After our PTA bus, which took us from FGC Okigwe to FESTAC, dropped all my friends at Amuwo-Odofin park of C. N. Okoli I waited earnestly for my dad to come and pick me up.

One by one, I kept counting the vehicles that came and picked my friends until there was a handful of us. Those of us that were hopeful did not have cash to board danfo and the fear of boarding a danfo around 10:00PM wasn't a good idea.

Then I checked my Casio wristwatch and saw that the time was 11:00PM.

I was still hopeful.

When the time was getting close to 1:00AM, I called a few of my schoolmates and told them we needed to stay close.

The year was 1997 and Otokoto was still fresh. We were very afraid.

We located a makeshift shed which had two tables and some stools and made ourselves comfortable. We huddled close to keep warm. No girl was among us.

As we were sleeping, something hard hit me on the head and as we woke up, we heard a woman shouting profanities at us in Yoruba, asking us to get the hell out of her shop as if we were thinking it was our bedroom.

She was one of those ladies who sold hot drinks to the many men who patronized her at that unholy hour of the night.

We found another spot by a street light which was lit and slept open-eyed till t he morning came.

Any reason your pa didn't show up?

I ended up walking the whole distance and guess what, it wasn't all that bad. I passed the cars that refused me on the Opebi link bridge around Club Vegas. The traffic gridlock was insane. I got home, took a shower, shared my story with a friend and got laid.

My take from the experience is that Nigeria is irreparably damaged. Share your own experience.

Many years ago as a student of Unizik Awka, i discovered that during vacation, students travelling to lagos didnt take buses directly from unizik juntion to lagos. Rather they travelled all the way down to Asaba toll gate to board buses to lagos for between 500-1000 naira.

I was elated at this discovery and decided to try it out next vacation. Vacation came, nigga was already broke, had about 1400 naira on me home and abroad. So i took a bus 100 naira to onitsha from awka, took another bus 70 naira to asaba toll gate. And had 1230 left with me. I was lucky to get a bus going to lagos for 1000. I made sure i asked the driver if he would get to mile 2, cos my home was a walking distance from there. Driver said his last bus stop was mile 2. I paid and relaxed. Bought a plastic bottle of pepsi for 100 and one gala 50 naira. Money remaining on me was 80 naira

Brothers and sisters behold we got to ojota and the driver said everyone should get down that he had arrived his last destination. No amount of arguement or begging could change his mind, everyone climbed down including me. i walked to the roadside and stopped a bus going to mile 2, but because it was very late at night and it was rush hour too, the drivers said mile 2 was 250, and i had only 80 naira left on me. so i started to trek. i trekked from ojota to Anthony bustop that night. over 2 hours trekking. when i got to Anthony, i couldn't continue again. then i flagged another bus down, he said, mile 2 was 150, and I asked him what about orile, he said orile 100 naira. i begged him to carry me for 80 naira to orile so i can continue my trekking to mile 2 from orile. the conductor agreed and they carried me to orile. getting to orile it was already past 11pm, then i started my second phase of trekking to mile 2.

Along the way my sandals cut, and i brought my travelling bag down to change to shoes and continue my trekking. last last i got home before 12 midnight with my two legs shaking like i was subjected to a 'pickpin' style punishment.

P.S: As little as 200 naira was, i couldn't bring myslf to beg people for money that night

The day I went for my first interview. (The original shoe I bought for 18k).

As I alighted from the bus,i went straight to a roadside clobber, I told him I have an interview and he should hurry with polishing my shoe. He told me to sit down and he took my shoes to get polish along with him. I waited and waited on him but he didn't come back with my shoe. It was already 9am and I was called that it's time, that I should step in but I told them my plight. They adjusted my interview to 10 am. I waited but that idiot clobber didn't return. I was confused , so i decided to knock at someone's gate closer to me. An old man opened the gate and asked who I was looking for?, I gave him straight answer and I told him my plight that he should lend me one of his shoes, He said he doesn't have. It was 10:30, they called and said they will postpone mine.

