This morning I was going from my house to somewhere along DSC Expressway. Normally I pay between 150-200 naira for bike fare.
Today I stopped one bike and gave him the description, he charged me N120, I priced it down to N80 and he agreed. See me smiling that I have hit jackpot.
When I boarded the bike and we started moving, I regretted my life. The man was so slow, I mean extra ordinarily slow.
I bite hand, if I trekked I for reach were I dey go before this bike ooo. You need to see my face on top the bike, e wan break from too much squeezing.
Finally we got to the destination and I gave him the N80, I would have given him N60 self, N20 for time wasted(lol) because he made me get there late.
While I was paying him, I took a look at the bike. Chai! It was one old-rickety bike, no wonder it was so slow and the t-fare was cheap.
That's why my mumsy always says "CHEAP ARTICLE must always get comma".
Next time I would look well for sheke-new bike and analyse the whole bike reach the man's helmet sef before I enter. Even if he charges me N250 sef, I won't complain.
