I had this experience 3years ago .I was travelling back from ado ekiti to Lagos .so I made a decision I was going to stop over at ibadan to eat amala at a favorite spot that is well known (amala sky) was a bit boxed up then .my transport arrived at ibadan at past 4pm not minding the time I still insisted on accomplish ing what I stopped I stopped at ib for .I got to the famous road side amala/abula spot had the best amala of my life then .I spent bout 2000 naira just to eat a food I rarely eat at a road side canteen.at about pass 5pm I started my journey back to Lagos so I stopped a bike from the canteen to take me to toll gate where I would get a cheap fare to Lagos .I was feeling reluctant to pay more than 500 naira for the bus fare to Lagos even if I had about 6k still left with me then ..while on the bike down to toll gate then I saw a betnaija shop and then I had this gambling addiction I was trying to curb then .so I told to bike man to stop me at shop as I saw the bet shop sign post ahead .I was greedy with my self then I wanted to make more money to chill with in lag .I got in the shop and I started playing the virtual bet .at first I won 1500 upfront to the 6k I had on me .I felt then I needed to make more so I could purchase a power bank when I got to Lagos and still have flex change on me ..I continued playing the bet hoping I would make a 5k upfront and then continue my journey back to lag .then I started losing .first I lost all the money I won ,I still didn't leave feeling it would be a worthless leaving the bet shop without a win .then I was even like if if fit chop 2k ontop my 6k I go do go ,na so betnaija chop me too 7hundred .then I could feel my self being freightened .I became a anxious and started to panic .Note I had an option. To leave then with the 700hundred left on me atleast that could still take me to Lagos with the normal way I planned on moving .but I kept on being ignorant till I was down to 50naira and then night don dey reach finish ..I was soaked in anxiety and panic then coz I didn't have any source of money and the bet shop was soon going to close ..
Other gamblers around could see the panick in me ,I was fucking scared and I knew ib was so like that for an outsider .at about 20 minutes to 9pm another gambler in the store came to me and see make we JFK play one game .means joining money together ,in my mind I was like shey this one dey craze no shey hin no see wetin sup with me for here coz it was obvious I was a Traveller I was with my bag.I only had 100 left on me .I had no option then than to give it my last try since the 100 naira seem worthless anyways I can't even play a bet with 100 the least amount for the virtual bet is 150nair a..we played the game and fortunately for me we won .we had 650 .we had to split it since we JFK play the game .I had 350 of the money .them the shop was about closing but 350 still can't get me to my destination.i had to beg bet attendant to give a last chance to play one more bet I used 200 of the money to book a bet and luckily I won the bet .I then had 950 on me . immediately nobody tell me I picked up my bags and zoomed off to the bus park at bout past 9pm .I got to toll gate bought bottle water and entered a bus to Lagos .not minding the late hour journey I was so relaxed and grateful through out the journey and that day upward .months after I got over my habit of betting and am still grateful ..do what matters and in tough situations apply your brain and faith .

So the whole bus was smelling and choky and the whole bus was messy too because some ppl threw-up right there in the bus.It was hell on earth..Many ppl,women especially were seriously raining insults on the guy while some were laughing and making jest of him..i felt pity 4 the guy sha because the way he humbly and quitely stood at the last corner of the bus like who has received a death sentence...Now the funny part is coming.
After driving 4 amost 2hours,then it was almost morning..The driver branched a fueling station so we could catch some air and allow the guy come out of the bus..So everyone came out and the guy refuse 2 come out,the driver had 2 go and bring him out..When he finally came out,we realised that he has really messed up himself and the whole bus..they bought bags of pure water,stripped the guy from waist down and poured him water.He was really acting funny while all this was going on and everyone busted into an unending laughter.

when I was in primary 6, my parents told me not to go to my school excursion because there was no money to pay the bills. I was sad cause I was the Headboy, how on earth will the whole class go for excursion and me the head boy is to be left out. I started making plans without my parents knowledge, I pleaded with my class teacher that my parents said they'll pay the following week. on D-Day I packed my things like I was going to school, I stole my brother's Jean trouser, I had no belt then so I removed the rope on my native wear in place of belt.when we got there, we were told to take off our shirt for sport that was how my rope started dangling, It was as if the ground should open and swallow me

