Have i told y& #39;all the story of how one man almost killed everybody in a danfo on a Tuesday morning because of one phone call? No?
Here is the story.
In the bus...full load. Destination? Iyana ipaja. Current location? Super approaching ile-epo at top danfo speed. Suddenly & #39;ta ran ta ran ta ran taran& #39;
One middle aged man brings out one funny looking nokia, picks the call, placing the back of the phone to his ears
& #39;Hello& #39;
Now. Nobody is paying attention. Why? The bus is hot and half of the passengers are in a hurry. Some people like me are drowned in deep thoughts but suddenly
& #39;Ehn kilon je be...e je ko assasinate& #39;
From the elderly man brings everybody to consciousness.
Assasinate? Assasi kini?
What can fa? On a Tuesday morning.
Now the conductor is looking dazed. The driver obviously didnt hear d man but d bus is quiet. The man jets off again
& #39;A ni e ma ba mi soro yen, e je ki o assasinate, ti awon egbe reeh ban assasinate e je ko assasinate& #39;
Wild? Now the driver has heard.
We are almost at ile-epo. Half of the bus is screaming
& #39;Owa ooh& #39;
& #39;Oun bole& #39;
The man cuts the call, sighs, hiss then says
& #39;Driver Owa ni ile-epo& #39;
Driver hits brake almost immediately. Bus goes gba ga gbi gi gboa gbi...
E bole ...e bole..
Nobody comes down. What?
I thought y& #39;all wanted to come down now? No! Eh bole moh ni?
Nobody talks. The man says...
& #39;Malo kin tele yin deh iyana ipaja tin ban kpa da bo kin wo wan& #39;

Driver instantly accelerates like & #39;je kin lo ja hired killer yi le& #39;
Now half of the bus chorus
& #39;E je ki awa bole& #39;

& #39;A fe bole& #39;
I kid you not the driver says
& #39;Okoh yi o le duro moh..iyana ipaja loti ma duro..& #39;
Now the bus is wild. Driver speeding...& #39;vaaaaan& #39;
Passengers sweating...then again.

Ta ran ta ran ta ran ta ran
& #39;Hello aunty me..school ta fi peju si won ni peju o le assasinate& #39;

Silence!

& #39;E wo e je ki omo yen assasinate..gbo gbo nkan ti egbe reh ban shey ni ko ma shey..bi egbe reh ba assasinate..e je ko assasinate& #39;

Cuts call. Silence
Suddenly from the back, one very fine looking chic taps the man.

Ehn....we were already passed pleasure.
Approaching Almaroof...What?
Baba is not a hired killer? Wow.
Driver slams the brake...gbiiiiiii...

From Almaroof to Iyana ipaja was another swear march.
From the elderly women at the back.
