30 MINUTES, Episode 1




Akure! Akure!! Akureee!!! One more chance!!!! Akure ooo!!!!! Conductor how much for Akure? I asked. Tha conductor replied, Oga, na 700naira.


I boarded tha bus, tha conductor was collecting our fares, after he finished, he went to call his boss who was tha driver.


His driver came, he asked, I hope nobody wan buy anything? Majority of tha passengers, echoed and replied that nobody wants to buy anything. Some shouting that to him to move tha bus.


As tha driver was about to start tha engine of tha bus, a man who sat at tha front seat beside tha driver said he wants to come down, he begged tha driver. He said he just got a text on his phone, that no need for him to go to Akure again.


As he came down of tha bus from tha front seat he sitted to collect his fare, I also came down from where I sitted to sit at tha front.


Now, one passenger is gone, tha conductor had to call for another passenger.


Few hours later, a pregnant woman came, and boarded. Tha bus is full again, tha driver who had waited patiently, was about to start that engine, tha engine of tha bus refused to start.


All tha whole passengers flared up, they kept ranting and ranting. Tha driver tired to trouble shoot tha fault to no avail, meanwhile tha whole passengers were told to come down and we were also told to board tha next bus waiting for its turn to be boarded.


Well all of us boarded tha next bus, I still maintained by sitting at tha front seat close to tha driver.


Few minutes after waiting for tha driver to come and move tha bus,  there was a huge argument between tha bus driver and other transporters in tha motor park. I kept checking my wristwatch, it is getting late.


Tha whole passengers got furious and started to come down one by one, few passengers went to them and know what was wrong and to calm them down. It was monetary issues that they were trying to settle among themselves.


Some minutes later, everything was settled, passengers boarded again, I still maintained my position of sitting at tha front seat, cos I didn't bother myself coming down when other passengers were coming down including tha pregnant woman.


As tha driver started tha engine, and as he was about to accelerate and move tha bus, a mad man just appeared from no where in front of tha bus.
