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.

14. The newspaper borrower

Oh, I could go on and on!! Lagos is in a class of its own mehn. I don miss cheesy cheesy

15) The 'liars on call'- they get calls and say they are at allen junction whereas they are still at mangoro/cement. Most of us are guilty of dat, except me wink


16) silent releaser- they 'shuffle' the air and i dey pity the person wey no get hanky to cover nose- sometimes might be those well-dressed/suited up fellas. Its a no respecter of persons.

17) trader- this ones enter after a passenger had dropped halfway thru the destination of d bus. They always bargain over sacks/loads with d conductor, sometimes delaying everyone. Not to talk of d stench if its a meat-seller/butcher.sometimes u wished 'molue' was still around to transport these passengers instead. You can percieve the squeezed faces of some passenger when they enter, sometimes singing 'pasuma' grin



18) 'Olopa superior'- theses once are police officers that just enter any danfo anyhow, speeding or in traffic jam. Mind you they wont even pay. They love the front seats besides the driver(with that bag) they even hang with the conductor if there's no space.

grin grin i can think of 5 more, but il stop here

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

grin
Maybe she wanted to date you...she fell in love at first sight grin grin grin

That moment when the Danfo you are in is overtaken by another Danfo only for a certain passenger in the other Danfo to smirk at you like "we dem boss".

That moment when a Danfo driver shouts at a private driver (probably driving an SUV) "shey u no go carry that your pangolo comot for road!!?"

The Preacherman Annoys me the most,its not only in Danfo u'll get dem,I was Travellin to Owerri frm Lagos the other day on one of this Hummerbus,then suddenly this man started preaching all d way frm lagos,he didnt stop till we got to Benin meanwhile i had wanted to make calls but i cudnt cos the receiver wont believe am in a bus(they will think i went to church)

the Jjc made me laugh cos it happened to me recently.......(though i was born & breed in lagos)i was going to visit my cousin who just moved in at Ijegun(Ikotun)though have nevr been there before so he directed me.i took danfo frm Oshodi to Ikotun,stop at jakande estate to enter another danfo going to Ijegun,when i got inside d danfo i was sitting in d middle of 2 beautiful girls who i think its their lst time of also going to ijegun,so one of the girls asked me if estate junction is not far,instead of me to tell her i dnt knw where estate junction is i pretend like i knw and told her its not far,so d other girl thinking i knw d rd well now asked me if her junction is not far too,i also said d same,i cudnt bring mysef to tell d driver to alert me when i get to my "so" junction cos d girls will knw i dnt knw d Rd and i lied,so i keep Quiet,after some time those girls came down to their various bustops,when we got to d last busstop,evrybody came down i now went to d driver to tell him i wanted to stop at "so" busstop,then he shouted in a yoruba accent "arrggh we don pass der tai tai,enter Keke N200 go back"

Op Add this to d list,people that likes struggling to enter front seat with driver,even if they sit in d bck they will want to enter d front seat when they notice its vacant,as if it their calling to sit in d front seat with driver

donmalcolm21: What about the girls you chat up in the bus and the next minute they keep silent when conductor tell them "owo da" expecting u to pay. This story happened to my colleague in the office, he was transferred from Enugu to lagos and he do come to work from Egbeda. One day he asked me how much is Egbeda to Ikeja? I told him its 150, he now screamed that the conductor do collect 300 from him, he said when people are paying they do say "meji" so when he also want to pay he do tell the conductor "meji" that he tought MeJi was his bus stop.

You guys forgot to mention the music noise makers.
These are the guys that play music from their phones (most of the times na chinko oo) and increase the volume so high that everyone must know say na upcoming DJ dem be.
God help you if you are sitted close to one of these guys and you complain, you hear something like " bros, you pay my money join your own ni" and if you press further, omo na insult ooo.
