Ever travelled a long distance with a corpse without knowing it?

In September, I embarked on what I thought would be a routine road trip from Lagos to Osun State. I had no idea it would become one of the most haunting journeys of my life.

I have always preferred the front seat whenever I travel. Not for comfort, but for conversation. I enjoy interacting with drivers, sharing stories, and keeping the journey lively. That preference changed forever on that trip.

I arrived at the park late. The Sienna bus was almost full, with only one space left at the back seat. Seated there already was a young man and his visibly ill mother. Other passengers had avoided the seat, clearly uncomfortable with her condition.

I couldn’t tell exactly what she was suffering from, but it was obvious she was very sick. Her son kept fanning her repeatedly. She was sweating profusely—far more than I had ever seen in a sick person before—like someone working under the scorching sun at a construction site.

I was the final passenger needed for the bus to move. As I sat beside them, I sighed inwardly and told myself this would not be an easy journey. I had no choice; waiting for another vehicle was not an option.

After the driver settled with the loaders and park officials, we set off.

The odour was difficult to endure, but I managed without a nose mask. I volunteered to lead the opening prayer, praying for a safe journey and also for the sick woman.

Somewhere around Ibadan, while we were still heading towards Osun State, the woman quietly passed away.

Her son didn’t notice immediately.

I did.

I leaned towards him and gently asked if he was a Christian. He nodded. I held his hands and prayed with him—prayers for the sick, and for departed souls. When I finished, I whispered softly, “I’m sorry, brother… your mum is no longer with us.”

He lifted her hand, shook her gently, and looked at me in shock.
“How did you know?” he asked.

I cautioned him not to shout. This was a public vehicle. I explained that she had passed just moments earlier and urged him to remain calm. I told him not to make any phone calls, to keep his phone on silent, and to only send text messages if he needed to inform relatives.

“This is the day you must be strong,” I told him. “This journey must not become harder than it already is.”

Through tears, he asked, “What about the driver?”

I assured him not to worry. I told him I would find a way to inform the driver discreetly. I advised him to reposition his mother carefully and continue fanning her so no one would suspect anything.

When the driver eventually stopped after I requested to urinate, I quietly pulled him aside. I explained calmly that the woman at the back seat had passed on and warned him not to turn around or draw attention.

The driver understood immediately. Acting naturally, he stepped into the bush as if to relieve himself, plucked a leaf, and discreetly placed it at the back of the vehicle—a silent signal and a moment of composure.

The journey continued.

The driver played worship songs all the way to Ile-Ife. No passenger suspected that one of us would not complete the journey alive.

When we finally arrived, I helped the young man with his belongings, offered what support I could, and quietly went my way.

It was a journey I will never forget.

If you were one of the passengers on that vehicle, I am truly sorry. Everything that was done was simply to make things easier for a helpless son in the most painful moment of his life.

Hackman1994:
Omo I don tire for this country.
Cant he just learn from 2015 APC strategy.

Because Obi stands for
1. a new Nigeria and
2. with him
3. and through him
4. a new Nigeria is possible.
5 Obi is not desperate.
6. Obi cannot afford to betray the teaming youths from all walks of life, tribe, religion, and culture etc.

This is a posture they take when they are about to terrorize the house for mummy

Still waiting for the breaking news when other ministers in Buhari regime to be called up by the efcc, including the one that promised 24 hours uninterrupted power supply not until few years after the opportunity presented itself for him to prove his it matters entered cho-cho cho blames upon blames and excuses that full the whole of Dangote trailers.

After all the huge spending baba still dey walk the street a free man, this invitation must reach all Buhari ministers

Even if I don't understand English I can see the photo talk besides that's not the only point I raised or are you blind to see my submissions?

Marvieduke:
Seems you don't know how to read and understand English, I said he was WRAPPING and not smoking......

