Let me tell you a story. The story of how my life changed for good. It is a true life story, I swear, it happened. E go shock you!

This event happened just after I finished secondary school. I had just moved from Iwo Road in Ibadan to Gbagada in Lagos. I was not yet sure how Lagos worked. Lagos was still a big mystery to me.

So on that fateful day I had reason to go to Yaba. My mission in Yaba might have or might have not been to get my self some bend-dan-selet shirts. You know as a fresh face from Ibadan in Lagos, I had to step up. No, I am not saying Ibadan people don’t know fashion.

Ok, I digress. I apologize, had to put this story in proper context. I apologize.
So back to the story.

So I was coming back from Yaba and took a bus from Yaba bus stop going to Bariga, so that I can tamo another bus from Bariga to Iyano Oworo (Hushpuppi used to ply this route too).

I was the last guy to enter the danfo, so I had to perch by the open door. I was hanging on there for dear life. It was not a big deal. That was the only way to sit if you are the 4th guy on the row by the door.

So, uhm, this gist ehn. Anyway. So as were were passing Ladi Lak and nearing Bariga market, it happened!

No, I did not fall off the bus. Do I look that unfit to you? Only unfit people fall out of a moving danfo in Lagos. I have hung from the door of a molue from Oshodi to Iyano Oworo before even with the condo threatening to push me off. That is a story for another day.

So like I said, as the danfo was approaching Bariga market, it happened!!

She was walking down the side of the road with another guy. Fine, yellow chick. She couldn’t have been a Unilag girl (where we were was too far from Akoka for her to be “slapping” it).

Our eyes met and locked for what must have been 0.00035 seconds. She was just too fine and I was afraid that if I kept that locked look any longer that will be the end as I would just lose my grip and fall off the bus.

Not like that would be the worse that has happened to me because of fine girls back then.

So as I was about to break the locked look lest I plunge to my death on the potholed asphalt of Bariga road - she blew me a kiss!

I must have mini-fainted, because for moments I became dizzy, felt like what was blown at me was not a kiss, but a whole cooler of ice blocks.

I turned, looked at the guy sitting beside me - maybe it was him she was blowinbg the kiss at. But that guy did not look like someone anyone will even blow a wad of money at. His face was too strong. So I looked back at fine yellow girl. She pointed at me and blew another kiss

She smiled as the bus blew past her, blowing her into my past!

It all happened in a matter of about 2 seconds.

That is the story of how I found out I was actually a fine boy.

Thank you for your attention

The end.
