I remember when I was in Final year at the
University of Lagos, I had just finished my second semester exam and
decided to go home to rest for a bit after exams. This faithful Saturday
morning, it had rained during the night and so I didn't see no reason
why I should not go home and enjoy my weekend. I put on one of my best
clothes and headed out. I boarded a Danfo bus heading to yaba, the road
was flooded and unfortunately for me, the drivers windows were out. I
sat down majestically at the front, on getting to WAEC busstop, a Sienna
car drove past on high speed, splashing water and soaking most of the
passengers in the bus. Through the back windscreen of the Sienna, I
could see the lady in the front seat turn back and was laughing
hysterically.
I had never felt so downcasted in my life as I felt at that moment. I thought it could never get worse until I got to ikeja and another slowpoke splashed water on me, I could feel the tears build up in my eyes as I wondered what I did wrong that day or if I was jinxed.
It's been 3years now since that fateful day, heading towards Lagos island now, I saw a Honda car with plate number LSR5... , zoom fast and splashed water on a cart pusher, the driver loved what he did and did it again to another passerby, I felt so angry in my spirit that I had to get the plate number of the car and write out this piece.
It's so bad that alot of car drivers feel they have made it in this world and that Pedestrains should be treated with disgust during raining season. This is a bad attitude and we must put a stop to this.