This is very bad for people's role model to openly act the way he did, like the OP emphasized he should have hold it off till the end than this open display of unruly display.
But OP how did you know it is colos? you are exaggerating it and actually misleading his teaming inexperienced young fans to believe it is actually colos, you are promoting this deadly substance called colos as I believe any handmade smokable substance is molded same way, what if it is weed?
Colos I believe is the worst of all, me thing you have beef to settle with Zubby or your prolly trying to blackmail him, who knows you maybe from Nollywood where bad belle people full everywhere.

how much sir.. I love the first pic

The shop owner will be like, oga do joor and wake up oo
you must pay!

This one will learn the truth the hard way

The empty brained grandpa is using reverse psychology to gaslight, one wonders between a thief and the victim he stole from who deserves forgiveness.

Oshiomhole is more than a noisemaker no body takes him serious again

He has tested WORSE and WORST!! and now comparing it with Jonathan's BAD, can't you see? besides your point is baseless as your Tinubu promised to do better and that's what matters and that's also the bases of his ranting. I'm not Galadima supporter got that.

Eminent2025:
This man that is now being vocal was mute during Buhari's terrible Era. The politics of tribalism and religion is what made this country like this. Despite the rate Johnathan Build schools,Roads and other infrastructure in the North and abondon the South including his state, he was rigged out for Not being a Northerner and a Muslim.

This one now suddenly found his voice because a Southerner is there

This is in preparation for 2027 so that they could fool some stupid Southerners to support another Northerner probably Atiku

I can only take this people serious when all of them support another Southerner for 2027

not all the security operatives are blind and illiterate like some miscreants on here celebrating mediocrity, the illiterate blind praise singers who are actively facilitating their own destruction. The educated ones among them have since smelt the coffee and unfollow themselves sharp. This is why I love a section of the country where no one gives a fvck about your tribe, just do the job well.
Case close

This is in reaction to Gumi evil denial and tacit support for his kinsmen before as it has dawn on the sensible leaders to take proactive action here and now before the wild beasts that look like human convert the opportunity to man taquai and strike.

The disrespect and insult had always been there it's just that you chose to look the other way maybe because you were not the one directly involved or out of love.

Everyone has a down-time, we fall to rise so no biggy..
Tough time made tough men bro.. hustle smart hustle shamelessly.

DomPerignon:
Who.and what did we steal from you?

what do you mean by "we" and who?
if your asking about Biafra history get in touch the elders learn

Op you are quick to point out root in foreign land (Gaza) what about the scamming Nigeria unleashed on the Biafrans? Stolen wealth and properties.

You maybe right though, but in my case one pastor was there to fire prayers before I finally moved in, lemme give a mental picture of the compound in-case it matters and to learn from those who understand spirituality to comment on.

The bungalow where I occupied was right behind the main building/mansion that was uncompleted for years and remained so throughout my stay there. I don't know if it has any spiritual implications as well.

Wetin my eyes see there I don't pray for my worst enemy if any.

AOresources:
Hello sir, I can boldly say that its not a coincidence.. There are houses that some landlord uses their tenants glory..this we have seen!

When you want to enter a new rented house, normally you are suppose to carry out some checks to know if the house is clean

That's your problem, I said what I said

VillagePipu:
A 2014 car is not brand new.
Used abroad is tokunbo, not brand new.

A 2014 car is now 11 years old. 7 more years and it can vote.

This is exactly my experience bro, I moved into a particular place I don't wish to mention it's location and lost my car and office the other branch was performing poorly, hunger nearly wiped a whole family off and finally were disgraced (so I thought) out of the house. This a place I paid 2 years upfront oo to assist in completing the building (Bungalow).

But now I have a 2014 Toyota brand bought brand new, which I wish to lunch for Christmas by next week packed at a friend's hotel for the past 1 month now cos I want to surprise madam. Note that in less that 7 months since I moved into my current place the near dead branch office all of a sudden picked and other business activities picked also.

