Jokes EtcThe Bus Stop by LarryVercetti(op): 4:58pm On Aug 10, 2014
I happened to be traveling from Oyo back to my place
some weeks ago and was at the bus stop, waiting for the
bus to get fully loaded so that I might be on my way.
During my time there, waiting for ten (10) other
passengers to take their seats, I had lots of encounters
and experiences to recount. I could group these
encounters by the persons that brought about them and
into the following categories..





1. The Hawkers
We are all familiar with these people. They’ll bring all sorts
of wares to you and start sweet-mouthing you and sugar-
coating them so that you’ll just purchase at least a thing
from them. They will cling to you like Hausa perfume
(forgive me) and never stop advertising in your ears like
mosquitoes (forgive me, again) even after you’ve asked
them to stop. They sell ranging from ‘pure water’, plantain
chips, perfume, drinks and all. I was even surprised when I
saw one trying to make me buy his ‘suya’.. Imagine, suya
on a hot afternoon? That man must be silently praying for
my death in some parts of his heart.
The thing with the hawkers is, there is no monopoly when
it comes to a certain ware. There would be like five people
selling a particular thing and all would want you to buy
from them. Just too tough a decision to make. You’ll
scream for “Popcorn” then twenty of popcorn sellers
would come. You’ll buy from one and others would start
holding you ransom with the talks of “Oga I came here first
na”, “Shey you wee not buy from me also ni”, “Oga shey I
should bring some?” . Man gats get strong mind. These
people can sway you.






2. ‘The Tax Collectors’
I didn’t want to sound so rude. These are those that’ll
come to you and start praying prayers that even your
grandma has never prayed for you before. They’ll pray so
much, you’ll think that they are Bishops or Popes. You all
like to call them beggars, I call them what you see above.
They’ll linger over you for some minutes and if you’re
unresponsive, my dear, they’ll move on. No Time. You’re
bad for business niyen.
Some of them, and I mean those that sing that “Babiyanla”
song, don’t even know their real talents. Their voice, even
without beat, is sweeter than that of Wizkid and Davido
combined. Their acapella is the best mehn. Sometimes
(God forgive me), I wait for them to sing this sweet music
to my ears for a time before I bless them with the little the
good LORD has blessed me also with (Somebody say
Halleluyah). All they need is a good producer. Omo, they’ll
go International.
Sometimes I pity them. Other times I don’t. Depends on
my mood. Depends on whether my bladder is full or not.
And it depends on my pocket. I won’t pay ‘tax’ and forget
to pay my bus fares. Those drivers would use my face for
slapping practice.
Let’s move on.






3. The Gentle Passengers.
I’m scared of these ones the most. They’ll just be looking
forward like they’re seeing into the future. They’ll never
laugh at jokes nor turn sideways to even look at the person
beside them. I even sometimes try to stylishly look at them
up and down to establish that they’re not carrying a bomb
or anything (I’m too young to die jare). The ones that scare
me most here are those that’ll now be pressing their
phones all through. Even when the car starts to
somersault, they’ll still be with the phone. They’ll do things
like zombies. They won’t sleep throughout the journey,
they’ll be looking like the second born of Mama Fish. I’m
tired of them already.








4. The Talkative Passengers.
These types are the worst kind of people on earth. You
won’t ask them question, and they’ll start talking. They’ll
make you wish human beings came with a “Mute
Function”. Before the 3-hour ride is over, you can basically
tell where they live, the year they got married, number of
kids, home address, ATM PIN (I lied), and even phone
number. They just can’t stop talking. Maybe they weren’t
created with the special ‘machine’ that enables shutting up
when necessary. Maybe. But there’s an upside – They’ll
always make you laugh.








5. The Drivers.
These ones are the craziest. You’ll see some, gentle at face,
but when they speak, you’ll think Godzilla speaks through
them. You won’t even be able to count the teeth of some.
Some would have got their teeth equaled to their
complexion, blackened by cigar. They’ll stay at the back,
drinking and smoking while the bus gets loaded, ordering
the conductor back and forth and be feeling like Aburo
Dangote, owner of the “Danfo Industry”. I just look at
them and I shake my head. Then they mount the vehicle
and settle behind the steering like driving is some super
power then start to punish the road from their drinkings.
The funniest thing about them is that nearly all, if not all, of
them have nicknames. Like, ‘Opebe’, ‘Obeke’, ‘Ejo
Gbongbonran’, ‘Otalantolo’, ‘Small’, ‘Agbara’, ‘Itu’, “Ekute’.
Sometimes I wonder if they got to choose those
nicknames themselves or if it was forced on them. If they
chose it themselves, then I believe the cigar is blackening
something more important than their teeth.








