Am really pissed at the moment.i just got cheated of my N10 from a bus driver.No,seriously,the money is not the issue here but the fact that i was defrauded.Its enough for me to seethe with rage.See me see wahala o.
The guy called the fare...50box,and we all entered the damn rickety bus.Just then, one agbari woman heard another driver calling 40box and told our driver to make it 40box too otherwise we would all leave the bus...the man just slammed the door.
To be honest,i had no intention of coming down.I was thoroughly zonked.What after a hard day at work and walking some distance to get to the bus stop.Come.On. For over 10box, i would not even shift...but there was a consensus about the fare -i assumed and so, we took off.
The annoying thing is that every other person had been paying 40box and 'cos i didnt have change ,when i got down,i gave him 50box,the guy just put the car into gear and zoomed off. I was too shocked 'cos he caught me by surprise.Seriously.I gave a late 'ah'ah..my change?' Can you imagine? I could hear the growing protests of the other passengers as he zoomed off...but then he was gone and so was my 10box.
pLs,pls and pls ,i need to state again that its not the 10box involved here, but every other thing.Hell, i could give him 10box and more but hello....that wasnt d plan.The dumbass thought he was a smart ass.
My first instinct was to jump back into the bus.Seeing it had gone far tho, a bike would have been another option,but i decided against it.You know those kindda regretful decisions we make when we are mad -decisions such as paying a bike man 100box to chase a driver who defrauded you of 10box.
But i wish it were Lasgidi...that bus wont move 'cos you'l see enough people who would swallow panadol for your headache.One person go just crase,tell driver,'ogbeni mu shangi fun gal iyen'*wink*wink*Really,naijans can be nice sha o.As a lady,i get 2 c those 'voltronic' actions once in a while.Dem go jus vex on ur behalf.
But dis driver pained me o.I just had to exercise self control&immediately quell a rising anger.Then i did what my ma does whenever she feels she 's been cheated..which is a lotta times i might add..u know those days ur ma wil send u on an errand and when u come back,1st thing she'l ask is 'how much?' and when u tell her...she'l go'AH..THEY CHEATED YOU'...ok,lets not deviate.so on those occasions ,maybe, when she feels one aboki has gbabd 50box xtra from the onions she bought at 200 instead of 150, she'l go...'God wil collect my money from him' whether he eventually does..i really dont knw.All i know is it provides a certain comfort knowing d 'defrauder' wont go scotfree.
Just like lag,omo, LASTMA wil gbab that driver,he will pay 20ton.LASTMA ke?Anytime i get to drive in lag, i always dey hold 'just in case' money.Just in case mo gba one way,just in case mo se wrong crossing,just incase mi o ni complete papers..plus including fire extinguisher,extra tyre ati C-caution...
But really,i know my pastor will say its not at all times you should fight for your right. Infact as christians, we should LET GO.kai..its hard o,but then u shd.u shd take d higher road.be d bigger man.will ur emotions to subjection.
I'l giv a perfect analogy later on.but as it happened..i didnt jump into d bus, i dint stop an okada to 'pursue that bus',i dint raise my voice and utter **#&%§...i just shook my head,walked away and talked about it.....with you.
