BUNMILOFE'S MUSINGS

I have been in somewhat of a mood this week. A lot of things on my mind, not altogether serious or bad, just thought provoking occurrences and yes, good ones too. Even the good ones got me thinking.

Before I knew it, we were on Ikorodu road, and whew, I was in Anthony, faster than I could have imagined. That reawakened my dream to get home early. However, at the bus-stop, there was a ton of people and too few buses. Before one could even hear what the bus conductor was saying, the bus would have filled up and zoomed off. I stood there and watched my dream to get home early fizzle away with every bus that drove off. Then it hit me, why wait for new garage bus when I can board any other...
