My Most recent Journey

I can do anything just to get the trill of travelling. Most times, i love traveling in the night. Though its way more risky than traveling during day time, i prefer it because there are less people on the road, thus, less traffic stops.

Speak of risky, I remember when I made a travel blog two years ago. In that blog, i talked about how i traveled from Umuahia, Abia state to Imo state with a tricycle. The road was lonely even during day time. You can read the post here if you want.

For a very long time now, I have not embarked on long distance travels due to how demanding my job an be. I only get two days off in a week which is barely enough to rest, talk more of traveling long distance. My trip for the past few month has majorly been from umuahia to aba, and from Aba back to Umuahia. According to google, the distance from umuahia to aba is about 65.5km which will take about 1hr 6mins to cover. I think it depends on the car's speed cause' when i'm travelling, i get to Aba in less than 50 minutes.

Early this month, i was placed on 5 days night duty. So, i had to make good preparations before i travel so as not to forget anything in umuahia.

Seated comfortably in the passengers seat at the front, I placed my headphones on my ears, and increased the music volume to the highest. Just like every other journey, the journey started peacefully. While enjoying the music and the journey, I was looking at different buildings on the road.

It was quite a long drive, but we finally go to our destination. In the bus park, I saw things that made me feel really bad. People with different health challenge were in the park begging for money. Some were congenital problems, while some health problems were caused by accidents.

When i asked around, they told me that some of them were thieves. When they caught them stealing, the community decided to cut off one or two of their body parts to teach them a lesson.

It was a bad sight, but then, there was absolutely nothing i could do to help, so, i continued with my journey to the hospital. After walking for a while, i got to another car park where street boys help car owners get passengers. Over here, we call these street boys agbero.