Maybe it is a coincidence or fait... I don't know

It is a known fact that the Igbos are now made a scape goat for almost every tribe in Nigeria, these guys cannot do without the mentioning Igbo their real masters who don't give fvcks about what anyone do or say.

This is salvage manifestation of yoruba Ibadan express media provocative manipulations in an attempt to scapegoat the Igbos in all the maladministration and woes of this country, one wonders if Obi is actually the seating president or is 2023 election campaign is still ongoing. Everyday Igbo this Igbo that is just too much but one thing is sure YOU CAN NOT INTIMIDATE THE IGBOs. IGBOs stand strong and powerful in the face of all these unwarranted provocations.

The truth is the United States of America have their ears and eyes on Nigeria for a long time, the difference now is they have a willing Guy ready to act on long accumulated data in their files. Trump has decided to act now and let no terrorist supporters and sympathizers thing they can fool Americas.

TRUMP IS COMING

This is not a classroom were everyone is restricted to question and answer, besides in objective questions such as this, answers like this are accepted since they are in line with the subject (Southeast & economy) what gibberish are you yapping in the name of countering an obvious fact. even if he drops two pages statistics/data it can never be enough for critics. It doesn't matter which part you are from. As for me I enjoyed his writeups.
reaseon; it opens doors for researchers to explore.

ImpartialGuy:
This is how people fail exams and blame their lecturers for it. How did this lengthy thing answer her question?

Questions like this are answered with stas and numbers because data doesn't lie. It has nothing to do with the civil war stories.

BTW, I understand that many Igbos carry a lot of hurt due to the civil war. However, you must learn to question everything you were told.

If NNPC refused to drill crude oil in Imo and Abia to keep the South East economy unproductive, why is the same NNPC investing millions of dollars in a JV with Seplat to build the biggest gas company in Nigeria, ANOH Gas plant, in Imo State?

By the way, I am a proud Igbo guy, but questions like this should be answered with 13% derivative sharing formula data to show states whose petrollars are used to feed the entire country.

I am not Yoruba but let's be guided in our comments here, the truth is Yoruba majority want Trump to come and do the job but a handful paid urchins with multiple NL and SM accounts create a lot of trouble for the true yerobas. Urchin can supports anything irrespective so long as money is involved no matter how small, urchins create and excel in crises situations else no show for them. Majority Yorubas voted against this druggy in their various states because they know Tinubu is a political jobber without human conscience, the agbero chairman whose love for propaganda is legendry.

I say make I update your brainbox

This is no news excerpt it's coming from one of them this time around, yeroba asslicking the North is too gayish and nauseating. why is Ibadan express was newspaper? yeroba journalist of propaganda specialist, their paid online bots, the rinhos, bwala, the old fo.ol presidential spokesman etc. where have they gone to why is no one talking about the coup but all of a sudden BOOM!! they found their propaganda and Igbo hate filled voices to push a malicious narrative how it is IPOB, and Obi lies that attract international attention to the glaring terrorism going on in Nigeria.

The presidency now justifies killing in Nigeria, how it is ok to kill people that the killers kill both Christians and Muslims IMAGIN THAT! If Nigeria implode there will be a humanitarian disaster like never before in the whole world and smart west would't take that.

Love him or hate him..Trump is coming!!

Blame no one because no one voted him, he is a product of eyeneck and supreme court presido

brain54:
Tibunu should just resign...


But I blame Nigerians for putting him there. Not the druggie himself.


The real clowns are those that voted him "emilokun", "jagaban" and other such chants-that are now feeling disgraced and embarrassed.

Shame on you that voted along ethnic lines and not because he had any thing to offer. The real joke and disgrace is on you!

Jokay07:
From Amawbia to Uga?
Wow.
I knw traffic in Ekwulobia was something else.
Usually if I wanted to travel to Oko, I used to follow Nibo route. The road is good and clean. Sometimes I can follow Mbaukwu.
Don't worry, you might not know those places. I can lost you in the whole of Anambra oo
Yea. I remember some section of the road was initially dualized around agulu lake but it didn't extend to Nanka.