6. The Insulters.
Eewo.. I can hear some of you say that. I always pray three
prayers before entering a bus. “Lord, don’t let the road use
me for lunch”, “Lord, don’t let a big car jam us”, “Lord, don’t
let me sit beside an insulter”. See, if you sit beside them,
pray again not to get in their trouble. You’ll cry for the rest
of the journey, I promise you. Even my driver wey dey
form James Bond cried when this mama finished with him,
so who are you not to cry? Ehn, tell me.
They’ll carefully analyze you. They’ll tell you all what has
been the problems in your family. They’ll tell you how your
tie looks like a cutlass. They’ll remind you that your
forehead would have made a better drawing board back in
primary school. In short, they’ll make your eyes start
competing with Ikogosi Warm Spring on which one can
bring forth the most water. By the time they’re over with
you, the whole bus would have been flooded with your
tears. Even others would cry for you, aswear.
So again, I beg you, identify them and don’t get them
angry.







I believe I’ve enlightened you enough. Feel free to add
others in the comment section. For now, bye.
Once again, Bonsoir (I don’t really know what that means)

CHAPTER II
*****************************************
Everyone went to their various houses, cleaned up, changed
their set of teeth and came back to the meeting area (I lifted
some weight myself *wink*. Did I hear the ladies say ‘oooh’).
Anyways, when we got back, the headrat summoned us all
once again and silence fell upon us.
“Welcome, does and gentlerats, welcome. Today will be a
great day in all our lives. The human race has tried all their
possible best to eradicate us, but all to no avail. Their fore-
fathers used ‘panpe’, catapults and even guns to stop us, but
still, we didn’t die. The ‘War Against Ekute’ group also came
up, making ‘soole’ and ‘gbeku’, yet we didn’t budge. Tonight,
we conquer them. Tonight, we give them a taste of their own
bitter medicine. Tonight, we eat all they’ve prepared. Never
fear, vermins, vicccctory, is ours!!”
The whole rat population gave shouts of joy at this sweet-
mouthed motivation. We were very happy. The last time we
were this happy was when Nigeria nearly won a match like
that, before Yakubu missed the goal (Did I mention that we
ate his jersey in revenge?) and when Skelewu was released
(although we do not know what the song is about). We were
all very ecstatic about the feeding session of that night. The
stores had also been made ready for extra food.
“That’s enough”, the headrat said heartily, after some minutes
of joy, “let the master strategist give us our modus operandi”
In case I forgot to mention, we also have professionals among
the rats. The master strategist for all operations we go for is
Mr. Ratata (you know that name that R2Bees always call
now). The rat mounted the podium with a big map in hand,
spectacle resting on his scrawny little pink yellow nose, his
stupid shaky legs holding the floor and his devil eyes set upon
us all (don’t mind the description. He cheated me to get the
job). He laid the big map in his hand on the wall for all to
see, and began explanations.
“Right here, here and here are the main entrances to the suite,
but only here and here have direct links to the kitchen.
Observers (by observers, he means Linda Ikeji’s Blog) have
said that the chefs perform routine walks to this entrance, and
so have reason to believe its the toilet area. From that point,
we proceed to a giant cabbage crate. There, we lay in wait for
the chefs to all go out and serve”
Everyone hailed Ratata’s plan, everyone except me(I’m still
angry at the dude. I could crush his balls). Shawty, a female,
sexy and hot rat, raised a question after the noise died down.
“Mr. Ratatzy (she seduces everyone with a nickname. That
she-devil!), any downside to this plan?”. Ratata melted at this
and I noticed some activity in the shameless thing’s groins as
he replied,”I’m afraid the answer is yes. I must warn you, that
the new Skelewu song and the shameless songs by Tonto Dike
will be highly hazardours to our healths. You all remember
the ‘Alanta Fever Season’ when our brothers took it too far by
setting themselves on fire. We might be looking at another
Skelewu Fever. So be careful, when you hear the song, block
out your ears. And might I add, the First Lady is capable of
spewing bombs from her mouth, grammar-wise. Do not stay
near her when she’s about to speak”. At this, even I was
envious of the job well done by this strategist.
He left the podium amidst claps and the headrat once again
mounted to give us the closing prayer, so that we might begin
the attack.
“O ye gods of the vermins! We, thine be-teethed servants
have come before ye once again, give us the stomach to hold
the food of the sapiens, give our teeth the extra power to chew
the food, give our legs the same power ye gave Guy
Dangerous to escape any predators, and bring us back here
into our cave from where we can always come to listen and
groove to the song thine son, David O, just released. Let the
attack begin”. At this, we all hooted and ran out of the cave,
headed under the grassess and cover of darkness to the
Intercontinental Suites.
Just tell me, what do you think would happen next? Gotta go,
I think Larry’s coming. Stay connected for Chapter III. Don’t
forget to comment.

