This is a really terrible story, like I saw pepper.lol,I'm not going to exaggerate at all,Hope you enjoy it.
I got accepted at my PPA(Place of Primary Assignment) don't forget I'm a serving corp member so I decided to go home to prepare fully for the one year yunno Borno is far and I can't just decide to go home anyhow well I can if I can afford flight.what is paining me is that MAIDUGURI TO LAGOS BY AIR IS (2) TWO HOURS, AND ROAD IS A WHOLE TWO DAYS JOURNEY. I set out for my journey on Wednesday morning let me mention I was intending to go with a free flight you want to know more about it drop a comment below,lol.but that didn't work so road was the option,I decided to break my journey and go to Kano first since I wanted to board Landstar Express and they only travel from Kano,I left Maiduguri to the park,its called 'Borno Express' I wasn't the only one incase of the use of 'We' in some cases, we were the last to board the bus so we didn't take long before we took off,Journey started and yeah it was my time of the month(hope you understand), I'll advise you don't travel especially if the journey is more than a day its something I regret now. The bus was fast to an extent we left Maiduguri around past 10am so arrived Kano around past 6 pm.
This isn't the story, my journey from Kano to Lagos is the real deal,keep reading please and thank God I didn't deem it fit to make a video it would have been double stress for me.
Find attached very few pictures of some places en route Kano.

Immediately we arrived Kano we planned on going straight to Land star before these Hausa men came from God knows and said are we going to Lagos?,their park is close bla bla,as I remember that day I'm almost getting angry at my self for going along with them and allowing my self get fooled lol,we learn everyday.they lied at first that their bus company is "God is Good" its not far from here,we got there the place was empty they said their buses aren't parked there we would have to go with them to where it is parked.I use to think I was smart damn.loll,the thing is I didn't believe them but I was like let's see na after which we'll go to Land star,they were like we'll take keke (tricycle)this that they were so restless!! We sha followed them and that was it,its still going to be continued.

We are going Maiduguru with corper who use to think she was smart but travels with end of the month .

What did you study?

Fear north.... End of discussion

I studied marketing

I'll continue tomorrow God's grace.

CAPSLOCKED:


THIS IS COMPLETELY TERRIBLE. LET'S FORGET THE GRAMMAR OR SPELLINGS, YOUR FRIEND HAS FOUND IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO INVOLVE ADEQUATE SPACES AND PUNCTUATION MARKS IN THE ENTIRE STORY.
AND (S)HE HAS A DEGREE.

Please! Look at grammar police talking!

She's telling a story the way she wants and not sitting exams!

Swerve if you don't like her style!

so why are you telling us

Most Nigerians are the same, lying, cheating, fraudsters, always make up your mind so you don't get distracted along the way.

1.There is something called suspense,I was trying to achieve that.
Secondly I have a weak point in punctuating but I don't think it's that bad you find it difficult to read what I write,and I'll keep writing till I get better that's one of the reasons I started using nairaland,I owe no one an error free write up.I am not trying to makeup anything or tell a lie or whatever please if you don't like what I write don't read it,Life isn't hard let's not make it one..And to everyone taking their time to read what I'm writing THANK YOU SO MUCH.I'll continue now.

