Molue era is enough for film makers to make many comedy series.

In Fela Anikulapo song, title :suffering and smiling.

It is molue the Abami eda was referring to when baba said " 29 sitting 99 standing "

Let start with their two conductors, one at front door and the second one mounting the second door. They're always on under wear singlet white turned to brown... With their hairy armpit full of dust

Molue no get break, don't expect it to wait or park for you to enter, you will run to enter it and also run to come down.... During rush hour, you either take elbow or hooking while trying to get inside Molue.

The standing is the most difficult of it... They will pack people till no single space for even an ant to pass. While standing, you see some shameless men trying to press women back side....passengers will fight from point A to point Z...

The drivers are practical example of what Asake means in his lyrics " dey don cut my ear " they only concentrate on their gear, steering or their bottle of ogogoro...They cannot drive without cigarette, majority are lovers of consulate or saint moritz cigarette.

Make I leave it... Me and my friends, we were fun of always entering molue with no destination without kobo in our pocket... When its time for money, we go form school boys and people will start begging for us... Leave them naa, them be children... Them be student..
Until we enter one going from Oshodi to Ikorodu, the two conductors are beasts, we reach Agric we wan rush jump down dey run, the two wicked guys trapped four of us, seized one leg of our slippers, run enter molue.... Chai, see wahala, na so we self rush follow them jump enter the molue, begin make trouble, las las na Last bus stop dey wait give us our slippers with the intervention of the driver and other old mama and papa.

Things don happen way back

Baba no vex o if I don abuse u on one thread or the other before...


1983 story

😳

The Op himself dey abuse people wey old pass ham, so nah normal thing if you abuse ham..

That being said, the dude dey lie a lot. Don’t be surprised all those things his saying are all fabricated lies - probably things he heard from the people that experienced it..

Don’t believe everything you read or see online… Real eyes realize real lies - 2pac

I remember back in 1984 when I used to go out with my little boy, who was just ten years old at the time. He absolutely loved the experience of jumping onto the bus and enjoyed every moment of it. Now, he’s all grown up.

99.9% of the people in that picture are no more. Meaning you are not going to be here forever.

Says who, molue that I still saw last year. Infact molue is still operating in some parts of Lagos like Sango.

etrouble:
And some bitter vagabonds still say it’s not Tinubu that developed Lagos. Shey na Nnamdi Azikiwe abi na Tafawa Balewa?

Are you saying it's Tinubu that removed molue from Lagos? Molue that was all over Lagos all through Tinubus tenure, it was fashola that started taking molue away in 2015, infact traces of molue was still all over Lagos until Ambode came and I still saw one as late as last year.
That's how you Tinubu ended up giving Tinubu credit for what all his predecessors did in your desperate attempt to paint him good and we are here seeing the result. Tinubu built Lagos my foot, I still maintain Tinubu is one of the worst governors of Lagos. All he achieved was excessive taxation and massive refuse dumps in all Lagos but stops while empowering touts and fighting political enemies like OBj,Funsho Williams (whose death is still being pointed to him), Ganiyu Dawodu and his deputies like Femi Pedro and the other woman, Fashola came in and cleared a lot of his mess and brought some sanity.
How he convinced APC zombies that he built Lagos is what baffles me till today. I was very matured and in the university when Tinubu was governor so I witnessed his term first hand.

merits:
I was once a conductor on these legend buses and I used the money to sponsor myself to university but I was surprised all most 99.9% of conductor nowadays are drugs load,tout and mentally detailed set of people.I really thank God for myself that I was able to remain focused throughout my years as a conduxtor.

really impressive.

He’s reminiscing of the past again using his alternate. SMH.

It was from Ibadan to a remote village,that i no longer remember the name after Iwo town.We were so dusty and unrecognisable after disembarking that our voices was how we identified each other

I've not laugh like this for years. Lol

theophorus:
A friend who wasn't resident in Lagos came to Lagos to do IT. He saw people inside Molue and felt pity for them thinking they were prisoners on their way to Correctional centers.

😂

"Bus stop" by Paul IK Dairo sums it up

Back then ...if you don't have much to move arnd ? U wait for a molue . The hawkers always pay half price of fare, you want get Belle .. medicine dey. U wan commot Belle, ... E also work for am . 1 medicine for 50 ailments. Fashola came and the became an eyesore. He gave free brt rides and the molues were not needed anymore. Rmds me of times when u can survive without much
