By '73, Ikorodu Road was the only route out. We'd leave home like 5am and not be out of Lagos by noon.

I am of course exaggerating small, but we always arrived in my Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun well past 10pm. And no, we were not walking!

Ikorodu Road right through Lagos was a blessing and a wonderful playground while being built. And Lagos Ibadan Expressway made me my first what seemed like a million naira at the time. I sold 4 eggs for ₦1 and 50 kobo canned Coke at the tollgate, and damn the pain when kombi bus stopped on my foot.

And Ekene Dili Chukwu!

Those big buses were the worst to try to sell to! Hand will collect your stuff and it would disappear inside the big bus without payment!

And before anyone thinks it was only Chukwu, there were a few Allah buses too!

Life is in stages...

it's better to ride a bicycle then, than driving a car now.
