Offpoint:
It was a very terrible experienced...

It was on 15 of August 2015, the day I'll live never to forget, the memory is still fresh in my head like it was just a moment ago.

I woke up that faithful fateful morning at an early hour of 5am, even though I had no or little sleep the whole night cuz there was a lot of evil thoughts going through my head that night. fear of the unknown, fear of uncertainty and lots more.

To shorten the long story*
5:30am I left home for the park, bought my bus ticket and carefully scanned through the bus for the perfect and most comforting angle to sat on. in a matter of seconds, I've detected the back seat and close to the right window side to enable me buy whatever I want to whenever the need to arises.

30 minutes later, we were in motion. where I sat there were two beautiful ladies sitting beside me, don't want to describe their beauty in words cuz that may take an entire page, but all I can say is... their beauty can make a man do things he never planned to do, it can make a man lost his sense of reasoning and can make an Ajepako tried to form an ajebutter. these girls were so beautiful for a second I thought I was sitting with angels.... this is were my predicament started, that was the genesis of the impending damnation of my journey.

.....To be continued tomorrow morning.... flat battery

When the bus arrived I boarded it and told the manager to give me transport to phc from enugu. He gave me 2k and I was happy. When we got to enugu, I entered phc bound bus. Since I had enough with me I paid for two sits and occupied the front sit. Upon reaching phc I went straight to ABC office and demanded to see the manager. I told him I was the passenger that was left behind in lokoja and he pleaded with that he was sorry bla bla bla. I told him I had no money and he gave me 3k. I was so happy. I went home and told my parents what happened they were surprised I handled

was travelling to Owerri from Lagos with YSG motors, our bus broke down in Ore, we had two Lord Chosen Members before we left Lagos, they were preaching about repentance and love, they also preached about how Jesus came for the sinners.

So while our bus broke down, we waited for another one, suddenly an empty Lord chosen Bus heading to owerri stopped, it looked like a new BRT bus. Guess what, they only picked the two passengers and left us because we weren't members or weren't wearing their green bullet proof shit.


The problem with Africans is, we pretend a lot and use religion as a decoy, most are religious not because of love for God or humanity, but just to make Heaven.

The day I realised how much Jesus loves me. I went to Republic of Benin for a shady deal. To cut long story short, I had nothing left on me. I started wandering around but God had a plan B. He sent a friend from Nigeria to come to Republic of Benin to make a simple bank transaction he could have made in Nigeria. He himself couldn't explain what stirred his heart to come to Benin when he could have used the bank behind his house. He found me wandering and transported me back home. It was that day 'Amazing grace how sweet the sound ...' became a meaningful a d sweet melody to me.

Getting stranded while traveling almost became a norm for me as I was always traveling at night for no good reason until a certain time when I decided to embark on a journey from Akwa Ibom to Owerri , I had left the park by 4pm unknown to me the Abia state boundary road was a world class mess , we spent hours trying to get through the traffic jam until few minutes past 10pm, driver said he couldn't continue the journey again and refunded us some part of our transport enough to take us to destination, after a while we manage to see a taxi that drove us down to Owerri , the time was few minutes past 12am by then I was left with one guy going to FUTO , while I was heading for NEKEDE .... I looked at The notorious Douglas road , I knew it would be suicide mission to take that route , I checked my pocket I was having some few change not big enough to lodge in those expensive hotels,I had a school bag and a bag of foodstuff in the other hand, my eyes became red, Checked some churches and they refused me from entering , went to the police checkpoint and begged them that I should just sit close to them until daybreak so I can continue my journey , na so police pursue me oh .... My heart cut that night , Area boys tried to snatch my bag twice at some point me too I form bad guy go siddon for one road side bar, bought few sticks of cigarettes and Beer .
Early morning my ever worried babe use a cab to pick me up, after that incident I swore never to travel at odd hours again!!

Anyone with worse or similar experience ?

Wasn't actually stranded, i missed my way and battery is dead, i just had to wait in the park hoping my host would come find me, well she came through eventually.

BrokenCock:
she came or he came?

samysmoothfresh:



the right response should have been "hey love!" or at least dear


cant sleep or you saw me online and decided to stay up too?

Hey love? To a stranger? You're a piece of work.

It was last week Monday in Lagos o.

I received a call from my wife that Oshodi-Iyana ipaja road has blocked that if I love myself I should keep my car in office and take public bus to avoid stress and vehicle overheat. That was around 5pm while it was raining in Isolo.

I have #1500 on me and I'm going to Ijoko Ogun state,I dropped my car in office and I take a car from iyana isolo to Oshodi which is just #100 , when I get to Oshodi I couldn't find tollgate or ssngo motor that was the Genesis of my predicament o.Then one LT(yellow bus) came and called tollgate #1000 that was around 6pm, on a normal day tollgate is #300, I refused to board the bus thinking cheaper one will come I stay for another one hour and no motor colame to the busstop I have no choice than to take bike and the bike man says its #2000 I asked the bike man if I can do transfer for him he said no problem but I need to do it now cos he won't want me to delay him when we get to tollgate .

I did the transfer to his account but me and him didn't see the alert to be sure the transaction is successful we both keep waited till we reach Tollgate still the same, I have no choice to than to do another transfer of #2000 that was around 11pm o.This time he receives the alert instantly and he told me it has enter but me didn't receive any debit alert, I just tell him thank u for his patience and I say goodbye to him. It was when I reach home around 12am that one alert came in to my phone and I checked immediately only for me to discover that it was actually 4 alerts ...debit of #2000 twice and debit of VAT+commission twice. That means pay #4,100 to transport myself from oshodi to tollgate if i knew i would have boarded it for #1k Infact its a very bad experience for me

[b] Nigerians have been traumatized.
It's time for us to wake up and look beyond these recycled politicians with nothing new to offer.

I never really understood what PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) meant till I left visited a foreign country for the first time.

My first time out of the country was to Doha. I woke up in the middle of the night to charge my phone and iron my clothes because I feared that power would go off.

When I was in U.S for work, I drove from Houston to Dallas around 2am. I was so afraid of getting attacked by highway robbers that I kept peering into the thick bushes looking for any sign of unusual movement. I arrived Dallas around 5 am without any harm befalling me.

I can't even stay out late in Nigeria except in some parts of Lagos and some parts of Abuja.

Nigerians have been treated so unfairly. All my years in Nigeria, I have never ever ever expereiced a full week of constant electricity.

I have ever ever ever driven 20 km without potholes or some form of road hazard.

I have been robbed twice around Benin expressway.

Growing up, we were never attacked by armed robbers but my neighbours were robbed severally. I remember a young girl back then that was raped and robbed on her way back from school

My undergraduate years, my apartment was broken into and my room mate butchered like a chicken for resisting thieves. They carted away my electronics and valuable which wasn't worth up to 100k naira.

Through out my lifetime in Nigeria, nothing has gotten better. Not security, not roads, not electricity, not jobs creation.

My story is pretty much the life of the average Nigerian.

Nigerians wake up[/b]

So I decided to hit the road cos I was tired of flying to and from Lagos, a decision I lived to regret, the bus was overloaded with waybill goods and driven by a very nasty and reckless driver in a night journey. hmmmm my heart was in my mouth.

The expected happened as the spring beneath the goods laden bus broke just as we got to Ore at about 2am in the middle of no where , mosquitoes had a field day cos we had to abandon the bus and took cover in the near by bush, fear of robbers.

Hmmmmm, had to hang on a tree like a monkey till day break GOSH!
