Ikeja to Ogba

I actually did not plan to write again today but what’s the point of not sharing this.

I left work a bit late today say around past 5, I got to Ikeja at say 6, it was a comfortable ride thanks to my Superior that dropped me off. I usually get a Tricycle (keke Napep) to Ogba from Ikeja underbridge, the first one by the way, that’s under the bridge that leads to the Airport.

First of all the queue for the tricycle was so long, I mentally prepared myself for the wait, but my brain had no idea what was coming, after waiting for almost an hour, the person behind me was as impatient as I was and we both left the line to walk a little further and she offered her umbrella.

If I knew I was going to end up walking with my new friend to Ogba, I would have gone on the bike who was going to take a passenger to Ogba for 500 Naira or maybe not 🤷🏾‍♀️

We started walking and soon realized why the queue was very long and why there weren’t any tricycles, the whole road was blocked.

I left work at past 5 and got home to 9. This is Nigeria and this is how we live but even though half of Lagos was walking, I feel like the only one who made a friend who not only motivated me through the walk but was such a bad ass marathon partner.