When we got to where they called their park (where they lied their buses were)it was empty and I could only see people who I wasn't sure also wanted to travel, the place was just beside the road and we refused to seat,at this point I brought out my landstar receipt of my previous journey which I still kept with me and called their lines,that was when I got to know that Landstar Express (a traveling company)travels by 12-1pm during the day and by this time it was past six in the evening, so a friend suggested I sleep over then start up my journey the next day since I was in my time of the month coupled with the fact that most buses won't leave that night to Lagos still tomorrow, I wanted to but...we kept waiting to atleast see the bus,they said it was luxurious..
We waited and decided that once it was eight pm we were going to leave and commence the journey tomorrow instead that was when a dead looking luxurious bus came,the guys were like they'll get tickets for us lets just wait,when I saw the bus my first statement was I can't travel with this, like my intuition was so accurate but I didn't follow it,Please always follow whatever your intuition tells you even if someone is saying do something and deep down you feel wrong about it don't do it,I'm the type to always stand on my decision but in that scenario I didn't. I saw some persons were in the bus already so the inquisitive part of me went to the window and asked a lady if truly the bus was traveling to Lagos she said she affirmed in positive, I went back again and asked is there available seats for more persons caused it looks like its filled she said there are,at this point the guys already brought the tickets and they were frustrated as why I kept asking questions, I just wanted to be very sure, then they were like if you're not interested give us the ticket and I gladly did already,then they came back to me trying to convince me but why I decided to go with them was my other colleague we were travelling together she was everything would be fine let's go with them, with all of my acclaimed smartness I forgot to ask that lady one important question his much was the fare I mean the transport fare after few minutes of trying to get a conviction I didn't get I entered the bus but then people were struggling to go in,everywhere was tight and rough and immediately I got in I said to myself I made a mistake already,this isn't it and the fare was a difference of #500 from Landstar with features like full Air con till you get to your destination,TV, charging ports,some of their buses even have rest rooms in it but the bus I was in that night was a serious disaster and I love seating close to the window I couldn't get that also,as I sat everything was running through my mind I didn't know when I voiced out audibly can I get my money back and passengers in the bus said don't bother yourself, who did you pay,how much did you pay? That was when we knew we were charged extra and almost double on what we paid,time was far spent and in fact if we slept over till the next day it would have been the best. Then the next thing I saw some Hausa men coming into the bus,there were no extra seats so I was wondering where they headed to,in my life I never thought someone would travel while standing and not even a 45minutes kilometers journey but more than 24hours journey.
Guysss these men legit stood from Kano to Lagos it Is called (standing)in normal Nigeria terms like who does that??. That was when the real thing started.
Keep reading thank You!

I wrote some part of the story earlier but it refreshed and I had to start again. One of those things, I should have written it in my notebook and just copied and pasted it here I know,but I'll continue anyways.

They kept packing us like sardines these days sef sardines are having their own space o.lol.
They actually didn't stop until passengers started complaining that we are humans and not animals don't make the bus overly congested than it is already before him (the driver) and his so called manager stopped.This same bus was carrying more than fifty seated passengers alongside those standing were more than thirty and more he also carried a car engine,two bikes and passengers luggage's just imagine even a plane wouldn't be balance with such loads.
The fact was the driver was very greedy and didn't even care if we were comfortable or not,we started moving and I was already frustrated.we didn't go far we were just going to fill the tank of the bus,we were at this filling station for another 45minutes and at this point people were complaining then the driver was like he'll return us back to the park,I was praying in my mind he does so,but he didn't. They asked those standing to alight I was happy already thinking that was it but No they just wanted more money and after which these men came back in.it was past ten pm before we started the journey and I was wondering why didn't I just sleep instead of go through all of this.we commenced our journey and got to Zaria around past 12-1 am middle of the night,all of my thoughts were he'll have stop overs at a really nice place I'll change and hopefully get something nice to eat but I tell you all of our stop overs were just beside the road where you'll get close to nothing to buy/eat.I bought gala sausage and cold water,I was trying to avoid having running stomach or any inconvenience but I lied I Lief because I was the talk of the bus.lollllll
Please if you watched "aiyetoro town" there's this lady who steals and the day she stole Adaku's phone she was like madam abeg I wan toiley not even toilet (I am seriously laughing now) but it wasn't funny that day.There was no toilet for me to clean myself up as I thought I would,I was on on monthly period.I went into the nearest bush did my cleanings and got back into the bus where we were like I don't know that word.we continued the journey from Zaria.....I'll continue immediately! Thanks for reading. (Forgive the typos)I'm human.

I was so furious I had it in mind to write out the name of the bus company here but No I won't do that.The annoying part was how the bus was moving very very slow even a train would be faster,well how will I blame the poor bus we were overload na,Our next stop was at Suleja,still we didn't get anything nice to eat at this point my stomach was giving me wrong signals already (the rest is history) we continued the journey this time it was already morning and I found it frustrating like we were slowww.we kept going and then I needed to use the toilet I no shy o,I told the driver he complained but didn't have choice,before I could go step out of the bus I had to step on some persons because everywhere was clumsy I tell you.The funniest part was he didn't take the normal express road but inside inside villages and bushes and you know why,he was carrying too many passengers and I'm not sure he had his papers sef.Everywhere was sweaty,there was heat,the guys standing wanted to rest somewhere for support so I suffered it o,they stepped on me,hit me and then they kept saying sorry sorry,it was really annoying and I was trying to be calm and nice so it wouldn't sound like I was being rude or cold to them but at some point I just changed my countenance towards them it was annoying, at least they know Lagos is that far why risk it and inconvenience others.
Thanks for reading I'm trying to summarise and just move to another story. So the next piece might be the last.

