Travelling by road gives you the opportunity to meet a wide array of people. After travelling for a while you will come to realise that you will surely meet a certain group of Nigerians.

Below is a simple guide to a few of the many different types of people you will while travelling by road in Nigeria

1. The Story Teller That Won’t Shut Up

They never shut up. These are stranger who just love live and they just happen to be very friendly and chatty.

They always have a story to tell. They are very easy to identify as they usually leave their common sense at home when they travel

2. The Rude Loader

He wants you to pay for every item that is larger than the size of backpack. You will not blame him until you meet the . . .

3. The Unbelievably Bulky Traveller

This person usually travels with the highest amount of unimportant items you can ever think of.

Don’t be surprised if you find a grinding stone among or a mortar (or any ridiculous item) amongst this person’s luggage.

4. The Human Navigator

This person is apparently on this particular route all the time and knows every short cut, every nook and cranny of this route.

They usually come in handy sometimes.

5. The Assistant Driver

His job is to give the driver a crash course on how to drive a car. And if the driver proves to be adamant, he will remind the driver how he has been driving for (insert a very large figure) years.

Just hope you do not have two of this kind of people in your bus, else they will annoy the driver to a river. Literally

6. Front Seat Freak

They want to ride in the front passenger seat of the bus by all means and this is usually for some personal (unimportant) reason that you might never comprehend.

We like to think that they are trying to avoid sitting beside an annoying passenger or sitting in the front passenger seat of the bus gives them a feeling of control.

It probably makes them feel like the most important person in the bus (after the driver of course!).

7. The Radical Preparing A Stink Bomb With Their Stomach

They are going to eat everything they can lay their hand on during the journey and trust us, it won’t be funny for the other passengers when it starts coming out from the other side. If you know what we mean.

8. The Romantic Couple

They are super chill and friendly. They are most likely to engage in acts that will give the other passenger a mixed feeling of irritation and jealousy.

9. The Couple Who Seems To Be Trying Too Hard

You can tell they’re both equally in love and frustrated at the same time. Travelling with someone else is never easy and when you’re in a relationship you can only imagine it takes a little bit more patience than usual. Like the worldly couple, everything they do is together.

10.The Student Who Is Just Resuming School

A couple gigantic bags of clothes and foodstuff enough to feed a whole village? That is a student who is just resuming school.

Get ready for some professional level bargaining

11.Pastor Who Scares The Life Out Of You

This pastor is here to pray for your bus before it leaves the terminal or during journey. If only he would pray peacefully and just leave. He is going scare you with tales of where you are going to in case there is an accident and you do not survive.

Who does that?

12.The Phone Addict

Similar to travelling with a couple but this person is obsessed with their gadgets and married to their apps. They usually dedicate their time to their phone even when there is not network coverage.

Whatever you do, don’t try and take their phone off them, you’d have more chance trying to wrestle the prey from an alligator’s jaw.

Where do u find yourself?

Feel free to add yours!

So true

The callers

They always make or receive calls on the journey.

They discuss their life history and other important matters on the phone and sometimes brag.
