RUN!

One thing constant about Nigeria is that; nothing is normal. The slight difference from who the society call normal person and a mad man is mostly in the dressing (which e don dey choke sef this days🤣🤣🤣🤭). It is very easy to pretend you are normal but this country called Nigeria can't make that last and before you know it, you're already trying to go back to default mode🤭🤣🤣🤭 That's why you'll see a man on suit and tie arguing with a danfo conductor in a traffic, abi the case of two people verbally abusing themselves in a bus with no one even looking at them, why? Na normal thing (e dey happen steady🤣🤣🤣)
 
In Nigeria a lot of things had already become a norm, you don't need to question it, you just roll with it. The simple rule is; once a large number of people start doing it, do it too... Lobatan🤣🤭🤭. But if you get coconut head and you think that shouldn't be, try not running when you see other people running on the road... I bet adrenaline go choke you 🤣🤣🤣. The funny thing about running on the road in Nigeria is that an average person who goes out will experience at least one. Although most times you discover that the run was not worth it, but that's after running like 600m only to discover the people running were running towards something or it was just a prank. Whether it's worth it or not, what do you do when almost 30people are running towards you, all at once? Run!🤣🤣🤣
Let me tell you a lagos story
Back home, I was like my dad's PA because on several occasions, I do most of his going around with him or for him. So, on this fateful day, I was doing the running around for him and I was to pick up something on his behalf at oshodi. As close as going from shomolu to oshodi could look, one truth is that; going out in lagos is not for the faint hearted. Overcoming dramas with danfo; holding your peace not to change it for fellow passenger in a bus who sits like they're in a private car; staying alert so you don't walk back home (if you know you know🤣🤣🤣🤭); and at the end of it all, body pains from bad road couple with bad bus driven by bad danfo drivers🥺😟😒.
Fast forward to a couple of hours later, I was coming back to shomolu. To go to shomolu from oshodi, you need to drop at onipanu bus-stop first, then take a bike to shomolu. So, I was standing at the bus-stop waiting for bike and suddenly like 20people started running towards me (koju ma ri'bi gbogbo ara ni Medicine). By the time two other people standing beside me had started running too, dem no dey tell person, my brother I ran🥺🤣🤣😀. Before I knew it, we were almost 50 already running. The unfortunate run took less distance for some than others, but for me, I had almost gotten to jibowu bus-stop before I realized I was the last man running. Apparently, the people who had started the run had started running to catch up with their staff bus which had stopped, a bus-stop farther than usual. Although I ended up spending double money, but in Nigeria that's not a lesson to learn, once you sha see them running again, run! e fit be Desmond Elliot wey dey come, my dear, Run!🤣🤣🤣
