Home at last

A big thank you to all who had me in their prayers...

So I'm home now and updating..

When i got to Ore, after I dropped the ladies.. the car won't start again.. this time a fuse was burnt and smelling in the fuse box, while trying to fix it a driver approached me and offered to help. We both did our best, we used a tiny thread of wire to to rewire the burnt fuse.. the car started and immediately went off again.

I noticed something was causing the EFI fust to burn..well, he called an electrician who said he can only work the car tomorrow morning.. we had to push the car upslope to his workshop(I nearly fainted) at this point I was totally exhausted from stress and hunger.

I begged him that I had no cash on me.. he laffed and decided to help me that night. He traced a little and said it's a huge fault, and will cost me 5k to fix.. and na tomorrow morning..

He opened up another sienna parked in his workshop for me to sleep in till tomorrow.

Typing...

Thanks to everyone that contributed...
Im going to summarize here..

I'm home now and have got the car checked, turned out to be electrical faults affecting the gear solenoid. It's fixed now but I have gotten two dead tires..

I encourage everyone that's going through any challenge in life to Trust in God and hold on tight, it is this ups and down that makes life what it is.

Just keep pushing and Trusting God cause soon the storm is going to be over, and you want to make sure you are ready for the breakthrough.

Stay active
Stay blessed
Keep the fire burning.

You have no idea about what you're talking about. On average an independent long distance (cargo) drivers makes at least 120k weekly (should be more than that by now). The challenge is the "risk" on our roads.

The Op's situation is a bit challenging because he has run out of funds, but it's surprising because normally you get 50% when you load, and the remaining 50% when you've off-loaded, in situations like this, the client should've sent money to get the car fixed, I guess Op is driving a 2011-2016 Sienna, they're known for gear troubles that's why most drivers get theirs converted to manual.

Todate, I still believe that one isn't "a driver" if one isn't a long distance commercial driver (granted there are few Private drivers who do long distance at least 3x monthly)

Sense dey ya head, take bread and akara as gift.

This is quite an interesting thread. @OP at least now you know we still have good people in Nigeria and not what nairalanders try to portray that all Nigerians are bad. I am sincerely happy for you welcome home.
