Mine was traveling from Ekpoma to Ibadan..Unknown to us our driver is an epilepsy patient. Few minutes to his crisis he received a call that made him shout and para. 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.
It was not funny at all, thank God the men beside him were experienced drivers,they kicked his legs away from d accelerator and parked us successfully. This took us some time o, thank God the road was not busy DAT time.
After he recovered, we told him what happened and he said he is well now that he can still drive us.. For where? We no agree o, na one of the men in front drove us home from Akure..It could have being more tragic.. Thank God for life.. The funniest thing is that its a company bus and I saw him driving after some months. Only God go dey save us in Naija.
Thank God for life.

You should've flagged and reported the transit company.

Mine was sometime in 2015, I was traveling to Port Harcourt from Abuja in GIGM, the driver due to bad roads was just jumping from one road to another that we were not familiar with. When the bus finally entered Delta State, the driver informed us that he doesn't know the road to Port Harcourt from Delta State as he is only familiar with Anambra Owerri route to Port Harcourt. To add salt to injury only myself and one other dude in the vehicle has an idea how to get to Port Harcourt from where we were so we became his navigator. When we passed Ughelli in Delta State at about 8pm in the night, it started raining heavily, the driver put on the car wiper and it wasn't working. How do we drive from Ughelli to Port Harcourt under a heavy rain? The clown of a driver brought out bathroom slippers and was using one hand to drive while wiping the water from the windscreen with the other hand. Funny thing was that he did a good job in the circumstances. Despite all the challenges we arrived safely in Port Harcourt at about 11pm.

That was how our useless driver put head and enter road o, we had not even driven up to 15mins from the place of robbery when the vehicle broke down. That was how everyone came down and started trekking that lonely highway by midnight

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
Lmao

My year one in school, I ventured into the logistics business and I wasn't doing well at all. Out of frustration, I and my partner decided to go to Abeokuta to look for trucks to hire ( the most foolish decision I have ever made in my life), we kept going from garage to garage getting contacts of different drivers and we were so happy.
Yawa gas when we decided to withdraw the last 1k in my account to board a taxi to mushin, first bank had removed 895.54 as bank charges.

We were Just crying inside and decided to trek back las las 3 days we would get home, at a point my friend couldn't hold it in and started crying profusely and that brought us a good Samaritan that paid for our transport and snacks.

Along Lagos-Ibadan expressway, our bus had a fuel leakage. We got to a place & the roadside hawkers started shouting, " petrol! petrol! petrol!". The driver stopped the bus & all passengers started shouting at the driver to leave his seat & open the door so that all can get down quickly. When we noticed he was reluctant to open the door, the guys in the bus started fleeing through the windows. While struggling to get out, I had a tear in my jean trousergrin. When I was looking at the tear, people said I shouldn't bother about that, what matters is life.

2010 or so while traveling to Akungba in Ondo State from Kaduna state to write postutme, got to a place and we saw so many vehicles parked on the road. Our bus stopped and we were told there was a robbery going on in front, we were still wondering why they chose to rob during the day when we saw people running towards us and shouting 'dem dey come o'... Don't even know how the guy that sat closed to me jumped out, all I remembered was that before I could look at my side, he was already far into the bush, running like a mad man.....

Me no even know when I burst laugh while still seated inside the bus and people were struggling to get out from the Bus...

It was so funny, I later got to know that he actually jumped through the window without even me that sat closed to him knowing.
He must be the flash cheesy
Re: Share Your Worst Or Funny Travel Experience by Sixfeetbelle: 3:49pm On Aug 26, 2020
I felt the need to share this travel experience even though I haven't shared it with anyone before.

I redeployed from Kano to Ogun State after camp and took a bus to Ibadan, then was supposed to take another one from Ibadan to Abeokuta. I arrived at the park late and couldn't find a direct bus to Ogun hence this long journey. Sometimes I wish I had boarded a different company bus that day but C'est la vie.

Anyway, the journey was pretty smooth at first, apart from this one time our driver jumped a "slow down and stop" checkpoint and nearly got his windshield cracked into smithereens by the force of the military whip.

Asides that, the journey encountered minimal traffic on the road until we got to Ondo (one of those small villages that stretches for miles without major development) when our bus suddenly developed an engine fault. Driver claimed he couldn't get support from his fellow company drivers for one reason like that so we alighted the bus and waited for him to find a mechanic. After like an hour or so, a mechanic arrived and started working on the bus. Meanwhile some men/guys who had somehow bonded on the course of the journey, decided they couldn't sit around waiting like the ladies, and so took a hike in search of meat and booze and I believe ended up in a local ashawo bar. Men

After the bus was up and doing and we had boarded, the driver realised up to five passengers were missing. Then one of the guys returned and claimed the rest were right behind him. This "right behind him" statement turned to another 10 minutes of waiting before driver reversed to go look for them and we found them just mere distance from the bar, feeling good about themselves, plainly unbothered that we would arrive at our respective destinations very late. Same couldn't be said of me though.

Anyway, they had a good time at the bar, shared their meat amongst themselves and proceeded to bore my eardrums with talks about yahoo and being a man. Got to Ibadan at 9pm that night. Didn't know what to do. Luckily, NCCF came through (will find a way to support those guys once I hammer) and I spent the night with them. Early next morning, they gave me directions on how to get to Abeokuta and once I got to NYSC, put the whole experience behind me. Until now.

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.
