As you know,
commuting in Lagos especially on working days is not an easy one. From standing
at the bus stop for hours, to running from one point to another to get on bus.
Most times, the savior of the day is always the long buses which can either be
Molue or BRT. They are saviors because, they move more passengers and of
course, the price is cheap. Commuters who ply Lagos-Abeokuta exp. way,
Lagos-Ikorodu, Obalende/CMS etc are no ignorance of this facts. Well, been a
regular customer (make God answer prayer, make I buy my ride soon), I am able
to draw out some funny characters I have met on these buses.
1. The Pervert:
These are mostly men but sometimes, the female folks too can be crazy. These
dudes have enough money to get on a small bus even if the fee is doubled the
usual price or chatter a plane to their destination if possible, but they
won’t. They get to the bus stop on time but would rather wait till the bus is
filled and join the standing committee. They immediately stand behind a lady
with big bum and rub their kini on
her, thereby releasing their thick akamu. Most times, they don’t escape without
receiving a factory reset slap.
