We were travelling and our bus broke down in a small town along the highway. Before the breakdown each passenger was minding his own business and no one was talking to another.
As we were waiting while the mechanic was fixing the car, I brought out a bottle of groundnut that I bought before boarding the bus and offered to everyone around. The next guy bought banana immediately, another bought drinks. Another started playing music on his phone, and that was how a small party started.
By the time the mechanic was through with fixing the vehicle it was as if we had known one another for many years. That was my best travel experience.
BROS you traveled with good samaritans

2010 or so while traveling to Akungba in Ondo State from Kaduna state to write postutme, got to a place and we saw so many vehicles parked on the road. Our bus stopped and we were told there was a robbery going on in front, we were still wondering why they chose to rob during the day when we saw people running towards us and shouting 'dem dey come o'... Don't even know how the guy that sat closed to me jumped out, all I remembered was that before I could look at my side, he was already far into the bush, running like a mad man.....

Me no even know when I burst laugh while still seated inside the bus and people were struggling to get out from the Bus...

It was so funny, I later got to know that he actually jumped through the window without even me that sat closed to him knowing.

Mine was during my service year in Edo State.

It was a rainy day. Got stuck in Benin and was traveling to Afuze. After the rain stopped, the road was flooded and had to wade in through the water to one popular park (Ramat park or something) to take a bus to Auchi onward Afuze. The bus got filled around 9pm.

Reached Auchi around 12am midnight and I didn't know a single soul. Where will I sleep? One co-traveler, a student, notice my dilemma and offered me his place around an area called Water Board. We trekked for about 30 mins to reach his hostel. On entering his room we met many people there smoking confirmed weed and drinking hard drinks. Cultists probably.

They left for God know where around 1am.

Was offered a bed to sleep but who wan sleep inside a smoke-filled room? Was just praying the police wouldnt choose that night to raid that hostel.

Some years back, I travelled to a place together with my sister for a program, we were there for few days so, I had two bags containing my things other than my purse. Both of us didn't know anybody there and we've never been there before that time.

After the program, everyone was leaving. We were trekking together with few friends we made there, to where we would take a bus to a destination where we would take another bus to where we came from.

People that came in car were driving pass and some of them were stopping to help people to at least a particular destination (almost everyone gets to that destination before heading to their different places). Some still go further if the destination of the person giving them ride is the same as theirs.

At a point, someone stopped to help us, my sister and our friends were able to enter except me. My Sister wanted to come down but I asked them to go and not worry, so my Sister helped me with one of my bags cry

After the car left in sight, I wanted to check my phone but alas! My purse is inside the bag my sister collected, it contained all the money on me, my phone and Atm card cry

I stopped on the road for few seconds, I lost everything in my head and didn't even know where I was. It has never happened to me before.

I continued my trekking thinking of what to do. With so much fear I got to a bus and entered, after some minutes, it was full and we moved. The only thing I could do was to silently pray that I meet my sister at that destination. That would be possible if their free ride is not going to the same place after that destination and if she stopped there, she doesn't get a bus before I get there.

Luckily for me we got to the destination, and I saw my sister somewhere afar waiting for bus.
I shouted her name with all the strength in me, she looked at me like "pay and come". I beckoned to her and she came, that was when the driver knew I didn't have any money on me. It was really traumatizing.

when I was in primary 6, my parents told me not to go to my school excursion because there was no money to pay the bills. I was sad cause I was the Headboy, how on earth will the whole class go for excursion and me the head boy is to be left out. I started making plans without my parents knowledge, I pleaded with my class teacher that my parents said they'll pay the following week. on D-Day I packed my things like I was going to school, I stole my brother's Jean trouser, I had no belt then so I removed the rope on my native wear in place of belt.when we got there, we were told to take off our shirt for sport that was how my rope started dangling, It was as if the ground should open and swallow me
Eyah, children should learn to listen to their parents

Mine Happened like 4 years ago, i took a night bus going to the east, when we got to ijebu ode we saw vehicles parked nd were informed that robbery was going on ahead. That was how our useless driver put head and enter road o, we had not even driven up to 15mins from the place of robbery when the vehicle broke down. That was how everyone came down and started trekking that lonely highway by midnight
That driver is a suspect.

I was traveling to Onitsha from Sokoto. Journey was around 850km. The seats were all occupied and the gangway filled to the brim. No AC. There was awful stench oozing from every corner and the fact that I didn't get the window side never helped matters. A woman bought a live Hen and the best place she deemed fit to keep it was right under my seat. angry. I am always scared of touching a live Hen or any animal, and here I am being tormented by a live chicken on top my 8,000 tfare that I paid. The bus had not even gone 10km when somebody hanging on the gangway fainted. The bus had to stop to eject the dude. We were still raining curses on the driver when another guy vomitted on 3 people.
If there was one word to describe the journey, the word would be HORRIFIC. Las Last i reach upper iweka 23 hrs laterlooking like someone who just finished playing a rugby match. grin. BTW, na thru that travel I take know sey this country big o.

