I keep getting, “Amaka, why not move to Lagos? There are more opportunities there.” I hear you guys, but abeg… I’ve been to Lagos. And you see this my PH? I love it here. 😂 Because: I get to choose the kind of bus I want to board. If I enter your bus and the seat isn’t good, I can tell the driver to stop, come down and look for another bus. 😂 Bus fares are constant whether rain falls or not. If you increase your fare because of rain, I have good citizens that will happily tell you to go while cursing you under the rain, waiting for the next bus to come. Nobody is rushing to enter the bus, and even if they want to increase the fare it doesn’t pass 100 naira😭😂 so budgeting for transport for the month is actually possible. Nobody is rushing to anywhere. I can casually cross the road when is clear because the cars aren’t speeding to hell. 😂 I can stop a bus, look inside first. If the faces and seats aren’t friendly, I’ll simply tell the driver, “Oga, go.” 😭 Someone can stop two poles before my stop and I’ll still tell the driver to stop me at my own stop. And the driver will do it without complaining. I fit still dey inside my street, dey walk out slowly while the bus driver dey wait for me, shouting, “Mile 3! Mile 3!” 😂😂 I stayed less than a year in Lagos and came back with ulcer. No be me una go kill abeg. 😭 I know Lagos has more opportunities, and I’m not saying I’ll never go back. But for now? PH is heaven to me. I want to live long. 😂😂
