Today, I was hit by an epiphany... I normally drive around in a toyota camry (2002 model). Though somewhat old, it gets me from point A to point B, I use it for school runs, grocery runs and for work. So, today, my elder sister used the car to go get some stuff and I had to run some urgent errands for My mum. I had to use her car, a toyota highlander (2015 model). On driving for some minutes, I was slamming some cool jams on the stereo, I realized that my mum's car was actually better, controls and all; the steering wheel turned smoother, the brakes worked better, the car accelerated smoother. It was then it dawned on me that her car was all round better than mine, that driving wasn't just about moving from point A to point B. I would not have come to the conclusion if I had not driven her car (which I was somehow skeptical about driving at first). That exactly is how those who have been in Nigeria all their lives will never know how a sane society works, how stuff are meant to be. We are so used to the fvckery in nigeria that we see it as a way of life, we have gotten so used to suffering and smiling. We have been so used by our leaders, go to politics section, you'd see our youths taking sides and defending these same persons who are robbing us blind, the same people who have sworn never to relinquish power, who have sworn to keep nigeria in this undeveloped and backward state. Go to romance section, my mates are posting all over social media, making noise about bbn, "teamefe! teamtboss!" they cry, I shake my head in pity. My brothers and sisters, try as much as you can to leave nigeria, hustle for a tourist visa and visit a first world country, only then would you realize how messed up nigeria is. only then will you appreciate the difference between a Camry tiny light and a Bugatti Veyron. 86 Likes 14 Shares |

alfonso36:I have you in mind bro. But my first "shipping" wasn't all that successful. I couldn't even sell the rest of the items, my cousins whisked them all away. I won't relent though, I know how much money can be made from this venture, once I find a better way, me and you go reason. 4 Likes 1 Share |

So, I turned on my indicator, looked for a spot by the side of the road and pulled over. I wound down, turned off my vehicle and waited. The police vehicle pulled over behind mine. After some minutes, he came down and walked over to mine. Here's the conversation that ensued: Police: good day, can I see your license and vehicle insurance? ** I presented my license to him. He took a glance, told to me wait a moment, and walked back to his vehicle. After like 2 minutes, he came back, handed me my license and asked me whether I knew why he pulled me over. I said I did not. He then pointed out that I was driving without my headlight on. Apparently, its against the law to drive without your headlight on when its raining. He then advised me to always turn it on while driving during foggy conditions and also to print out my insurance papers and keep in the vehicle. He then told me to have a nice day. I had to even ask him, "I'm good?" He gave a little nod and walked back to his car. The whole episode lasted less than 10 minutes, but it seemed like an eternity to me. 54 Likes |

Next thing, the police man veered onto my lane and was two cars behind me, he then overtook the car directly behind me and was now directly behind my vehicle. He then turned on his lights. my heart started pounding. https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/nrvs.gif The rule here is, once a police vehicle directly behind you starts flashing its red and blue lights, "trafficate" and pull over 22 Likes |

Yesterday was a wet day. I was supposed to drop my younger siblings in school at about 12:00 pm. So, after doing the necessary house chores and all, we got set to leave. Their school is like 20mins drive from the house. Did I mention earlier? my younger sis is studying Pharmacy, while my bro is studying Nursing. I dey drive jejely o, dey mind my business. After like 15 mins, we arrived at our destination, I dropped them off and started heading home. Like I mentioned earlier, it was drizzling lightly, so I was minding my speed so as to avoid skidding. The rain had started increased in intensity, so visibility was getting poorer. On getting to a traffic light, it showed red. But here in the US, you can make a right turn if you stop and check if a car is coming from the opposite direction even if the light shows red. As I turned onto the road and had started accelerating slowly, I noticed a police car materialize from thin air I checked my speedometer, I wasn't overspeeding, I checked seat belt, I had put it on earlier. Surely, no be me the guy wan pull over  11 Likes 2 Shares |
