Chai....... God is great



Yesterday I went out with a friend and the commercial bus I boarded, I noticed the driver kept checking the bus, but I just waved it off that there was nothing to be bothered about.
We had not even gotten to our destination only for us to realise that the back tyre had burst, and someone at the back seat kept beckoning to the driver to stop and park.
Apart from that, the bus was making a screeching sound, I just thanked God that the bus was not speeding, it would have been another story.
Some drivers can be so non-chalant, they don't care about human lives, I was just thinking to myself that does he think he was loading animals, he did not even bother to check properly if his vehicle was in proper condition and the funny thing was that he did not have any spare tyre.
I was like wow, Nigerians are the ones complaining about this and that, just a look at the driver will show how he does not value his fellow neighbour.
He is supposed to ensure that his vehicle is in proper condition but no he decides to manage it until he gets to his destination.
Then another way of getting to our destination was another thing but funny enough some cars were stopping to pick us up, some women were reluctant at first but they had no choice.
So, it remained like five of us and a jeep reversed to pick us up but one elderly woman kept insisting she wont board a vehicle in which she does not know the person and that she feels safe with boarding a commercial bus i.e danfo.
At the end of the day, four of us boarded and the elderly woman was only one left behind, she still insisted she was not going to follow us.
Eventually, the man dropped us at the nearest place for us to complete our trip.
I was scared at first entering the jeep but at the end of the day nothing bad happen.
I thought to myself what if the person was God sent and he is not one of those ritualists.
Or was the woman just being scared, even some of these commercial buses, they are not quite safe, you hear instances of people being kidnapped.
All in all only God protects whether you take commercial bus or not.
And always pray before you start your day.
Have a blessed weekend.
