(By Nkechi Bianze) – Whenever I'm in Nigeria and I'm traveling a long distance on public transport, one of my ultimate priorities is
MY COMFORT. I sometimes go as far as paying for two seats, one for myself and
the other seat for MY HANDBAG.
I
once paid for THREE seats on "God is Good motors", traveling from
Benin to Lagos. One seat for me, one for my box and the other for my handbag.
I
was traveling one day from Asaba to Abuja, I paid for two seats. I had a small
box (handbag size) and my handbag. I kept my small box and handbag on one, and
sat on the other. Then less than 30minutes into the journey, this woman with
three children, all over the age of three, asked me if I could carry my box and
handbag so that one of her children would seat there, because they wanted to
sleep through the journey.
