We reach portharcourt and i stopped for where i go see motor go Aba city, i cross to the other lane with my garri even though wheelbarrow pushers they disturb me make them help me carry my load, i nor gree oh i dont have money to pay so i took it by myself.
I stood for bus stop they wait for all those agberos boys wey call themselves drivers, e nor take long before i saw one wey they go oshisioma for Aba so i enter inside and the fee na 400 naira, as usual the bus they rough with old glass wey no they even screw self, the seat na joko once you sit down five minutes your yash don they pain you be that, no side mirrors and no horn, the bus is painted yellow, is hardly you see nice bus going to Aba except all those stingy car owners wey nor they gree help fellow country man except you be find babe, well i nor blame them sha very soon me too go they drive my own hummer jeep. i dont even know whats wrong with the driver because him they drive nonsense see as him they speed as if na him papa get road, the one wey they fear me na the way him they overtake big big motor, and our bus no get side mirror or horn oh, i just they pray for my mind make we quick reach Aba Make i disappear commot for this yeye motor.
Conductor: Back seat bring your money.