It was last year year, going to work (V.I.) in the staff bus ( luxurious bus) around 5.40am. On the 3rd mainland shortly after Iyana Oworo. There was a broken down car parked by the rail on the bridge with C-Caution to indicate a broken car.
Our driver was just speeding, he climbed the C-Caution. I sat in front shouting by calling the driver that there was broken down car, this man didn't hear! As he was about to get to the broken down car with speed, he just manouvered the bus to his left side avoiding the broken down car by few inches! What really saved us was that there was no vehicle coming on the left side. He then went to pack in front. Infact, if he had hit the car with the speed, we would have been thrown into the lagoon. When we asked the driver why he drove that way, he could not even talked. I really thank God for His protection. It was a miracle we escaped that incident. Since that day, I said I won't sit in front of any vehicle. The impact would have been more on me.
You will no longer sit at the front of any vehicle? Did you know that you were the God sent for everyone in that bus that day? What if it was someone else and s/he had slept off? You only looked at the negative side of sitting at the front not the positive side.

Hope you guys sacked the reckless driver for attempted mass manslaughter? I would have fired him 1 second after reporting to work.

Mind you, All the stores nearby were closed for the night and uber did not exist at that time. One of the guys waiting for the next train with me was smoking. I do not smoke, the cold was penerating my bones despite wearing a thick coat. I was forced to smoke , men i tell u that ciga felt so good. It was the best cigarettes i have smoked because i felt warm . Thank God, the next train came in 2 hours.

5 years ago on a flight to Australia across the Indian ocean we were slammed by turbulence! Brothers and sisters! Imagine being hot by a 10 ton truck and you're on foot! Well.... through clenched and chattering teeth prayers arose from EVERY LIP! Boy! It was a Joint Task Force of all religious and non religious humans! Suddenly the lights in the passenger cabin went off! And as suddenly as it went off it came on again! I opened my eyes and there was a handsome businessman at the door of the plane! Was he trying to open it and jump? I didn't ask...we all were gripped with morbid fear.... slowly the turbulence eased off and everything was ok... but of course, no one slept again for the rest of the trip (about 2 hours). The pilot explained that we had hit a great mass of cold air...
Anyway... everyone tried to relax by chatting with everyone else... until we landed...
Boy...I saw people kiss the Earth... honestly...the Earth is the safest place to travel! Chaiiiii.... can't forget that night...
Imagine that I had to return to Accra again after 2 weeks! Flying hours over the same ocean...Phew!

Sit back guys,relax and let me share my own worst and funny experience with you guys..
It was 2 years ago when I was travelling for my sister wedding..Due to my work,i wasn't able to travelled with family and friends.Its was a family travelling in convoy all the way from abuja but i missed the whole fun because i had my own plans..So on friday i decided to go on a night trip because i had so much to do that day..
Now the real gist.....So i followed "the young shall grow" and we left abuja by 10pm..I travelled with them on this their very long luxurios bus..There was this particular guy(in his late 30s)we noticed that he was eating almost everything that came his way.From his looks u could tell he was a rich fancy guy cos he had alot of chains on him like he was #2chainz..I remember a lady jokingly cautioned him about the way he was eating stuffs so he doesn't get pressed on road but he just laughed about it and he put back his headphones and was on his jamz.Later by around 2am..

Mine happened in 2013. Finished my first semester exams though I still have two papers to write but that will be in a week time so I decided to travel to lag without telling a soul. My sis was even in lag but I didn't even tell her. Want to see boyfriend. Day to leave and head back to school came and Bobo said no money for tp(I barely survived the one week, was even ill sef). Had to start sending whatsapp messages to my friends so the can send me some cash. I was able to get the tp, so the plan was I will take a morning bus and my sis was leaving that same day too so I was praying I don't meet her in the park. We got to the park but the morning bus has already left. So the plan was now a night bus and since I don't have enough cash on me, he had to leave me at the park and head back home cos it won't be possible for us to leave together. Spent the whole day at the park, we left around 7pm. Few hours into the journey, we got a tire burst and na for one deserted bush. The driver came down and fixed it, we sha left there after 11. By 6 we were at the outskirts of logical when the the same tire burst again and no more spare. The driver called and was told to wait for the night bus for the day to bring tire. Meanwhile, popci was busy calling to know when I was leaving Zaria to Jos. Last last, na passengers contribute and a tire was bought and fixed by then it was already after 12 in the afternoon. I Sha told popci I was passing through Kd and we had tire issues. Reached Jos around 10pm a journey of 12 hours took more than 24 hours. Popci and my brother were already waiting at the junction to pick me and my sis(she arrived before me). I missed my exams and spent a week on admission in the hospital.

So later by around 2am,I was woken up by a serious commotion in the bus and when i took my headphones off so i could catch the whole story.The first person i heard was the driver saying "i no go fit park 4 here because them dey kill people here 2much".then i noticed the driver was seriously accelerating with no sign of slowing down..Automatically my eye cleared,sleep dissappeared from me..Then i noticed some people from behind were still shouting that the driver should stop that they cant breathe well again..I was stil confused about the whole thing then i attempted 2 turn back and atleast understand wat was going on..As i turned,ladies and gentlemen the kind of odour that hit my face almost gave me a heart attack..That was when i realised that "bros don shit 4 body"..And the whole bus was smelling massively..I could not bare it at all so i sticked my head thru d window..Everybody from behind were seriouly pushing to the front 2 avoiding being choked 2 death by the awful smell..
