Everyday in my city especially mornings of each day is usually a cocktail of mixed feelings 😂.Welcome to Lagos, Nigeria.
If you are in the working class, you would be off your bed at past 4am not by choice but by circumstance .If you sleep off a little more, you would have to compensate by spending more time in the morning traffic which everyone doesn't ever pray to be a part of.
I usually would be on the road at past 5am as I can't keep up with the traffic and the crazy stunts it pulls a cross my city.
For me I hate the traffic for personal reasons
Firstly, i can't fall asleep in a moving vehicle and it's a crazy feeling 😂.I get in traffic and everyone else falls asleep flawlessly but for me, I can only imagine being asleep 🤦🏽♂️.
Secondly, there is a lot of honking as everyone would be driving impatiently and would be honking the hell out of your eardrums.The drivers tends to mess around with their horns and this interferes with the amazing music blaring in my eardrums.😩I hate this very much.
Thirdly, this reason is the one everyone hates.The waste of time and the obvious long amount you get to spend in it.For example a 30 mins journey becomes 1 hour or a lot more.Everyone hates this a lot too.
Though I hate the traffic, I enjoy the dramas that happen on the drive everytime.The drivers hurl insults everywhere, shouts out a "Move your car"command from behind your car.There is also street selling on the way sometimes though this is prohibited by the government.
In as much as there is a little bit of good in traffic😬.I would give double the fare, sacrifice my sleep just to get the hell away from it.What about your city?
