Simbi sits by the aircraft window

They shared foods and drinks inside the airplane for us, Simbi tells her friend Amina. She ask what kind of food or what type of food, Simbi is confused, dose n't know what to answer.

Anyway as I was saying, the pilot started the aircraft and revved the engines like he was driving a bus.

This was when my friend and I turned back from our highly concentrated game of chess to look at the two girls who would be in their late twenties of age, as they continue their discussion.


                                                               SIMBI
                                                            (continues)
The pilot reversed the aircraft, put it on gear one and moved us forward. You can notice the increase in speed as the pilot changes to gear two- three- four and the aircraft lifted up.
(Amina was very excited at the story, I and my friend looked at her helplessly)
                                                                
                                                               AMINA
Simbi so tell me, were you scared of flying.

                                                                SIMBI
No I cannot have phobia for flights. I have been flying in aircrafts since when I was five years old.

                                                                AMINA
I hope the pilot switched on the air conditioner due to the hot sun in the sky.

                                                                  SIMBI
The pilot did not switch on the AC, when I started feeling hot, I simply rolled down my window to allow cool fresh breeze blow into the aircraft. I even brought out my hand and collected some clouds, rubbing them on my face to have a cool relaxed flight.

                                                                  AMINA
Wow that was cool.

We interrupted them and asked Simbi to stop the story for Amina's sake and advised her- An aircraft's window cannot be rolled down and if it got broken in mid air flight, the aircraft will loose pressure and may crash.

Amina looked at Simbi in awe.
Simbi just concurred with us by saying- I was only sharing the story of my dream I had last night with Amina.

Amina is still more confused, My friend and I went back to our game.

The Lagos Bus Rapid Transit system.

A BRT bus in a bus station
Introduction

Popularly called BRT buses with their special concrete barrier paved and marked lanes.
Due to the heavy traffic, too many car owners that put millions of cars daily on the Lagos roads, the usually rash driven yellow volks wagen danfo buses and their hustile conductors and drivers.
The Lagos State government saw the need to put up a well organized, decent Rapid Bus system that will be neat, air conditioned. ticket entry and comfortable for commuters in the state.
You don't have to put your private car on the road everyday and face traffic challenges as the BRT buses have dedicated traffic lanes that are usually traffic free, safe and decent bus stops.

The Operators

The two operators of the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit are the NURTW and LAGBUS, the Lagos owned Assets Management Company.
Seven years down the line, the BRT buses move more than one million people across various routes daily.

The Soldiers are there

To ensure the dedicated lanes for the BRT are kept traffic free at all times, the LASTMA are placed on guard, warning off or penalizing stubborn cars and yellow buses.

A uniformed army sergeant once had a quarrel with some men of LASTMA about violations and also an army colonel showed understanding when his car was stopped on a BRT dedicated lane,
 Nowadays, more senior government officials and top politicians are now avoiding driving their cars on BRT Lanes.

The future

The BRT buses have come to stay even as the government is expanding it's operations in the suburbs.
The next time you want to go to work or keep up early with an appointment, use a BRT bus.

MY FRIEND'S BLACK TOYOTA COROLLA


We decided to go to the gym at Adetola street in Surulere, Lagos. After the game of chess, the time was 8:30 pm, traffic was still heavy as various motors struggled to drive through the cele bus stop T junction.
It was very tight.

A red hatch back car showed up just as we wanted to turn right at the T junction, the red car, driven by a woman was headed for straight way.
Somebody once said that it's very hard for a woman on steering to give way for another car to pass in front of her. This was the exact discussion my friend and i were engaged in.
As both cars came close, there was a scratch...
When i was a little boy, we had wondered why when two cars had a scratch, they would exchange body panel colors.
My friend screamed- she has scratched my car and painted me red.
The woman drove away not even bothered to check for any damage.
My friend's corolla now has a red colored patch on it's front bumper.

Oh i forgot to add.

My father once drove a Toyota Corolla in precisely 1976 when i was still a small boy.

Pictures showing the former state of a major port road in Lagos.

 Once upon a time, the coconut bus stop area of the Apapa- Oshodi express way was very bad. Many trucks tumbled on the bad spots, with their containers and goods.
The road has been repaired now and movement of traffic is smooth.
