MAMA OLDIE

An old woman boarded a bus to Lagos from Calabar and told the driver, "Driver, if we reach Benin, abeg tell me.” The driver nodded and then she shouted again for everyone in the bus to hear, "My children, una hear wetin I tell am?” Everybody responded ''Yes mama, no problem".

On the long journey to Lagos, almost everybody slept off and they forgot about this old woman’s request. After several hours of driving and almost close to Lagos, with Benin about 4hours behind, the old woman asked, "Driver, you never reach Benin?"

"Ooooh!" the driver exclaimed, "Mama Benin, is like 4 hours behind us".

"Ah!” the woman shouted and started crying, "Take me back to Benin, abeg I no wan wahala o!"

Considering the age of the woman, the passengers agreed that the driver should just satisfy her and turn back to Benin. On getting to Benin, the driver came down, opened the door and told the woman she was in Benin. The woman simply opened her hand bag, brought out 2 tablets of Panadol and swallowed them with water.

She then smiled and said, "Thank you my son. Na my daughter say when I reach Benin make I take two tablets of Panadol. I don take am. Oya make we dey go Lagos..."

If you were in the bus when this happened, what will you do?