[b][/b][b][/b]RATS NIGHT OUT -- CHAPTER 1
{Hello, I know it may shock you to find out that a rat
wrote this blogpost. I’ve been genetically engineered,
scientifically modified, biologically disposed, personally —
erm, you get the idea already. Lemme share an experience
with you before the owner of this blog catches me on his
dashboard}
*sips Larry’s wine* *puts ‘Skelewu’ on
repeat******************************************
The room was filled to the brim with our species of different
kinds and from different walks of life («– by that, I mean the
animal kingdom). The white rats, the ‘ewuju’, ‘ekute’, ‘emo’,
brown rats, black rats et al were all present. The room was
also stuffy. There was noise everywhere, murmurs, cries of
the ratlings and also foul odour everywhere (I know the white
rats with big anal cavities can’t be trusted on that).
Everyone also shared a common trait in there — hunger. Its
been months since anyone of us went out to feed since ‘The
Battle of the Chefs’, which took place at Sweet Sensation,
when we lost some of our brothers to the merciless humans
with white hats in a clean kitchen («- kitchen or arsenal?)
The head of the colony had imposed strict rules that no one
must leave the pack since then, for fear of losing others, since
a new potent killer known as ‘ota pia pia’ has been invented
by the ‘Federal Ministry For Rats Annihilation Programme’.
Whew! The war humans wage against us though.
Tonight, we all received messages on our BlackBerry
smartphones (yeah, Blackberry. You never thought we rats
had swaggs abi?) and the rest who didn’t have got a ping on
their torchlight-nokias. We were all summoned to a meeting
where we were going to decide our fate by the head of the
clan (the shameless leader ate my dead grandpa. I’ll never
forgive him).
“O ye does and gentlerats”, the rat leader paused for silence to
dwell, “I have summoned ye all here today to express thine
minds concerning the issue on ground, so that we may proffer
a lasting solution” (you think he speaks good English? You
better go look for your KJV bible. He stole it!!!)
Everyone gave him their rapt attention now. Mouths had
started salivating and stomachs rumbling. Their days of
hunger-spells and eating of family members (oops! I wasn’t
supposed to tell you guys that) were about to come to an end.
The much desired effect had dawned on the congregation and
the beard of the head-mouse twitched at that. Something
mischievous was about to come out of those lips, I know.
“So I have decided” he began. This generated murmurs from
the congregation. This wasn’t the first time the headrat would
do this. He would ask for opinions on things he was already
decided on. “That tonight”, he continued, without minding the
murmurs, “we attack the Intercontinental Suites. There is a
presidential party going on there, and guess what that means?
Yeah, you guessed right, lots of food for us”
At this, even those of us that were unhappy that he didn’t
inlclude us in his plans were happy. We all jumped and yelled
for joy. We were going to have the feeding session (naïve
humans call it infestation) of our lives. I looked in the
direction of the council of elders, their look didn’t show me
they wanted us to go, but the head had spoken. Each rat
returned to his own home, me to my own castle (I live in an
engineer’s cupboard *shines teeth*) and prepared for the
escapade, later in the night.
Thanks for reading. Don’t forget to comment and share. Stay
tuned for Chapter II
