa to osogbo to catch up with the moving train...this time around the old man that carried us slow pass snail even mikel fast pass am evryone in bus where like driver move fast nau is somthing wrong with your car ...my passengers sorry o na jeje (gentle) life I com o the old man replied....by then I got so angry that I nearly overtake the driver's sit. Now at Osogbo....immediately we get down from the bus we are told the train just left now..aarrrggg I told my guy- ME: brother abeg whre we go enta sorle (moving bus) to lag? GUY: baba no worry we go enta korope (very small bus) to ikirun or ede sha ...have forgotten mayb ikirun or ede sha ME: okk make we dey go its almost 5pm then......when will get to the said place we entered one bukka(small canteen) I ordered for eba cos I feel need more energy to complete my journey my guy order same too as we are eating the canteen madam asked us if we have come along way cos we looked like refugees from somalia I smiled and told her...madam it has not been easy getting here. Now at the roadside waiting for any available bus to lag...its around 5:50pm then...we waited for almost an hour before one new sienna vehicle stopped....when we enter inside the car I have strange feelings cos everywhere is full of smoke flame the owner and his friend looked at us at the back and said we should not be nervous that they are actually coming from uniosun where their galfrnds are schooling....I look at them and said Sir we are students from unilorin and we are going home for break...the man said waow that's good we should exchange numbers so whenever they visits my sch we will arrange babes for them....at that point I know these guys are just normal people who likes to have fun and play around with school babes....The man said to us that he's stopping at ibadan that we should find our way from there...my guy said to them that he's even going to ibadan when we dropped its already 7pm and I need to get to lagos which no one knows am coming home. From IB now to lag comes another struggle with the conductors. *relaxing my thumbs*[/b] 5 Likes |

Mine was Lagos to Kwara driving home for sallah and the car was doing overheating. It was annoying having to stop after every 20 minutes to allow the engine to cool. It was an experience I don't pray I experience again. 4 Likes |

Mine was a church trip to a VERY RURAL area with no roads(even tracks sef) it was my final year and it was my little way of doing God's work, spent 2days on the road(just going), sometimes we needed to get off the car and trek for some miles as the hills were gigantic. Probably trekked for 5 hours straight on our way back when the car got stucked, cos it was raining and mud was everywhere, had to find a river bank to park some sharp sand so the tires can take hold, all this under serious rain. That's just the iceberg o, i broke down some days after I came back home, buh the recovery was swift(Glory to God). N btw, the church we went to open? The resident pastor eloped to Lagos after some weeks or so, Glory to God someone took over and its been growing wonderfully . 2 Likes 2 Shares |
