The Lagos Experience: Going Home in yellow and black

It finally hit 5:00pm!!!! Guess what time it was? Yes u got it! Closing time!!!! I packed my bag and headed home...

Unfortunately for me, my office is located at the in depth of an estate which hasn't been well developed 

Loool. There is no dream that would make me find a cab here. I had to walk down to the main junction which was a 20 mins walk. On my way I saw this...
Something about this picture makes me want to get wrapped on my mothers arms. It was a very beautiful sight that portrayed love, innocence and happiness.
Moving on, I finally got to the junction. I saw a lot of busses and I decided to take one home. "Ikeja?"    "Yes ikeja"   "Oya enter"..... There was excitement in my heart! Busses aren't bad at all!!!!
Okay, a little bit annoying but it's really not as horrible and nasty as everyone claims.
I got carried by the beautiful street arts, the traffic traders and advertisements that I forgot to drop at my stop (not like I even knew it was my stop). The bus conductor asked me where I'm dropping and I said ikeja. "But we are already in ikeja!!! You no sabi road?" He asked. "no o I no sabi road. U fit direct me?". After I got my direction, I headed for it.

Going in that direction, I asked the first set of people where I could find maruwa (keke na pep) going to the street where I stay, I got directions again!

Finally!!!!! I found them!!!
And I got onboard one of them. They are really scary but more fun than the bus. Lol. This is what inside looked like 
Lots of people prefer to call it tricycle but I like keke better. This old keke driver was totally gangster. He was so rough and kept on using swear words. This was my favorite view
I loved today!!!!!!!!!! 
I really loved today. Gaining experience is probably the best thing that can happen to anyone depending on how you choose to interpret those experiences.