I finally saw one young guy and I explained to him,he gave me his and I put it on, and headed for my interview despite the postponement.


I finally got there by 12:23 pm and guess what?

Nigeria's economy is growing on paper but for average citizen, there's little or nothing to show for it. Visiting any of the major cities in the world, you would find out transportation is almost if not free.
Whether you live in Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Awka, Owerri, Asaba, Enugu, Rivers, Benin or even the FCT, you are likely to come across someone who is stranded and in need of some transport fare. Anyone can find themselves in this situation. Anyone, but because of evil doers, nobody trusts or helps anyone else these days. Let me share my little experience from yesterday.

I went for an interview somewhere in GRA, Ikeja. I was elated when I found out the interviewer was female. I knew it would be easier to leave an impression on her so I put my charms on 100%. After what seemed like forever, the interview was concluded and I was congratulated. Whilst making my way back, I discovered my phone was dead which was strange cause I was sure I still had some battery life left. I did what I could but it just wouldn't come on. I was pissed. So I got on a bike and got to the cantonment only for my wallet to disappear on me. I felt like my village people were getting a strong hold on me. Luckily for me, the bike guy is Hausa and he understood.
In my naivety, I was hoping I could hitch a ride to Opebi. I stood at the newly constructed bus stop at the military cantonment. In all, I approached three cars. Their replies were the same. (Check the meme below).

Just had to share this one.

I was going from Abj to PH, a friend just came into the country and we decided to leave for PH together. Ordinarily we would have taken a flight, but my friend had a lot of luggage and would be excess luggage to the tune of almost N100k or more so we decided to take a buss instead.

The bus didn't leave until 11am, around 10pm the bus got to somewhere around the east and the driver said he can't continue the journey and we should spend the night in an hotel. I asked the driver how far Owerri is from where we are and he said 30mins, I have a female friend in Owerri and I thought if I am going to spend the night out I best make it worthwhile.

So I helped my friend to an hotel, look a bus going to Owerri and jumped on it. We got to a place called "no man's land" and armed robbers attacked our bus, they threw a log in front of our bus, and the driver manage to escape by reversing in speed, we went back to a checkpoint, and the police fired some shots and asked us to continue that the robbers would have run away.

We finally got to Owerri but I dropped off at the wrong location from where my friend asked me to, I tried getting direction but seems no one I met speaks English, they were all speaking Igbo, I couldn't give my location to my friend, while there a police van approached me and told me where I am is very dangerous, looks I think is very important, cause based on my appearance they offered to keep me safe till my friend comes to pick me, they spoke with her on phone and told her where I am and she came to pick me up. Got to her place around 2am. And boy was it worth it!!!!

Biingoo:
WAS FUCKING THIS PRETTY GIRL I MET AT BADOO AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO CUM WHEN HER PHONE RANG . SHE PICKED WAS TOLD HER MUM WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE SCREAMED AND LEFT THE HOTEL HENCE LEAVING ME IN SUCH A TERRIBLE CONDITION. I WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT COZ MASTURBATION WASN'T AN OPTION FOR ME. SINCE THEN ONCE I CARRY ANY GIRL TO MY HOTEL ROOM, I ALWAYS REQUEST HER PHONE TO BE SWITCHED OFF TO AVOID STORIES THAT TOUCHES THE HEART

Earthbound:

The church should have been a sanctuary at the time. But then again, like I said, even the church security guard might not trust you enough. If Nigeria was a safe place, you could have hitchhicked with an interstate truck driver but Nigeria don too cast to dey do all those kind things.

PapiFlin:



oga reveal the details of 2 am onwards.....We won't take this half story

naijaboiy:
How about when you have taken all the erujeje and origin bitters expecting your babe to come over, then she disappoints you telling you she can't make it or she comes around but on her monthly stuff.

Does that count?

jauntty:
Yes ooo.�


Mehn that day was hell.

Bye Bye to Eko
