Bus don full, with his roughed
voice.
His boss olori oko replied as he puffed smoke out of his mouth and nose like a car silencer that has engine problems. Okay! I am coming.
On tha other side in tha motor pack, passengers grumbling, shouting and asking at tha conductor, where is tha driver of this bus? Some asking him to return their fare. Tha conductor kept telling them to calm down, his boss will soon come to tha bus and drive.
Later, bus driver showed up. Some passengers yelling at him, for keeping them so long in tha bus. For what reason will you keep us waiting? Bus driver didnt even say anything, but tha conductor kept telling them that it is enough.
Driver entered tha bus, he ignited tha engine, tha engine started at once, HUMMM! HUMMMM!! HUUUUUUUMMMMM!!! he kept accelerating tha engine for some seconds and shifted tha gear, and zoomed off. Off they go.
After few miles on tha go, a young lady's phone rang, she picked. Hellooo! I am on my way to Abuja, replying her caller on phone, and she ended tha call.
Other passengers were shocked, a lady voiced out, Driver! Driver! Please were we dey go? Conductor replied her, madam you no know say na Akute you dey go? Other passengers laughed. So tha young lady hissed at them.
Tha journey continued as tha driver kept driving, driving and driving. As they kept on with tha journey, they were incepted by policemen at tha check point. Tha driver slowed down, he stretched his hands out towards tha policeman that stopped him and gave him a hundred naira note, tha policeman dipped it into his pocket, and signaled him to move and keep driving.
Tha driver zoomed again.
Few miles from tha check point, there was a blast, tha rear Tyre was punctured. Tha Driver struggling with tha steering, passengers screaming in tha bus. Some shouting, Jesus! Jesus!! Some shouting, Eewo! Eeeewo!! Some who are muslims shouting and chanting arabic verses from tha quran, while tha driver was still struggling with his steering, tha bus moving from left to right, right to left. After few minutes of struggling by tha driver, shouting and chanting by tha passengers was still going on, tha bus finally slowed down and tha bus came to an halt.
Conductor oooo! Condor!! open tha door! Open ooo!! Passengers ranting and shouting. Quickly he opened tha door, thank you Jesus! Some shouting while some who are muslims, were chanting allahu akbar!!
Passengers were struggling to come down of tha bus in a rush.
Tha driver had come down, some passengers kept asking for their fare, some blaming tha driver, saying to him that all what you people know is to collect money but won't have your vehicles in good condition.
Tha driver didn't say anything to tha passengers but tha conductor was tha one calming them down. Leave them jaare! Go and carry out tha extra tyre! He told tha conductor, while loosing tha bolts and jacking up tha bus.
Few minutes later, tha tyre was changed with tha spare one, passengers kept mumbling, mumbling and mumbling, while tha journey continues.
As journey continues, a man who was sitting next to tha driver in tha front, his phone rang, Hello! He started his phone conversation, okay no problem, that money is ready, I mean cash. Yes I mean it, 1.5million naira. By tomorrow morning come to my house. He continued talking, talking and talking. Later, bye bye. He ended his conversation on phone.
A few minutes later, same man started a political conversation with tha driver at tha front seat where he sitted, he and tha driver kept discussing and discussing till their discussion got to tha point of them discussing about politicians not different from armed robbers, tha driver said he wished they are arrested and got killed, tha man replied, yes ooo, I really concur with what you have just said sir.
An old woman who was tha last passenger to board tha bus from tha Park, she too added her voice to tha conversation, by saying tha parents of those armed robbers think they have children. They don't have children, it pays not to have children rather than giving birth to armed robbers. They should be killed.
Some passengers have slept, few still awake but this conversation kept going on between tha driver, tha man sitted next to him and tha old woman.
They kept discussing, when a guy sitted next to tha old woman said to her, mama you mean all this thing you dey talk? Tha old woman replied, yes I mean it, once they are caught, they should be killed. Tha guy made a smile and signaled other guys.
