Sitting inside the molue going home, she was watching as buses pass each other in sly maneuver, drivers showing their skills, performing daredevil stunts to overtake other drivers,Okada guys speeding past with the more impatient ones that can afford it. the traffic was so thick and everybody in a hurry to get home, they passed two men locked in each others arms as if in embrace but the looks on their faces and the
shouting shows otherwise, one bashed the others car and other drivers were out of their own cars trying to separate the fighting duo, and making them move their cars so they won't cause further traffic.

Today is a terrible day for me she thought, first I lost my job, second I lost my phone, now this heavy traffic separating me from my home, I pray this day ends well.
At last the bus started snaking it's way up the heavily traffic road, showing signs of decongestion and the bus conductor is now barking names of bus stop to the passengers, "answer to your bus stop oo, I no fit shout, Cele, Coker, abule, mechanic!
'Owa' she answer at the mention of her bus stop Abule, Abule Owa ooo, when it looks like the driver is speeding past her bus stop, Abule dey driver, she angrily screamed at the top of her voice" Madam no need to scream the driver heard you, ah ah, you dey vex oo joked the conductor.
She didn't respond, she was gathering the remainder of her now past job at her feet, all she needs now is to get home, shower and sleep.

Njide took an okada from the bus stop to her compound, it's not far from her place but she is in no mood to trek, she paid and thanked the okada man and walked towards her door
Welcome Aunty, the kids playing outside, her landlords and other tenants chorused, then they rushed to take her bag from her
How are you people today? How was school? Rufai how is that your arm , hope it's healing well?
Yes Aunty, replied Rufai, with his head down in his shy way. Rufai is an only son and get pampered by his mother who everyone calls Alhaji. Where is your mummy Esther? Did she know your little sister is playing with you people with her measles? Njide asked, she knows the baby has measles but she does not understand why she should be mingling with other kids with such an infectious disease. But it's none of her business, she knows Esthers mother will never allow other kids play with her child if they have measles. She is well known as the compounds quarrel monger, she once fought people from health council when they came to inspect the compounds leaking soak-away pipe. She got a broken teeth from the encounter and is feared by the whole compound, nobody wants trouble with mama Esther.
