Avoid eating the night before your trip. Your last meal should be a light breakfast a day before.

This would help you stay for hours during your trip without feeling the urge to use the restroom.

Tell me you are joking, Naz. grin grin

It baffles me how people buy and eat in the bus when traveling,as if dem no chop before they comot for house. Some of dem go dey buy soteey d journey finish.
Let me narrate one terrible experience.
On my way to Kano far back,in a night bus,na so one woman began to vomit and vomit. Wetin happen? Dis woman bought a roasted 'chicken', for Benin when our bus got there, around 11pm.Meself dey see those 'chickens' as vultures o. Few minutes after our bus took off,na so d woman come dey complain to her neighbor say belle dey pain am. Before you know it,na so she come vomit full everywhere. She was fainting o. Na so people dey shout for d driver to stop and look for a hospital. For where? For midnight? D driver no even send anybody.
D woman for die inside the bus but for one aboki for bus wey drop one kind liquid substance in her mouth. Na so d vomiting come stop.

For me o, if e pass banana and groundnut,I no dey buy, even water,na sip I dey sip am until I reach my destination.

I have only been so pressed once in my life in a bus and that's when I had watery poo. This was during my NYSC.

I was shouting in pidgin "I wan shit, I wan shot". A whole luxurious bus stopped for night. Coming from Jos to Lagos

I was posted to Bauchi.

Most often, its when other passengers get down to do their business is when I do mine. I only wee.

I buy everything along the road especially fresh bread and boiled eggs. I overindulge myself whenever I travel.


You no see direct bus to bauchi from Lagos, so you took a bus to Jos and from there you took the one going to bauchi, right?

Offload everything in your stomach before travelling. If there's need to urinate while on transit, inform the driver.

Don't be shy to ask the driver to stop.

Back then during my nysc, na gala and coke I dey use hold my belle first at the park, when we get to Ibilo I go chop food. There’s a simple rule whenever you want to travel long distance by bus, don’t eat before you leave your house and try to use toilet or take flagyl , don’t drink too much water or drinks cos bus might not stop for you.

I didn't know that injections require one to eat first.

I'm hearing this for the first time... grin grin grin
Tallesty1:
My concern is a nurse injecting the patient assuming that he has eaten. Trust me, if it is those strong drug that is not administered unless one has eaten, that patient will not wake up. It is a death sentence. Drugs requirements differ; some require meal before ingestion, while others do not. In fact, eating before taking certain drugs is discouraged. Some physicians may opt to delay the drug's administration for a certain period.
See eehh, If you take a medication that requires food on an empty stomach and didn't experience any adverse effects, it doesn't necessarily mean that nothing happened. It's possible that you simply haven't noticed any immediate or significant effects. Give it time.

This becomes a problem when someone is involved in an accident, rendered unconscious, and then rushed to a hospital where a nurse administers treatment thinking the person has eaten cry cry cry cry cry

Why would you think that … being involved in an accident! ?
Plus a qualified nurse should not assume but work based on facts.

You no see direct bus to bauchi from Lagos, so you took a bus to Jos and from there you took the one going to bauchi, right?

Back in the late 90s, you travel from Bauchi to Jos which is an hour journey, normally in a Kombi buses

It was at Jos you now get a luxurious bus to Lagos.

Not all buses were luxurious. Some were just big buses. One could also travel with J5 buses. I took any of the 3 depending on how buoyant I was or what was readily available.

Lol. My dear, please don't be silly on a Sunday.

You just openly admitted that you INTENTIONALLY PROVOKE AND TROLL WOMEN. Then you want a pat on the back. Why don't you go provoke a military man on the expressway?

And your reward for these women is marriage. Same marriage that you have openly endorsed cheating and abuse from men to their wives. Same marriage you said a wife is not part of a man's family. Same marriage that you called even your own father a simp for loving your mum so much.

That is the marriage you want to use to reward these women. Lmao! Goodluck to the women that pass your test and marry you and your ilk. grin

You're endangering your health. Your kidneys may pay a price if your routine does not change. The least will be bladder and urinary tract infections.

What do I eat sef.. let's see. I take bread or rice (not the regular quantity I'd take). Just something to shock the stomach, and I don't take much water or anything tea to avoid frequent urge to ease oneself on the way.
By the time we leave Lagos at 6:45 am, you're still good till evening.. at Lokoja, approaching Abuja (like another 4 hours), I can now eat moderate food or maybe snacks. Then when we enter Abuja, gbogbo aye. I'd be like.. give me food, I just want to eat food.

Note, It's good to have pills for stomach upset e.g. flagyl or diastop and small bottle of water to swallow your pill without delay when need arises.
Thank God for HIS mercies all those years.. accidents here and there, kidnappings, highway robberies etc. but man still dey. Now it's more of 45 - 50 mins cruising in the skies.


LoL, your own lokoja to Abuja must be different from the usual lokoja to Abuja wey everybody knows to take a whole 4 hours.

How many hours Abuja to Zaria or Zuba park to Kano go come be?

This reminds me of two separate journeys I had from Ibadan to Lagos.
The first, two fine ladies sat behind the driver. It was a bus. One was pressed and was shy to tell the driver. No be piss o. Na poo.
I kept hearing the other saying "talk now, talk" the lady could not. She thought she could hold it. Then all of a sudden she shouted " Mo fẹ yagbẹ," grin
She couldn't form to dey speak English. Everyone burst out laughing. The friend joined in beging the driver to stop. As soon as the vehicle stoped the lady jumped down and did not even do it in the bush. It was right on the express behind our vehicle. People laughed tire that day. Someone dashed her his table water to wash. She finished and came back thanking everyone. It was real fun.

This other time I no know wetin make me drink tea before living house going to submit documents at the VFS for visa.
We got to the park and discovered motor fare has been hiked upon one flimsy excuse. Everyone dey para but gat no choice. We were waiting for the remaining two people to come. Then three people going together came and they were in haste and didn't want to wait for the next turn. The driver came to appeal to my line to please accommodate an extra person. The other guys on seat don agree na me con say never! Upon unnecessary fare hike. The driver beg tire I talk say he will need to reduce the fare for guys on seat to accommodate an extra person. At last ppl begged and I agreed at last.
We have not moved for 30minutes wen dis piss con dey disturb me. I told the driver that I wan piss o.
Na so the idiatt looked back and give me one kind look. He accelerated the vehicle and kept driving. I called him again, I say I wan piss.
He drove on as if we dey travel go Ghana on high speed. Other passengers started appealing to the animal he kept driving. Na so I unzipped my trouser I wan piss for vehicle floor. The guys beside me shouted at him. "He is about to piss for inside vehicle o" Na so the werey pulled up. I got down and piss. He kept grumbling as I dey piss. I no mind am.
I entered and the vehicle started moving. Not up to fifteen minutes I started feeling pressed again. Na so I talked to the stupid piss say if you worry me more than this I go reach Lagos before I release you. You can't disgrace me for here. grin
No be for Berger I wan stop to enter another vehicle before but as e con be na so I got down for Berger go urinate before proceeding. Since that day I no dey drink water or tea before traveling again.
