A lady has shared an experience she had in Lagos that made her make up her mind to relocate out of Nigeria.
It happened back when she was still a banker.
On a sad Friday she took a bus to Obalende.
A big bus stopped in front of her, which she suspected because, “it’s usually small buses that take that rout”.
But the fare was just ₦100, so she jumped in.
On their way she noticed they didn’t pick any other passenger except a certain that was dressed in colored clothes.
The man sat beside her in the driver’s seat.
Minutes later, the conductor asked her to help him change ₦1000. She brushed it over.
Later he rubbed her shoulder and asked where her bus stop was.
It irritated her, so she snapped:
“Why you dey rub my body like this?
“Which body? This one na body abi bonga fish?”, he replied.
He tells her that her fare was now ₦300 and again she charged back at him.
The driver packed and told her to come down – which she did.
Luckily for her, each time she boarded a public transport she would always check her bag.
Behold, her phone was gone!
“Omo my brain reset instantly!”
When she raised her head and saw them at a slow traffic, she dropped everything and her wig on the floor and chased after them.
She saw a bus and begged the driver to just hang by the door since it is full.
They caught up with them, and collected her phone while they were attempting to escape through a bridge.
She said the passenger they carried must have been the one that removed the phone:
“..How they took that phone from
my bag was still a mystery.
…That was the moment I knew it was
time to leave that Godforsaken country
before I run mad”
