I am sitting in a bus heading to Ibadan, typing this post that was meant to be published yesterday. Why??
Simply put, I was fagged out and I went off like a light bulb immediately my body touched my bed. I was very busy getting ready for my trip: House chores, completing unfinished tasks and packing. So, this post is my Ulog for yesterday, published today ( I am lazy and I know it, no one else should remind me though😑😑).
Nibo lo Fe kin sun si? If we divide this seat into two, you take up more than half of it!.... These were the words a woman seating in front of me in a bus, yelled at her seat partner when she was asked to shift because the seat was too tight. How did we get here? Let me start from the beginning...
Yesterday, the first thing I did was dash to the SLOT outlet at Ikorodu garage to repair my phone which had developed a fault the day before (for my non Nigerian readers, SLOT is a very large retail store for phones) and my phone was repaired in no time and without any cost because the fault developed during it's warranty period.
This put me in quite a good mood and I boarded a bus home. This bus was really cramped, the way most buses plying the Ikorodu-Ogijo axis usually are (if you know, you know). However I wasn't disturbed by this, because, like I said earlier, I was in a good mood. I simply sat on the cramped seat and was pressing my phone, waiting for the bus to get full.
While happily waiting, a really huge woman entered the bus and sat in front of me. Now, after her, the seat was supposed to accommodate 2 more people (according to the driver of the bus), but after the 3rd person sat, there was no more space left.
The driver was going to have none of that and he insisted that 4 persons must be on that seat, this caused an argument to ensue between the occupants of the seat and the driver, with the driver making indirect comments at the huge lady. While all this happened, I was at the back, laughing to myself and pressing my phone.
The huge lady, having hit a brick wall with the driver, asked the lady in her left to shift a bit, and then came the angry retort: "Nibo lo fe kin sun si?, if we divide this chair into two, you would take up more than half of it! .... After this reply, nobody else said anything in the bus, the huge lady jejely paid for two seats, while I was at the back choking back my laughter and wondering to myself :
