Why are people so Angry?.... My first ever ulog
I am sitting in a bus heading to Ibadan, typing this post that was meant to be published yesterday. Why??
Simply put, I was fagged out and I went off like a light bulb immediately my body touched my bed. I was very busy getting ready for my trip: House chores, completing unfinished tasks and packing. So, this post is my Ulog for yesterday, published today ( I am lazy and I know it, no one else should remind me though😑😑).
Nibo lo Fe kin sun si? If we divide this seat into two, you take up more than half of it!.... These were the words a woman seating in front of me in a bus, yelled at her seat partner when she was asked to shift because the seat was too tight. How did we get here? Let me start from the beginning...
Yesterday, the first thing I did was dash to the SLOT outlet at Ikorodu garage to repair my phone which had developed a fault the day before (for my non Nigerian readers, SLOT is a very large retail store for phones) and my phone was repaired in no time and without any cost because the fault developed during it's warranty period.
This put me in quite a good mood and I boarded a bus home. This bus was really cramped, the way most buses plying the Ikorodu-Ogijo axis usually are (if you know, you know). However I wasn't disturbed by this, because, like I said earlier, I was in a good mood. I simply sat on the cramped seat and was pressing my phone, waiting for the bus to get full.
While happily waiting, a really huge woman entered the bus and sat in front of me. Now, after her, the seat was supposed to accommodate 2 more people (according to the driver of the bus), but after the 3rd person sat, there was no more space left.
The driver was going to have none of that and he insisted that 4 persons must be on that seat, this caused an argument to ensue between the occupants of the seat and the driver, with the driver making indirect comments at the huge lady. While all this happened, I was at the back, laughing to myself and pressing my phone.
The huge lady, having hit a brick wall with the driver, asked the lady in her left to shift a bit, and then came the angry retort: "Nibo lo fe kin sun si?, if we divide this chair into two, you would take up more than half of it! .... After this reply, nobody else said anything in the bus, the huge lady jejely paid for two seats, while I was at the back choking back my laughter and wondering to myself :
It is the default settings of most Nigerians.
Angry!
Yeah.... The country is not smiling 😑😑
Laugh my ass out, so funny! Well atimes I wonder too, lagosians dey always vex
My Broda, it's not only lagosians o.... If I gist you my experience in Ibadan ehn....
I was laughing while reading but when you wrote this
I felt bad. We are all blessed differently. She would feel bad for that day and many more. She needs a car.
Yeah, she definitely would, I hope God blesses her with a car too.
Very bad indeed
I can imagine how the huge woman must have felt, Who knows what she must have been battling? I wish i could give her a big hug.
But nigerians will always have something or someone to blame...there was a time i boarded a bus too and a huge woman was asked to join our seat, one "medium sized" aunty just looked at me and said, if you were not so thin and lanky they would not have asked a fat person to seat with us. I felt bad, but then i am a Nigerian 😀😀.
Keep steeming,
Love,
@soorefunmi
She definitely would be battling issues caused by her weight, but Nigerians nor just get chills at all.
Anyways, I have come to learn that people have different ways of dealing with their Anger, some people deal with it by taking it out on others (e.g, the lady that yelled at the huge woman), and in situations like that, your best bet is to grow a thick skin or else you would find yourself always depressed.
We're angry because of Change 😛😛
Yes o, Buhari should Coman be going, we are tired of the "change".
Babes, laziness is very relative. You might think you are lazy. But someone out there might admire your hard work, so don't be so hard on yourself. As per "angry woman and driver" Olorun a ba won yanju e