I respect people and their hustle(s). However, people don’t like to feel they’ve been duped. You rope us in with a very good premise and then gave us the post drip by drip. After investing in this OP, only to be revealed to us that this was just a promo for your YouTube channel.

I just noticed the name of your moniker.

Lolll
I'm not trying to dupe anyone but instead promote myself,and you gain value from watching my videos so its not like I am trying to trick you into something bad,so it's a crime to promote myself? Thanks for atleast reading
Visiting my page, subscribing or watching my videos is at convenient,I'm not saying you must. Thank You!

And if you should read my previous write-ups you'll notice I write it once and that's all but this one entailed a lot of details so I decided to break it.I'm sorry if I passed on a wrong message..

“Dupe” doesn’t always mean financial.

Alright,thank you so much
Lesson taken I'll work by it
I appreciate.

When we do things we don't differently we get a different result.This particular writeup of mine got different kind of comments that I wanted to delete and stop writing but I can't please everyone I'll surely not be understood by many but for atleast reading thank you so much.
The things I picked from my journey and lessons learnt are;
Never ever do something against your will and inner intuition that thing doesn't lie
Don't just allow one random stranger talk to you and change your mind,always stand strong to whatever decision you make
Try not to travel when on your period/time of the month
Be nice to strangers that's the least you can do
Pray Pray pray!
Travel with a little extra cash so you don't get stranded
Don't take just any bus you see, it is very risky you can't complain because it wasn't at a registered park neither can you get a refund
Don't stand alone at an ungodly hour,its risky
Don't walk alone at an ungodly hour it's risky.
So here is the last part of the story
We kept moving slowly and finally we entered Kogi then Ondo. when we got to Ondo, I presumed we would use like maximum of 3hours and get to Osun but instead we used more than five hours,we had a stop over at Akoko something I can't remember the full name I still couldn't still eat anything.
I didn't eat anything except water I kept taking, we finally got to Owun and soon entered Oyo that was around eight pm in the evening already. My stomach started again and I went to the driver,they were like "corper na only you wetin you eat?" and funny enough I didn't eat anything it was very frustrating, he (driver) didn't stop till we got to Ibadan town where some persons were to alight,not quite long after then our luxurious bus got a slight scratch from an hummer bus and this our greedy driver alighted from the bus in the middle of the road where lots of trailers were passing through and slapped the owner of the bus,saying he had to pay for the damages and all he delayed us without a second thought and so people started alighting that he should instead just give us a fare that'll take us to Lagos we were no longer interested of course he wouldn't accept,I don't know what he concluded with the other bus driver I just knew he entered the bus and we continued, there was traffic, by past eleven pm almost 12 am we arrived Lagos, my Joy knew no bound I was tired.I was angry no one called me from home and made up my mind
I'll go home alone remember it was almost 12am,my other colleague has been using my phone to call her friends who were waiting for her berger where I wanted to alight from but had a second thought to drop at ojota since it was late the road should be free,when I alighted I was so relieved and took a danfo bus (yellow bus) to Maryland and I knew I was home, there was absolutely no bus and since my home was trek able (walk able) I kept going,seriously it was only Gods grace that saw me through home safely. Everywhere was empty. My colleague called me and from her I got to do her friends were attacked while still waiting for her,they were beaten that one got injured and their phones were taken from them.I wouldn't advise anyone to travel late especially alone,I might not be so lucky next time, don't take an unregistered bus,and beware of strangers!
This is the end and I really want to thank everyone for reading,leaving a comment it showed that I wasn't alone. I won't forget this journey anytime soon and would avoid any of such adventure again. Lol
Thanks for reading!

Glad that you made it home safely.

Seriously! Thank you so much for reading till the end����

It baffles me how supposed graduates write like they never saw the four walls of a primary school. Wrong spellings, poor punctuations and literary no paragraphs. See the way I tried to strain my eyes yet I couldn't read.

And no one should try to excuse this. You seriously need to work on yourself. People would tell you it doesn't matter, but it actually does.

Thank you!