Coming from a traveled yoruba person, it's a sweet melody in my ear. unlike no leave no transfer yoruba folks here who are filled with envy and hate polluting the social media with their ignorance and whatnot of this peaceful tribe they hate and gaslight due to cultural differences etc.

The earlier you lot understand that culture and tradition contribute in shapeing people from different walk of life the better. Lion connot behave like a goat to please the goat.. Damn!!

If it's in Nija detention na dirty boxer or pant them go wear with oil face and hungry looking frail men

Politicking and politics of lies and confusion is all this Tinibu and his goons knows better but lacks gravely without any hope at the area of leadership instead they are smart playing politics and diverting attentions. Tinubu keeps breaking records of new lows, never has there been a government like this that failed among others to hold independence anniversary due to shame and embarrassment they dubiously avoided for fear of empty field. And now they are trying to cover up with this dramatic line just to confused and cover-up.

Markets all over the country witnessed strike like situation on independence day, the roads were so deserted that one began to wonder where everyone had ran to. It still beats my imagination as to what the defecting governors are doing, only God knows the kind of rigging threats they might have got since judiciary and INEC is in the pocket plus the severely abused federal might.

I wonder what will become of Nigeria after Tinubu as baba does not rule like someone who would want to hand over power, theses men's body language is such that suggests that there might be no more one Nigeria after them because I don't know the kind of country they will hand over to the next guy. Everything JAGAJAGA

Well I'm not surprised the OP came up with this because great mind thinks alike, this is well articulated just like every other reasonable individual can observe. I wonder what will become of this country after Tinubu's administration. Like Babangida that introduced ill into the system that's still have a damaging effect on the system what would one now say after Tinubu.

Tinubu is more a socialite than a leader, he thrived on the Chicago streets for the same reason (a gang star) that can offer you anything to have his way. His likes a better off as king makers than king himself and now he just happened to Nigeria. He is no gentle man, his strategies are criminally organised chess game.

Wetin concern agbero with overload (the cries of the masses) they don't even have conscience to reason humanly talk less of showing affection that never existed in them. A quick look at the characters he's surrounded with will give you a grimps of who he actually is, his administration is like a cult where the badder you become the better. Now Nigeria just entered the real zoo.

Op you have not said anything yet, until you release the full koko what you put up there ain't reasonable enough to act upon.

In drunken power frenzy and intoxicant, Wike the lizard thought his self to be God like biblical Nebuchadnezzar and God turned him to animal and made him to chew grass like an animal he has become.
Cry me a river (without state) Mr. Wike, your time to dance naked in the market square has come, which of the enemies are you talking about? the enemies from River state, Edo, FCT those you bullied and took over their assets or the PDP, your political enemies from all states in Nigeria etc etc. you have made yourself too many enemies.

You have a case to answer in US where you build no houses for the judges nor bought vehicles for the police.. Wahala!

Heaven will not fall is your trademark

THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE MURDERED DISPACHED RIDER AND A TEACHING FOR THE LIVING!!
The dispatch rider allowed his self to be murdered in cold blood, may his soul RIP. if at the first attempt to hit him was met with stiff resistance the weak tout will not attempt a second punch. People should learn self-defense before their case is escalated to street jungle, two fighting or three fighting one man can never quickly escalate instead people will gather, watch the fight then they either separate the fight or take sides.
Just one punch and you hit whoever back with naked brutality will confuse the street watching the show, even when you are guilty as charged, it will save your life.

Make sure that the first man to throw a punch at you is brutally dealt with and never succumb to "oga abeg" las las na police station but your life will be saved, if you are a weak and nice man, please by all means avoid trouble and save your life.

Just be ready to fight back whether guilty or not guilty.

TELL THIS TO YOUR SONS!!
