Re: Your Experience With Nigeria Commercial Buses by beblessed(f): 8:36pm On Mar 06, 2013
My case is the state of mind of these drivers and conductors. Are they really sane? Over 80% of they are' high' on something daily. We all see how they carry out their business on the road which maks one wonder if they are aliens! I think regular workshops should be organised for them. They are just lunatics! Apologies to the good ones though.

Reminds me of what happened a couple of weeks back.

I boarded a bus at charity to obalende.The conductor shouted that people stopping at oshodi should disembark because he can't stop on top of the bridge cos of lastma. One man refused to come down stating that he asked from the beginning and was promised that he would be dropped at oshodi "oke". The driver told him that if he does not get down, he would not stop. The driver then angrily drove him to Anthony and told him to come down despite pleas from everyone for the driver to stop him. The guy refused to come doown and threatened to deal with the driver while making "fake calls" for guys to meet him at obalende.

When we got to obalende, the guy quietely came down without saying a word to our surprise. As the driver drove off, he said "Don't mind them jo, I was actually going to board BRT bus at oshodi to cms but God blessed me with free bus, all that one I was doing was mere fronting jare"

It was hilarious!

@ op just make good money so you no go de follow poor people de share the same experience. If you wan commute Use your own car (not moto o) or hire, if you de always travel long distance my advice, fly 1st class or charter or best buy a personal jet. Good luck.
Re: Your Experience With Nigeria Commercial Buses by harlos: 9:04pm On Mar 06, 2013
This just happened to me two days ago.
The conductor knew the fuel won't be enough to take us to our destination,so he didn't waste time in collecting money from us, not up to a minute he collect money from me the next thing fuel finish... Lobatan

In the middle of the road we had to push it to one side first before shouting and calling for our money, but it was too late as the conductor don jump enter bike go find fuel come.
The driver could not give us as he don't know how much we paid, we had to wait till the conductor come back.

One man just shouted...
"Driver, sho mu igbo ni, eré e tin poju, shoó mo pe irìn ni gbogbo ara okò re ni"

The last time I checked, Nigeria was a third world, sub-saharan sh1thole country with smelly and BLACK citizens.

You people need to get a life instead of pretending Abuja is supposed to be Washington D.C and Lagos is New York or London full of tea drinking oyibos.

Hello, you have the biggest cesspit slum called Lagos. Which kind of buses do you expect those inhabitants to ride back to their villages on weekends?

Afam4eva: At least those inter-state buses are better. Have you entered a danfo in Lagos before? I don't know how people can enter a bus that's supposed to be in the trash. These buses are accidents that have already happened.

You don't have to get all defensive to cover up. Learn to construct a simple sentence without your lazy abbreviations, you won't go far with that because they're just as bad. This isn't a text conversation, it's a forum you idi0t

Re: Your Experience With Nigeria Commercial Buses by Nobody: 10:45pm On Mar 06, 2013
If you are talking about inter-state buses, the best are those Toyota Hiace (Hummer) Buses plying the Lagos - Onitsha road. Comfortable, Air conditioned. If you have a rickety bus plying that route, you're on your own cos nobody will enter your bus.

Temi 23: Good day Nairalanders,
I will love to share my experience with Nigeria Bus;why is it that some of the owner of these bus don't know how to service their machine. For example if you board a bus going to any state in nigeria, until the passenger filled up and the bus start to move that's when the driver will know that he doesn't have petrol,he has not pump is tyre and βε̲̣ wasting the passengers time. Does Nigeria Bus really worth it? If you put on white cloth and you enter into any one of them before u get to your destination the white would have turned to black especially dry season oh gush can't imagine.

Pls feel free to share your experience

hardbody: I last enjoyed the benefit of those misfits more than a decade ago, so presently i cannot even remember what it used to be. Suffice it to say that when i drive, i see those moving coffins and sometimes sypmathise with the cargo of people being conveyed. Even intra state, i do 'the air', so presently, no recent experience. I however relate with what you guys are going through whenever i drive pass the yellow buses. God will do it for all of you.
