'Am I a thief?'

'If I am, the conductor stole from me too...'

You all want to bring down the blog with views. Last week was something else, I am so stressed out. The journey to work tires me. I don't want to talk about the fact that your favourite baby girl spends over 20k on Tfare every month. If 20k is removed from my salary, how much do I have left? So, why you are all over me because you think I'm rich, think again.

I'll just let the sad event that happened yesterday slide. Dear Mr Chika, thanks for everything.

Hey guys, what's up? Happy new week. How have you all been? I hope you are guys doing great. You all know that I deserve to be a danfo ambassador because I enter a danfo everyday. If you don't know what danfo means, ask google. It's fun sometimes, but I didn't have fun last Friday when a woman imposed her daughter on me. I mean, I was carrying my handbag and my koi-koi shoe bag. To make matters worse, we were supposed to sit four-four per row, but welcome to Ikeja Along where you have to squeeze yourself and sit five-five. In fact, they are not even begging you to get on the bus. So, she told me to help her carry her daughter and she proceeded to sit behind me. She was carrying another baby. I didn't want to complain sha. There was also this 'plus-sized' lady beside me who dropped her plus-sized hand on me. I should have a segment for my danfo experience.

Let's get straight to the matter. I was in a bus last week and we were having this conversation. One of the passengers was talking about his experience with a conductor who made away with his #900 change. I've had that sad experience once from Yaba to Obalende. The problem is that this guy told us that he has been collecting extra money from the conductors since that incident. He lies to the conductors that they are owing him when they are not. Everyone in the bus was in support because they could relate. I can relate totally too, but I was the only one with a different view. The guy had to ask me if I think he's a thief.

Two wrongs don't make a right. In Lagos, you are going to experience crazy events. These conductors will make your life miserable if you are carless like me, but that doesn't mean you should dupe them. I mean, the conductor you are duping might be innocent. This might be his only source of livelihood. Dear blog readers, what do you think about this issue? Is he right for duping the conductors consistently? Do the conductors deserve it? Have you ever had an ugly experience with any conductor? Have you ever left your change? How did you feel? The comment section belongs to you all.

Tomorrow is Monday and I've not had enough rest. Anyway, see you guys at the comment section. Muah!

I don't know how they squander the money. The most irritating part is the fact that they use the money to buy this cheap alcohol in sachets. Early in the morning, somebody is smelling of cheap alcohol. May God help them sha. Even when they have change, they still argue that they don't have. It's tiring abeg.
