| Travel › Man Describes What Happened When He Prayed Traditional Prayer In A Bus by naptu2(op): 1:14pm On Mar 16, 2022 |
John Chukwuemeka Agbaeze @johnysky22 I once entered a bus from Enugu to Abuja, as always as the journey began, Christians in the bus asked the driver to turn down the music that they wanted to pray, he obliged. The prayers began in earnest, singing, praises, casting and binding etc, afterwards the journey continued.
I for one felt it was unfair for every passenger to be subjected to an involuntary not minding whether they were Christians or not. I decided to pay them back in their own coin.
We got to Flyer Over where these boys stand to hawk kola, I bought a piece then called out to the driver to tune down the music that I wanted to pray. He did and the whole bus fell silent. I began by invoking the ancestors, invoking ezechitoke, eze bu na agu, pouring out traditional prayers and supplications the best I could all the while breaking the kola
Gradually mood inside the bus began to change, hisses here and there, some audibly mumbling and I could swear some where countering the prayers with holy ghost fire. I did not flinch despite the disapproval, a guy behind me was more than happy to be responding, "Iseee!" to my prayers.
I spent nearly 10 minutes praying, stretching it for as long as I could afford and not break down laughing. After the prayers, the hisses and mumbles came like an applause. I gave kola to the guy behind me, offered to everyone around and they summarily ignored me. Some women even behaved like we were quarrelling, another man at the back of the bus clearly amused also took the kola.
After there was an awkward silence for minutes, only the sound of kola being chewed was heard. A woman broke the silence
"Bia nna a kedu ụdị nonsense bụ ihe a imere?" she asked.
"exactly ụdị nonsense gi wa mere too" I responded.
"How did you do this here knowing we don't practice this fetish nonsense with you?" she asked again.
"Exactly the same way you did yours without minding that not all of us practice the same fetish delusional nonsense with you" I replied. The whole bus mumbled, the guy behind laughed so hard, he was enjoying the exchange.
I ended up spending the next 10 minutes preaching about a lesson in hypocrisy, the usual bible preaching evangelical session we get in buses just me preaching about hypocrisy and how even Jesus abhorred hypocrisy.
Goes without saying that we had a rather awkward journey until after Lokoja before people started to unwind more. Though the woman beside me rolled her eyes a lot at me and made sure there was at no point that her body would touch mine which I greatly appreciated. https://mobile.twitter.com/johnysky22/status/1503655403787370499Reactions.

This governor is a scam. Is this project not a Federal government road? Why is he trying to take the glory? Mikolo70:
Make i no lie.. Buhari try for South West. BAT 2023! TOPCRUISE:
This is a federal road. Why is Dapo Abiodun claiming the project naptu2:
The Ijebu-Epe Expressway is meant to serve as a means of decongesting the new Lekki Industrial Area. A lot of large facilities are being built in Ibeju-Lekki, which is quite close to Epe and the Ijebu-Epe Expressway will be the route through which goods and people are moved from these facilities into the hinterland of Nigeria. Here are some of the facilities that are being built in Ibeju Lekki.
1) Dangote Refinery: The Dangote Refinery will be the largest single train refinery in the world. Petroleum products from that refinery will have to be moved to all parts of Nigeria and the Ijebu-Epe Expressway is one of the routes through which this will happen.
2) Dangote Fertilizer Company.
3) Lekki Deep Sea Port: Imported goods will need to be moved from the port to the hinterland of Nigeria and goods for export will need to be moved in the opposite direction. That expressway is one of the routes through which this will happen.
4) Lekki Airport: Goods and people will need to be moved to the airport and vice versa.
5) Lagos Free Zone and Lekki Free Zone: A lot of major factories are being built in the free trade zones and workers, raw materials and finished goods will need to be moved to and from those factories.
Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos State reconstructed the Lagos end of the expressway and Governor Dapo Abiodun has now reconstructed the Ogun end of the expressway via a public-private partnership (PPP).
The Ondo State Government has also said that it will build an expressway from Ondo to Ibeju Lekki, in order to take advantage of the developments there.
Furthermore, I saw an old plan for the Lagos-Calabar railway and it had a spur that ran via the Ijebu-Epe Expressway to the Lekki Port. This interchange was built by the Ogun State Government to connect the Ibeju-Lekki - Epe - Ijebu Expressway to the Lagos - Sagamu - Benin Expressway. |
