He arrived safely in Lagos and applauded the ultra-modern Pedestrian Bridge at Berger. Suddenly someone calls his attention….

Agbero: oh! Eleyi o ma mo nkankan…You better shine your eye! This is our Lagos. If you no comot here awon boys asa re se film fun e. “If you don’t take off, you will see yourself back in your village”
Boy: Talking to himself… Haha, our Lagos; so everybody owns this Lagos? This Lagos sha… I beg let me leave; I can’t afford to return to the village.
Conductor: Oshodi Oshodi ooo
Boy: What is this one speaking? Conductor, where are you going?
Conductor: Abi eti eleyi di ni (It seems you are deaf) Continue chanting Oshodi Oshodi o
Boy: Wait wait, I beg, I am going to Oshodi
Conductor: Oya enter… Mi oni change o, wole pelu change o

Conductor: Oje bi… Owo mi da “I hear you… Wey my money”
As they approach 1st Bus stop the boy paid #500 while some passengers alighted
Passenger: Owa o, Afe bole o… “I am stopping here”
Conductor: Driver, owa o, jekan bole “Please, allow them to come down”
Conductor: Oya gbe body e…

(Conductor asked the boy another transport fare)
Conductor: Ogbeni, wey my money
Boy: Conductor take.
The boy paid #500 on each bus stop till they reached Oshodi-Oke without inquired for balance. Only God knows how many Bus-Stop from Berger to Oshodi-Oke.
