My Rain Experience
It was exactly a week now when it rained cats and dogs like it was never going to rain another.The rain started last Monday and it continued on Tuesday. I was to run a errand for one of my boss whose office is at Victoria Island. I left my office in the rain to clarify some things at UBA where i had gone the day before after which i headed for GTB then i left for his place at Standard Chartered opposite the Galleria. When i was done with him, the rain had increased at what i can call geometric progression to when i left from my place. I couldn't stay, waiting for the rain for subside cos i never told anyone in office i was going out, so i had to get into it, i made for a bike and when eventually one will stop, it happened to be an Hausa guy.
I told him Sterling Towers (Marina) and he said =N= 180, quickly i said =N= 150 and he was like how does he get there, i offered to tell him to cut road and enter into Broad Street through TBS but he said he'll make for another route, i quickly made for it and off we went. The rain had gotten so much at this time and i was just blaming the guy for not taking the route i recommended when he zoomed past the place and mounting the bridge.
While on the bridge, i was looking at our building as if i should just jump down and run towards it but i was on the bridge. We got to the exit for Marina and this guy just speed off and i shouted to know where he was taking me, he said he'll go take some place, and the anger in me grew the more but i was so sure he can't abduct me but of course i could not help my situation.
Soon he got down at the exit for UBA house and headed backwards to Marina, suddenly as we got to Oando filling station opposite GTB at Martins Street stopped and said that was where he was going, you should know what my reaction will be and then he called another bike after arguing for a while, i gave him a =N=200 note after which he settled me with =N=50, paid the other bike and i left with the new one.
On getting to CMS, this other one had a flat tire, at this stage i was burning and while i was still waiting for what next to do, another bike came to him, you need to know how i shouted at him, i just told the one who got me to the place to just leave and i went with my foot-wagen, i got back to office so wet, it was a bitter experience.
