My BRT Experience

Hello. Hi. Howdy.

Don't get it twisted that I have never boarded a BRT before oh; it my utmost believe that the second surest way to fly is by BRT, well after okada or bike. (planes are or big men and women *smiles sheepishly*).
Before I proceed to my story, lemme state the full meaning of BRT (for those of you who don't know, don't form you are probably one of those who doesn't know *sticking out tongue*)  it is Lagos Bus Rapid Transit system, (remember I said the second surest way to fly hehe). Don't tell anyone, before I used to think it was Babatunde Raji Transport because it began during his time *don't judge me*

Oya enough shalaye, let the tori tori begin.
I was in a rush to get to church for my weekly discipleship classes which begin at 6, I need to attend them for two reasons; 1.my mother won't lemme here word and 2. I actually like my teacher (Note: to all you pervs she's a woman)
I knew my boss would not allow me leave before 6 (which is my closing time) and even at past 6 she would be doing anyhow asif I am supposed to sleep at work. So I decided to take a BRT, why is this such a decision you might ask?, well the boarding point of the BRT is not close to my office I have to spend 100 naira to get to the boarding point, my consolation is that at least the fast ride on the BRT would make up for the more money I have to spend to get to church.

I got to the bus-top at 6:30, although the queue was annoying long, I kept telling myself I'll be at church by 7.  As usual the ride was smooth, till we got to the point where some people who's fare had expired would highlight. That's how the driver announced that he won't proceed in the journey. Initially I thought it was a joke, I even laughed  and said 'Not today Satan, not TODAY' until I saw him come down. Other passengers were annoyed, but no one was annoyed as I was, after all they weren't in a hurry to be at any particular place. I kept pacing and pacing, waiting for the next one to come and carry us, ironically that's when they all decided not to go.

One eventually came after like 10 minutes of waiting and decided to take us.The apex of my story was the fact that I did not throw my ticket away, because recently they haven't been checking for it. (imagine after waiting for so long and then not being able to get on it)
To add fire to injury, this new driver decided to crawl, ladies and gentlemen this was past 7, I was so angry, it was like the devil was snickering at me. At long last, we reached my bus-top and then that's how this man refused to open the door, it was like I was watching a movie. People were shouting 'oga open this damn door' like 3 minutes later he now decided to.

Sigh. Just sigh.

BUT!!
The good news is that I made the class, although I was late, I made it. I was able to receive my last minute share of the blessing God packaged for me.

And this is the end of my tori. *makes clapping noise*
With love, theInspiredCutiee 

The SS 4

If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

Sunday Special

FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies  You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...

List

As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...
