My Trip to work.

With news of all the killings/Rape of young girls in Nigeria, only God can save us ooooo. This morning i was lazy to drive to work, so i decided to take a regular bus. I got up early got early got ready and went to the bus stop to board the bus. At the busstop i boarded a full bus to obalende, unknown to me i was in a bus that had passengers for every bus stop from lekki to obalende. I endured it while i counted how much time i had lost boarding a bus. I got to obalende and heard a bus shouting "oshodi" i was still taking my time to board when i realized everyone was running i quickly jumped in and the bus took of. Then i realized that the Law enforcement agencies where chasing him because he was illegally parked.
While on the bus the man on the tail end refused to move, so i had to squeeze in front of him to get to the vacant seat. I didnt have to ponder on what happened i was more interested in the bus geting to its destination on time, when i noticed that someone was starring intently at me and taking in all my features i looked at him and he looked away. I smiled continued looking at the road as the bus driver made his way slowly and stopped at every bus stop to pick and drop passengers. I kept on praying that he will take the expressway to oshodi, which is the shortest way to our destination, but he wouldnt. If possible , he would have gone through the streets to look for passengers i was getting pissed when i noticed that someone was still looking at me. I looked at him and he quickly looked away i was now taken aback and concious of what was happening.  I pulled my dress further down and started holding my mettalic flask. I noticed that he wasnt stopping in his stare quest, and the bus driver was having fun taking a long route.
I said a quick prayer and hoped that i will get of this bus soon. I continued to concentrate on the road when i heard the snap of the camera. I turned and realized that the human being had taken a picture of me. I looked at him sternly and ordered that he deleted it. He opened the multemedia on the phone scrolled down to video clicked it and stopped it and told me he was done. I was now angry and i asked him if he thought i was a fool i asked him to delete it immediately before i loose my temper, he was about to start his nonsense when i grapped his phone and deleted my picture. He then said to me, " You no go collect your change" and i asked him if it was his bussiness if i wanted the change or not. He kept quiet and fondled with his hand through out the ride. A little before the oshodi bridge, i got of the bus and was i glad to be out.
Hmm it was the longest 1hr ride in my life.