How can I forget the most exciting experience of my NYSC days.Just before I set out for my journey ; I thought of calling my mum to inform her of me coming home. However, I decided not to do so in case I don't make it home early and set her on panic mode.True to my intuition; the hold-up caused by bad roads , the beginning of Redeemed Church's December retreat and several diversions through narrow paths stalled our smooth drive and made me get to Benin by 6pm.From there, I connected to Agbor in order to sleep over at Abraka with the boys in my former hostel.Few drivers expressed interest to connect to ABK at that hour because of the deadly robbery that took place on the road the previous day.Finally, one ,with an Audi 80, decided to load but not without drama. With 3 apprehensive passengers at the back seat; he accepted a fourth passenger to seat at the front with a big "Hausa" goat and two others in the boot. Silence in the vehicle , along quiet and notorious spots, was broken intermittently with the goats lashing and bleating out," Baa, baa,baa.......baa" at intervals. Though a comic relief in moments of uncertainty; I only managed to laugh out loud when I disembarked at ABK at about 10:30pm

Mine happened in 2013. Finished my first semester exams though I still have two papers to write but that will be in a week time so I decided to travel to lag without telling a soul. My sis was even in lag but I didn't even tell her. Want to see boyfriend. Day to leave and head back to school came and Bobo said no money for tp(I barely survived the one week, was even ill sef). Had to start sending whatsapp messages to my friends so the can send me some cash. I was able to get the tp, so the plan was I will take a morning bus and my sis was leaving that same day too so I was praying I don't meet her in the park. We got to the park but the morning bus has already left. So the plan was now a night bus and since I don't have enough cash on me, he had to leave me at the park and head back home cos it won't be possible for us to leave together. Spent the whole day at the park, we left around 7pm. Few hours into the journey, we got a tire burst and na for one deserted bush. The driver came down and fixed it, we sha left there after 11. By 6 we were at the outskirts of logical when the the same tire burst again and no more spare. The driver called and was told to wait for the night bus for the day to bring tire. Meanwhile, popci was busy calling to know when I was leaving Zaria to Jos. Last last, na passengers contribute and a tire was bought and fixed by then it was already after 12 in the afternoon. I Sha told popci I was passing through Kd and we had tire issues. Reached Jos around 10pm a journey of 12 hours took more than 24 hours. Popci and my brother were already waiting at the junction to pick me and my sis(she arrived before me). I missed my exams and spent a week on admission in the hospital.

Ahh, which means u immediately paid for Ur sin

The final chapter..
Then d guy was told 2 go inside d bus and clean up his mess of which he did,and all this while,the bobo was stil naked from waist down and his joystick was partially dangling out but luckily his huddy was long enough..After everything, he attempted 2 bring his messed trousers in2 d bus bt d driver collected it and threw it away..d driver was really acting like his father that day and d whole thing really made everyone laff..So another guy offered him a pair of his trousers because the driver couldn't locate his luggages anytime soon..After an hour and thirty minutes spent there,everything was set and we were good 2 continue our journey..All thru d rest of the journey,a lot of ladies made jest of the guy and when it was 2much to bear,he told d driver that he wanted to drop but everyone shouted No..
I leta got the whole gist about the whole thing b4 it happened..they said he had begged the driver earlier that he was pressed and needed 2 ease himsef but driver refused because the road was dangerous

We were travelling and our bus broke down in a small town along the highway. Before the breakdown each passenger was minding his own business and no one was talking to another.
As we were waiting while the mechanic was fixing the car, I brought out a bottle of groundnut that I bought before boarding the bus and offered to everyone around. The next guy bought banana immediately, another bought drinks. Another started playing music on his phone, and that was how a small party started.
By the time the mechanic was through with fixing the vehicle it was as if we had known one another for many years. That was my best travel experience.

That's how they do. If people aren't much in the vehicle again , he will say he's no longer going. Or he just pretends the car is faulty. He knows one or two people can't fight him and force him to go.

Oboy see as the epilepsy start with him, my heart had left me, as the men beside him were trying to press brake and park he was pressing accelerator unconsciously.

I was heading to Lagos from Calabar, we never knew that the so called vehicle from a reputable transport company was bad right from the park, the vehicle stopped like thrice on the road, see curse now, the last mechanic fault was at shagamu, that day i was crying in my heart, my mom and brother were running helter skelter, to make matter worse, i was hearing gunshots, they were robbing somewhere, at last a good Samaritan picked some of us up and I alighted at ikeja, got home around 12 a.m midnight . Worst traveling experience ever.
Another bad experience was coming back from sokoto to Anambra, it was during the lockdown and i slept on the road for three good days, the only good thing was i was in the company of my colleagues, when i finally got to onitsha around 9 p.m , i could no longer get a bus going to my hometown, had to lodge in a hotel till the next morning
did you serve in Sokoto?
