Lady Defecated On Herself Inside A Bus After Spending 8 Hours In Lagos Gridlock
LAGOS NOVEMBER 2ND (NEWSRANGERS)-A Nigerian lady, who prefers not to be named, has narrated her worst ordeal inside the usual traffic in Lagos state.
According to her, she left Ikoyi to visit her friend at Magboro area of Ogun state. But, the journey which as supposed to last no more than one hour, lasted for 8 hours due to heavy gridlock.
She told a Tori News correspondent,
“I usually hear of energy-sapping traffic gridlocks but I have never been stuck
in one for more than an hour. When people narrate how long they spend in
traffic, I am always amazed because I have never experienced long hours in
traffic.
“The day I
experienced a rough gridlock was when I went to visit a friend. The journey
started on a good note. It was a bright, sunny morning. I promised her that I
would see her on that day and we would hang out at a park in their neighbourhood.
I set out at 10am from my place at Ikoyi to Magboro in the Obafemi Owode Local
Government Area of Ogun State. Normally, the journey ought to last less than an
hour but I ended up spending seven hours on the road. It was one of the worst
days of my life.
“It was a smooth ride until I got to the popular 7UP bus stop where it all
started. I thought it was the usual Lagos traffic even though it was on a
Sunday; a day one would likely expect minimal traffic on Lagos roads.
“My Uber driver was able to manoeuver and soon we were already at Otedola
Bridge. As soon as we got there, the road became totally blocked and cars
couldn’t move any longer. After waiting for 45 minutes, I decided to end the
trip and move on. Everyone got out of their cars to gape at the long column of
vehicles stretching to the Ojodu Berger area.
“I decided to trek to Ojodu Berger. As soon as I got to Berger, there was a
crowd at the bus stop waiting for buses to convey them to their destinations.
Few minutes later, a bus arrived and I was among the lucky ones to secure a
seat on it. It was the worst decision I ever made. I should have returned home
but I was determined to meet my friend.”
She said unknown to her the traffic stretched beyond Ojodu Berger, but as the
bus snaked out of the park towards the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway en route
Mowe-Ibafo, it seemed clear until it got to the Long Bridge.
“That was
where the traffic got worse. We spent three hours on the same spot. Suddenly, I
began to feel uncomfortable as my stomach ached. I realised that I was in
trouble. I needed to urgently use the restroom. There was nothing I could do; I
was stuck on the Long Bridge with no help.
“My stomach kept aching and I wanted to cry at that point. It was the worst
feeling ever. I began to pray within me for the pain to subside. It did and for
a moment, I thought I was fine. But it was a false hope as the aches suddenly
worsened. I couldn’t speak to anyone; I couldn’t tell other passengers what I
was feeling at that point. I knew I was in a mess.
“The next thing I knew, I defecated on my body. I couldn’t believe it. I
furtively stared at other passengers to watch their expression. But
surprisingly, no one noticed anything. I was relieved after the embarrassing
act.’’
Ajala stated that for another two hours after her defecation, the bus barely
moved few metres as she felt disgusted with herself.
“I wanted to
cry. I could perceive the stench so also was the driver whom I sat beside. But
I’m sure he never imagined the smell would be from inside the bus. Luckily, the
smell wasn’t bad and people on the bus didn’t really perceive it.
“Eventually, after eight hours on the road, I arrived at my destination.
Hastily, I alighted from the bus and my dress was soaked. I rode on a
commercial motorcycle popularly called okada immediately to my friend’s house.
When I arrived at her house, I had already stained the seat of the bike. The
rider was angry at what happened. But my friend apologised and arranged for his
bike to be cleaned. I rushed to her bathroom to clean myself as I stepped into
her room.
“It was the worst experience of my life. I couldn’t believe I spent eight hours
on the road. I still remember the incident and when I narrate it to people,
they laugh it off but I do not find it funny. The experience has put fear in
me. Whenever I was in traffic, I got scared not to go through that
horrible experience again. If an outing isn’t important, I do not go out.’’
