Phew! Traffic trouble I wouldn't want to experience again
Getting stuck in traffic isn't something one should wish for their enemies let alone oneself but how will you do when you find yourself in that unavoidable circumstances. Phew!
I had quite a number of experiences of traffic troubles. Some were inside a town while some are in the bush where there is hardly a house insight but for the sake of today, let me share my worst story so far.
Traffic Wahala
You are about to find out why I choose this particular story to be the worst story.
It happened in December 2014 where I was stuck between Nyanya (Abuja) to Karu (Nasarawa State) Nigeria.
A young Nigeria Youth Corper who was traveling from Sokoto state to Nasarawa state. I left Sokoto state as early as 6:00am and by 6:21pm I was already in Abuja and was very happy I was gonna reach home soon but I ran out of luck when I got stuck between Nyanya to Karu for over three (3) hours.

A tortoise was faster the the vehicles that evening as we were as good as not moving at all.
I was already exhausted from a long trip and when I thought I was going to rest soon, the worst happened.
The funny thing was that there was nothing to point at as the reason for the traffic jam. Absolutely nothing because by the time we escaped to the other side, my people, there was nothing causing the traffic. Phew! That was serious.
Finally we were happy for leaving that congested scenario but yet we ran into another holdup after Garaku in Nasarawa. Though these was caused by a group of armed rubbers not far from where we joined other vehicles to park and wait for them to finish their operation.
However, within 30 minutes, the army came and cleared the road for motorist and I finally got home really exhausted and I doubt if I was able to eat that night because all I could remember was I took malt drink with liquid milk mixed together after taking a hot bath.
My people, don't pray to be stuck in traffic when you have an important meeting to attend because you will be so depressed and frustrated.
