The Abuser --- This passenger and d driver/conductor will rain different curses and abuses on each other till the passenger alights frm d bus... It cud be fun listening to their conversation after a stressful day @ work... Other passengers like me will laugh @ each heavy word... #LOL

There was actually a day dat a woman stood by d doorway and d conductor abused d woman in his native dialect... Na so d woman looked back angrily and replied the conductor in dat same dialect... The conductor was shocked that day... We cudn't control our laughter dat day...

There was also a day dat a hot argument ensued btw d driver and a passenger... Suddenly, the driver jux parked @ a bus stop and he came down frm d bus. That was how dis cool handsome dude alighted frm d bus and removed his suit jacket, removed his tie and dropped his laptop with his friend. Come and see Mortal Combat day ooo... It was as if av never seen two ppl fight b4... The cool dude beat d hell out of d driver... #LOL

There was also a day dat a driver came out of his bus angrily and abused our driver for wrong driving... He came to our driver's side tried to drag him down frm d bus but our driver jux ignored him and kept quiet... This driver rained different abuses on our driver till he alighted from the bus... U need to c d surprise on our faces when our driver alighted frm d bus... Our driver was so TALL dat the other driver's height did not get to his elbow... That was how dis other driver started begging our driver dat he didn't know it was him... #LOL

The GSM Callers are d set of ppl I hate most in d bus... They will always disturb u wit their useless conversation after having a stressful day... By their conversation u shall know their life history... Mtcheeeewwww

All d same I always enjoy going home in a bus cos of the comic relief... #Eko4Show

MsNas: 11. The dirty mechanic that will wear his oily, grease-stained and filthy workshop clothes. Enters the bus and sits beside you like that. God help you if you're putting on white clothing, you will nearly enter the body of the next person beside you in a bid to avoid contact with them. The most annoying part is that they will feign ignorance and sit as comfortable as ever. angry

12. The one that will buy boiled eggs, gala, Lacasera, pure water and so on eat all through the journey. They will chew like locomotive engines when they eat their bounty and if you're lucky they might even throw grenades (Farts) grin

13. The fat woman that is supposed to pay for two seats but will pay for one and you will be squeezed like tuna in a can.

Onegai: Craziest story from a danfo coming up now!

On a sunday, decided to go pick up my hard-drive from my brother (he's on the island, I was then in S/lere). I got to Shitta and instead of taking a cab, decided to do alaroro and enter bus to the island.
At CMS, I boarded a bus going to Lekki. The woman beside me was smacking her lips on a sachet of pure water and was dressed like a "busstop geh" (not ashi, but like someone who hangs out with area boys). As soon as the bus was full and the conductor started taking fares, she calmly and loudly began to ask each person to pay her fare (with no shame and no begging). She argued with the conductor until out of "let this noise end", another customer paid. Me, I jejely brought out my phone to keep busy (and not make eye contact).

She made a point of helping me announce my b/stop (I didn't ask her o!). I dropped off at the stop and she got off too. Me, I walked quickly into the estate. Like 20 mins later, I was home and decided to get some chicken from the fridge. Our flats have windows facing out the kitchen in front (Lord knows why 1004 is designed with no privacy in mind). Suddenly someone started ringing and banging our neighbour's door, it was made. I tried to look out and that was when THAT SAME LADY FROM THE BUS spotted me! Immediately she came to our door and started doing the same. I told my bro (he got angry) and he answered the door. Same brazen, cocky manner from this lady: she said she knew me, we were friends, she had business with me, they should tell me to come outside to meet her! She refused to leave till we called security and even then she sat by the crescent gate, waiting for me to come out. My brother ended up driving me home.

Trust my mama to have sharp Nigerian mama tongue: "you'll be carrying natural hair up and down, wearing ankara with oily face, she thought you were poor and at her level!" grin

Ogba peeps plenty here. My own is, the two lovers who cant bear not to sit together, most times u see them at the back playing romantically with each other. Na u go comot your eye ni. the young university or secondary school leavers most especially girls gisting about their care free life. U cant help but eavesdrop on their conversation and wonder where all the young carefree days went. Sometimes, i wish i could be young again and without a care in d world .

researchQ: The preacher who will preach and pray for the passengers then when the bus is about to move he will tell you to bring money aka sow seed to support his 'ministry'. Then you begin to wonder is he preaching so he can genuinely do the work of God or is he there collecting money from passengers for his own personal use?

@OP, you forgot about the lousy conductor who siezes every opportunity to insult and even fight with passengers, passersby, touts (agberos), even policemen. And the driver silently watches all these transpire.
