My Danfo Experience- Part 2

Hey guys,

What's good guys? So good to be here blogging again. Thank you for the comments on the last post. They were truly amazing and I appreciate it again. Sorry for my inconsistency.. it's due to my lack of a functional laptop...lol... Can't wait to get my new one...just keep praying for me...

OK... so I have another danfo experience to share...

I boarded a bus to Oyingbo and as I was about to enter I asked the driver if it was health center or office (Don't worry. You cannot understand). Anyways, he told me it was health center and I entered. Immediately, an old woman behind started shouting that the driver told her it was office not health center. The man tried to explain to the woman but she would not listen . His wife, who was the conductor by the way tried  to explain to the woman but she took offense. She started speaking Yoruba, saying that she was 67 and that she should be respected and that the man has no respect... The husband and his wife told her to respect her old age and all and the next thing she started saying something that sounded like hoku, maka, mmukurinalo... It wasn't funny trust me... The man and his wife said her curses will not work on them... she said they were not curses that any good Christian who goes to Cherubim and Seraphim will know what she is saying... All these was said in Yoruba oh... The long and short of the gist is that they had to drop her off at a place to get another bus and they gave her money.

I have my reservations about what happened in the bus but I am not saying anything... the woman is 67... 3 years younger than my father...I think she deserves a little respect...

To more important information... YWAP Lagos is hosting a concert on Saturday called Mini... It is holding at Praiseville, Majoro Street, Yaba, Lagos and I really would love to see you there.

The Danfo Experience

If you dwell and reside in Lasgidi (Lagos), you should be familiar with the Danfo. It is a yellow and black bus that has been used as a major means of transportation for as long as I can remember. I know I have been in ALL forms of transport and the danfo always amazes me everytime I enter it. There is always something new you always encounter

It could be the woman who is complaing that she did'nt hear that the bus fare was N100 instead of N70 or the man who wants to beat up the conductor because the conductor has not given him his change. The one that is really crazy is seating with a FAT woman...OMG!!! The bus will be so tight... OR the market women transporting fish from Oyingbo (which is close to my house) to Ikeja or Iyana Ipaja. Mehn! I hate entering those kind of buses.

The danfo buses are very very very very not every lagosians dream trust me. The thing is we dont have a choice. We have to keep entering them, enduring the smell of fish, understanding with the fat lady who will refuse to move in the bus, forgive and forget our N10 with the bus conductor and run after the danfo when it is scarce...Hmmnnn...Enough said...I need to rest.... I am gonna go hustle for a Danfo by morning. I need my rest.

Trotcha!
