As I write this, I'm not just pained but I'd like this post to be shared till it reaches their management or whoever cares to take responsibility for their actions.

I can't imagine that this transport company is celebrating 25 years of excellence in road transport and more than 30 persons were left aggrieved by their commissions and omissions on Saturday, 22nd December.

This is my first time of using ABC transport company (and it will definitely be the last). I was scheduled to leave Lagos for Uyo by 7am. At 4am, I was awake so I could prepare to reach the park very early. I got to the park about few minutes before 6am.

By 7am, there was no bus in sight. I gave them the benefit of doubt and waited for 30 more minutes. That 30 minutes turned into one hour and even more. While waiting, I decided to stroll down the road, only to discover that a bus was being fixed at 9am, the same bus scheduled to go on the journey. The annoying part is that there was no single staff in sight to even apologize or give a situation report. Some passengers started requesting for a refund. I really wished I asked for a refund but it was already Past 9 and I wasn't exactly sure that I'd find another bus to Uyo.

A bus finally came around 9.30am and that was when these guys found it necessary to wash their bus? I could not just understand. Passengers were waiting and instead of loading the vehicle already, they were interested in washing the bus. Well they finally got us into the vehicle by 9:35am, to my amazement.

It was 9:50am, after about 15 minutes of waiting for the driver inside an extremely uncomfortable and hot bus, I quickly called one of the staff to inquire about the driver's whereabouts and he told me the driver was resting, that he had retired by 4am of that morning.

Who does that? Is it that the drivers don't run shifts here? Why would they allow someone who had had no rest from the previous journey to undertake another long journey, I could imagine the driver would travel back to Lagos on Sunday too. I was appalled.

We finally left Ajah Park around 10am, THREE HOURS AFTER THE SCHEDULED TIME

We got to Benin around 4pm and when the driver stopped again, we realised he was there to get a spare tyre. What sort of transport company travels such long distance without a spare tyre? After about 30 minutes of waiting for a spare tyre, we were greeted with news from the driver that there was no spare tyre in Benin, that we would have to make another stop at Onitsha.

The driver did not even help matters. He was approbative and reprobative at the same time. One minute he is apologizing, another minute he is stressing that the fault is from the management, that we should direct our complaints to the management.

At that point, I could not take it anymore, I walked up to the office that seemed like the management and demanded an explanation from the men I saw there. While there, I overheard the driver complaining about the fact that passengers were insulting him.
It was funny how the solution to the management was to apologize to the driver instead of the 10 passengers who were waiting in the bus.

We left Benin with the same state of tyre as before we got there, with a desperate hope to get to Onitsha without any hitch.

By 7.40pm, after hours in traffic, we finally got to Onitsha, the same Onitsha that arrangements had supposedly been made for a spare tyre to be brought to us -or so we thought; the inconsiderate fellow, who I learnt was the manager of the terminal, refused to pick calls over three hours, and finally told our driver to drive to the terminal (which was supposed to be a relief). Unfortunately, that implied us making a u-turn which would unavoidably take us through the same traffic we spent two hours in desperation. The whole thought was horrific.

By 8pm, the driver who had parked the car on one side of the road so as to cross over to the terminal came back to get tools from the bus. According to him, he was told by the manager to loosen the tyre from our bus to bring to the terminal before a spare would be given to him from wherever they had one. Worse, a passenger's phone almost got snatched through the window by a passer by.

But these people should have had the tyre ready long before now. How could the management be that inconsiderate, bearing in mind that we still had five (5) more hours at least, to journey to our destination.

We finally continued our journey by 8.35pm, imagine leaving Onitsha by this time.

We had thought we were having the worst of experiences till we got to Umuahia Bus terminal around 11.20pm so the driver would deliver some waybill packages he had on him, only to discover that one of the company's Calabar bound bus had left its passengers stranded, the driver had simply abandoned the bus and passengers without any word. I guess those passengers would have to spend the night at the park

We Finally got to the park in Uyo by 1.15am. I can only be thankful to God for journey mercies. The experience and exposure to danger itself is traumatic.

Hmmmm. May peace reign in Jos, Amen

Mehn! That's massive

I hope paying a lawyer for the suit would not cost him more than 35,000 naira.

Reasonable response

wow. interesting

dingbang:
At least I am not seeing people holding phones to snap or record.. They are putting hands together to rescue the victims...


Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria..

But someone snapped the picture above na

what are you saying in summary? I'm trying to reason with you so I've got to understand you

Is that gutter?

This is serious and pathetic

THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

I looked into the church building
Into the magnificent structures
The great Walls and beautiful design
The colourful paints and fine pews
The "exalted" platforms and podiums
But....
I couldn't find the church

A-ha! The church has left the building.
Why are you so concerned
With the state of the building
When the church has left the building?

Perhaps what interests you more
Is that people invest into the building
To keep it in good shape
But the church has left the building

You drive away people from the building
With messages of condemnation and doom
You judge them based on their appearance
You kill them before they have the opportunity to live
All because of the rules guiding the building
Whereas the church has left the building

Yet again, you could ask
Is the building not for the church?
Of course the building could be for the church
But beyond the building is "the Church"

Listen!
The church is no more comfortable with the building
In Acts where it all began
The building was not the major concentration
The focus was on building the church
Not on building a building for the church

You know why the church has left the building?
The building cannot contain the church anymore
The mission statement of the church
Is so great to be confined to a building

The church is not the building
The building is not the church
The church is the body
The body of Christ
I am the church, You are the church

Let's leave the building
Go into the world
Make disciples in all the nations
The world needs the church
The street needs the church
The ghetto needs the church
The "club" needs the church
Houses on the streets need the church
Families need the church
Those in prison need the church
Wandering little children need the church
That unbeliever needs the church

If all of the above would not go to the Church,
The church must leave the building and go to them
And teach them CHRIST

With gladness we shall come back into the building
And continue steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine
With great Joy and Happiness!

It's Grace Kalu saying that
THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!
