when we meet someone for the first time....we don't talk and talk and talk rather we introduce ourselves and ask a simple question then wait for the person to answer.

With the answer we give a 5mins talk then give out a tract or awake or magazine, for the person to read and gather his/her questions for a next time which is called return visit.
OK ma'am. I didn't mean to generalize it, but my encounter with one made me recount all these.

southniyikaye:
NO FRONT SEAT NOT GOING TYPE>>>I actually fall in this category. If it remain just one passenger for the bus to move, if I don't get a front seat, I won't leave with it. I prefer to be the first in another bus just to occupy the front seat.

THE BRAGGING ONES >>>they either have small change in their pocket and they will like to intimidate people inside the bus. Do you know who I am? Is it because I decide to take public transport is that why you think we are mates?
And once some of them is sitting close to a fine babe in the bus, they are either calling OTEDOLA OR DANGOTE for a meeting
They are either arranging one nonsense unreal multimillion naira deal with a fictious person.
They will make every other person in the bus feel inferior with their calls.
If you get money true true, why you dey inside public transport?

THE FARTERS( MESS MESS PEOPLE) This set of people don't deserve to make heaven. (joke).. They might have probably taken agbo jedi (herb) and taken beans the previous day. If they want to release the atomic Hiroshima, they will concentrate on something else so you won't be able to relate the mess to their facial expression. Only God knows what that driver took and I was beside him..each time he wants to troway, he will hold his phone and get ready to make a call. It got to a time we have to tell him heeesir, pls e lo yagbe.(pls visit the toilet, we will wait.) na me feel am pass cos I was sitting beside him..

THE "I WANT TO PUPU" TYPE===This set of people will never do their thing in their houses before boarding a bus. Every 20 to 30 mins, they are either shouting "I go pupu inside bus if una no allow me come down or driver I go piss inside your bus...

THE CALLERS>> It will get to a point in time and you begin to wonder if they work with a telecommunication company. They can make calls all through a 5 hours journey....

THE SLEEPERS>>>> Shey you see these types, immediately the bus moves, they are already snoring and dem go dey use their own disturb you. They will just put on their earpiece and piam, they've started sleeping and resting their head or whole body on you as if you be durable foam..

THE OPPORTINIST>> It is either these ones don't have complete transport fare or they only have the exact amount that will take them to their destination.
They won't have call card
No money to buy eggroll or bold ginger.
Bros abeg you get card for phone? I Wan call my host.
Bros abeg hungry dey worry me
Aunty pls don't be angry o, can you help me flash this number?
If dem give dem opportunity, they will try to sit on the engine to avoid paying transport fare...

THE DISTURBERS >>> These ones are either telling you "aunty abeg help me to hold this child I want to adjust.
They will pay for one seat and lap 4 children. Immediately the car moves, all the children will automatically find a space to sit dem go come turn you to sardine untop your money o..
They are either shouting "junior stop it, this aunty will beat you if you spoil his bag o.
As they are admonishing one child with a heavy slap, the other one is already receiving heavy knock on the head then all the pickin go begin shout at the top of their voice..

-THE EATERS >>> you will want to believe these ones have not eaten anything for almost a year.
As they are buying eggroll, they are buying drinks. In the space of 4hrs journey, they would have bought almost 20 different types of food...
They can eat anything.. And their types plenty for nairaland, na dem dey chop snake, rat, periwinkle, mouse, toad, chameleon etc.. Any small thing, THEY ARE ALREADY SHOUTING PEPPER SOUP HAS LANDED....

NOTE--we are actually the architect of our problems sometimes. I was travelling from osogbo to Lagos on Thursday morning, I got to the park around 5am and could you believe the transport fare was 2500 the previous day being Wednesday and on Thursday it was already 3000. We asked why, they said they've increased fuel price even when the pump price haven't been adjusted and I asked the attendant, she said she sold it for the driver at the normal price and they are already increasing transportation price for something they've not implemented..
the ogogoro drinking crew,the will buy merry Jedi or captain jack or balomor or castalor.they will put in their pockets and they will be drinking it .their own mouth smell pass pupu

My type wasn't there..... If I'm going on any journey.. Any journey ever... I must have my earpiece..

I keep a straight face and plug in my earpiece when the journey starts..... Even friends I travel with already know and we all have headsets or earpieces on... We legit ignore each other.

I don't wanna talk to anyone and nobody should talk to me.....

The only time you'll hear me talk is probably if the driver is being reckless.

Are you a short person? 'cause i don't think a tall person will not stretch his legs in 10hrs sitting alone. I sit in a vehicle for 2 straight and i don't feel my legs anymore.
6'7 ft... All depends on the seat you choose.

Early millennium I was always on d road from enugu to Lagos to obitsha, Abuja nasarawa, oji river and akwa ibom

Mostly overnight journeys and trust me, traveling is fun esp by the window side of chisco, ekene or .... Forgotten the 3rd one

The fun is fellow students we meet and business men who are hardened travelers and experienced police escorts who knows robbers tricks.

It was full of life experiences and I learnt patience, courage, bravery and tact been a constant traveler. The feeling of landing in a new place, new food, strange language and the locals staring at you is thrilling

But all that is gone, traveling by road is now a sure way to meet death.

May God save this country

Those that will raise controversial topic, then better argument go start inside bus, e.g PDP vs APC wahala, Chealse vs Man U analysers, Biafra vs Nigeria preachers, the father of them all =Buhari vs Nigerians both home and away.

The talkatives

I was once in a bus from Akure to Lagos and there was this man that had started talking even from the park before the bus started moving, this man never stopped till Lagos, it got to a point that we all used earpiece, even those that didn't have initially bought at Ore.

The driver started singing because there was no sound system in the bus.

I belong to the front sit, no go type. Due to my height and long legs, i usually don't find comfort when sitting at the back.

Same here.
I was punished the day I travelled from pH city to Ibadan. It was a 12hrs journey.
I sat at the back seat.
I cried bitterly that day

I don't feel i belong to any of this categories. I'm an introvert so i don't talk or try to mingle in the bus but i don't plug in my earpiece either. I don't listen to music or watch movies or chat. I don't go near my phone during any journey cos it makes me nauseous. I hardly sleep when travelling. I don't eat or drink when travelling cos my bowel is very sensitive. I don't urinate or poo when travelling cos I'm careful about my fluid intake a day before the journey. I don't take any sort of stroll unless to get down to allow another passenger alight then i go back in immediately. I don't receive calls at all...i specifically ban my family from calling me when I'm on a journey and my friends know better than to pester me with calls.
I don't like front seat but i go early to the park just for the window seat so i can control the window (cos too much breeze freezes me up). I dress in a way to keep off cold cos i do get cold easily. Most time when i wake up as early as 6am, i feel cold. Normally i hate taking pics not to talk of taking pics in a public transport.

Which category do i belong to?

Who was he talking to?

Anybody and himself.

Initially he was getting responses, at some point when he wouldn't stop, the responses did. So he faced the driver but that one started singing loudly.


The man didn't stop, without response or not, he will still talk to u, even tapping u.

He was a real nuisance

I can remember completing the transport fare for a guy 2 yrs ago on a trip to Lagos only for him to be one of the people who engineered the driver to stop in Ore to eat. On getting there, I was shocked to see him spending money on food, drink and snacks like someone with plenty to spare.

Will I fall for such trick again? Well, I'll think carefully, and make sure they're not a trader like the man was.

If you wake up around 6am and feel cold it is a sure sign that cold entered your body while you slept. I know because, i was once like that. The nausea part also stems from the cold, or you are actually sick, again i know because i used to feel the same for a long time.
