I had a stressful and scary journey from Kano to Abuja

in OCD2 years ago

This is a festive season where most people would have to travel to see their loved ones and also celebrate the festive season which is the Christmas and new year. I had a stressful journey yesterday because presently am doing my NYSC at Kano state in Nigeria, so I needed to travel home for the festive period to celebrate with my family.

Though my family stays at Lagos and from Kano to Lagos is a two days journey and that kind of journey looks stressful for me to embark on knowing fully well how the country insecurity issue is going on at the moment, so I decided to cut the journey short to meet my relatives at Abuja since that is some how close to Kano but a seven(7) hours journey, so I made up my mind to spend my Christmas and new year there.

My journey from Lagos to Kano was more stressful because I spent two days on the road and got to Kano state 12am knowing fully well that I don't know anybody there since it's my first time in the North, so I decided not to experience such but to cut the journey short. I left my place at Kano state around 8am because I have calculated it that it's a seven(7) journey and I will definitely get to Abuja by probably 5pm latest. The bus got filled up around 9am so we left Kano state by 9:15am.

The journey was kind of slow because I don't know if it's the driver or the bus that had issue but we all kept mute since the bus was moving. The insecurity issue at the moment is very scary especially the route we had to follow because recent scenario had occured with kidnappers terrorizing the area and also bandits as well, that's one of the main reasons I travelled earlier to get to Abuja in time.

The road especially kaduna, we were told that as of two days ago there's was serious riot around that area that will should be careful. After hearing all this our bus broke down along that axis damn! and the place doesn't look nice at all because all the areas were covered with bush, no network and no moving bus or vehicle was willing to stop because everyone is a suspected suspect. We all had our minds blew away because we know how terrible that area is at the moment.

The bus refused to start and there's no network to communicate for an assistance and this happened around 2pm. Any bus we try to stop all fall on deaf ears because no one was willing to help nor stop. However, along the line we saw I guy who was on bike and he came around to ask the problem and eventually he took the driver to a nearby place to get someone who will repair the bus.

We waited for like an hour before they came back and it two like another two ours before the bus could start again. We were already in fear but still had to give thanks to God because the bus was working fine again, so we left around 5pm and I got to my destination around 10:20pm. what a stressful and scary journey but am happy because nobody got hurt and we all got home safe.
