Day 1: Wednesday

I had to sleep over in one junction na so agbero say I go pay 5k for parking fee..
Mind you I had nothing with me, as I used all the money they paid me to buy fuel and two benjor tires before coming.

Next morning i gat look for rewire.. he finished his finding and it was fuse(it never crossed my mind)

He say his money na 5k..ahh! Just to change fuse . Well he later collect 3k..

Not long after I moved car gear box won't select gears again.. na so vigilante help me push car full of eggs... And got to a mod house along the road.

It was a young Akwa ibom guy and his junior brother, he was a mechanic who just finished learning work and just opened his own shop.. it was in the middle of nowhere. Literally sitting in front of a forest.

He started working on the car and suggested we washed the gear filter with fuel. We lost about 3litres of ATF while trying to open the filter compartment.

We finished washing the filter mounted it.. it was already around 7:30pm I moved,

Are you a graduate? How did your family accept your decision to be a driver instead of looking for white collar job?

Lol... This question funny I swear,..
This guy no from Nigeria

Or maybe na Yaradua be your president,

I'm an NCE holder my Oga, but the but the country hard, Masters holders never see job

Natural2Heal:

You get white collar job?
Driving motor wey dey pack eggs is honourable if it's a good company with good car.
Na cos of managing wey make op get car wey dey break down.
And you, no be buruntashi you dey sell?
Gworo teeth calling another man eleyin bi isale pot jollof. Pot calling kettle black.
Nigeria get poor economy and jobs scarce. Both white, black, red, green or blue collar job.

May Our Dear Lord dispatch His Angels

Sad. You are lucky to have even found the Akwa Ibom brothers. But I wonder what they are really doing there in the bush. It appears they don't even have patronage in that place but choose to risk it and live there. To what end?

I also fear for their safety. Ritualists can go and kill them in that place and no one will know what happened to them. I'm really curious about their rational of being in that place.

Kooldon:
May Our Dear Lord dispatch His Angels

Amen!

Thanks boss

CamelCase:

Amen!
Thanks boss

Bros where exactly are you right now?

Have you called the owner of the egg , so she can get alternative vehicle... This thread you are making is no excuse ... Logistics always have force majeure situations but you need to find solutions to deliver the goods. Time is money....

Nigeria is a disgrace



Imagine using sienna for food delivery

Sienna is sus no wonder popo day stop anybody way carry sienna

Why not get a van or medium truck


Bro literally is in the midst of kidnapper's den, I commend your bravery

Bringing this here has exposed you to attack and ritualists. U should have just taken the pictures and uploaded later.
God protect you

Kpele... Nigeria is becoming too tough..

Safe journey but when you're back, do a detail service for the car including that gear, you're getting a sign that shouldn't be ignored.

Exactly what i am thinking especially in the Western part of Nigeria.. a visitor living in a remote part of those States

Pls Mod can u put this to front page for him to get help pls.....

That Akwa Ibom guy is heaven sent to you, by now you would be planning how many crates of your eggs to sale for 20k to settle off agbero.

is that the issue at hand now?

Really gruelling experience. I was thinking you were out of this mess by now and sharing your experience. As soon as you said a road side mechanic rinsed your gearbox filter, I knew that vehicle isn't going anywhere. Sad to think you're still stuck there.

What are your plans? I believe you don't plan to start living there. Can you get another competent mechanic in the nearest town to come take a look at the car?

What is the owner of the merchandise saying? I hope those eggs don't rot under the hot sun. There's losses already as I can imagine. She should send another driver to save her goods before it becomes double debt on your head.

You can even follow the new driver back to town and get money and another technician to come back and look at the car. Better still get the driver to tow you and that car out of there.

Godspeed.
