6 Types Of People You’ll Meet In A Danfo (and Why You’ll Never Forget Them) by alphonsojaybaz(op): 3:42am On Jul 14, 2025
A danfo isn’t just a bus — it’s a moving storybook, a theater of real-life comedy, and sometimes, an extreme sport. Lagosians know that every danfo ride comes with unpredictable characters that turn your commute into a whole experience. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Here are six unforgettable passengers you’re bound to meet (and maybe avoid) when you hop on a Lagos danfo.

1. The Loud Phone Call Uncle 📞

This man is having a full board meeting on the bus — and you’re involuntarily part of it. He’s yelling “Tell him to send the 2.5 million today!” into his Itel phone with full confidence. No earpiece, no shame, no peace.

2. The Angry Conductor with Selective Hearing 😡👂

He’s shouting “Ojuelegba, CMS, Ojota!” at 100 decibels, but the moment you ask “Do you go to Anthony?” he suddenly can’t hear you. But try not to give him old ₦500 — his ears will work instantly.

3. The Fine Girl Pretending She’s Not Here 😐💅

She’s wearing sunglasses indoors, AirPods in, and she’s not making eye contact with anyone. Danfo? What danfo? She’s mentally in an Uber Black.

4. The Guy Selling Herbal Medicine for “Everything” 🌿🧪

He starts off calmly: “Good morning my brothers and sisters in the Lord.” Next thing you know, he’s pitching bitters that cure typhoid, heartbreak, and poverty — for just ₦200.

5. The Prayer Warrior at 6:30 AM 🙏🔥

Before the danfo even moves, you hear “Let us pray.” She’s praying for journey mercies… and possibly deliverance from your sins. You can’t say “Amen” fast enough.

6. The One Who Doesn’t Pay (and Hops Off Mid-Traffic) 🏃‍♂️💨

Every danfo has that one agile escape artist. The conductor’s yelling “My money na!” — but this guy has already vanished into traffic. Every passenger watches, quietly respecting his hustle.
👀 Final Thoughts:

Danfo rides are wild, noisy, hilarious, and unforgettable. These characters are what make Lagos Lagos. If you’ve never experienced them, are you even really a Lagosian?

The ones that like to pay for their neighbor especially if the neighbor is a fine girl. Sometimes I wonder if they just boarded the bus to catch babes.

You did justice to it.

But you didn't add the ones that would sit comfortably inside the danfo as if they're sitting in their living room.

Once you tell them to shift/adjust, they would vent their anger on you.

7 .The one with varieties of body odour.

8. The one who occupies the front seat like his father's property and always goes down for another passenger to go inside instead of adjusting.

9. The one who claims to be staff just to avoid paying transport fare whereas he's a bloody civilian.
