It was time for the moon appearance, dark thick cloud covered the sky but here I was in the infamous Lagos road, the fast and furious daredevil buses or better still danfo.
I had find comfort in the bus after a stressful day. The bus which seems to be deprived of change according to the yelling conductor shouting repeatedly in a chorus ‘no change oh no change o’
Well Welcome to Lagos where it was normal to board a bus with a 1000 naira while the fare is 50 naira. Well this thick brows , bloodshed eye man with a Lion’s voice passenger who sat beside me , stenching from the Lagos bath , I mean the hustle and bustle of Lagos gave the conduct a thousand naira note and requested for his 950 change almost immediately.
The conducted collected the money and ignored his rants, and before the time hit 8 o’clock I heard a thunder slap ZAPP. The hot slap was good enough to boil water, who gave the slap? To my surprise the passenger beside me, and before i could get myself from the shock the conducted returned the slap back with a resound shot, and before we knew it, the bus turned into a trade centre of punches and scattering. And my unfortunate self was at the middle of this war.
Amidst the confusion in the bus, I heard a loud voice, strong enough for the second coming trumpet. Everybody could hear it, my phone, he screamed. BTW, if you in Lagos for the first time do not pick your phone close to the widow of a commercial bus, else a hand from nowhere would drag the phone, well that’s exactly what happened to the guy at my back, his face looked like a burnt dodo, he just threw his hands up shouting my phone.
Meanwhile in the midst of this the bus was still moving as the drive deaf his hears to the war in the bus.
It was just unfathomable how the Lagos bus could be, I can’t fit shout. And the most amazing part of the stealing is when the guy called his phone back and was picked and the receiver said ‘call back the owner of the phone no dey’.
I just dropped at the next bus stop before the bad belle in the bus catches me too
