• When we reach Benin

An old woman boarded a Bus to Lagos from Calabar and told the driver; “Driver, please, when we reach Benin tell me oo.” The driver nodded and then she shoutëd again;
“My children, una hear wetin I tell am?”. Everyone responded; “Yes mama”
On the long journey to Lagos, everybody slept off and forgot mama’s request. After several hours of driving and then close to Lagos, with Benin about four hours behind, the old woman asked; “Driver, you never reach Benin since?” “Ooooh!”, the driver exclaimed, “Mama, Benin is like four hours behind us”.
“Ah!”, the woman shouted and started cryïng, saying “Take me back to Benin, abeg, I no want wahala oo”.
Considering the age of the woman, passengers agreed that the driver should 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 two 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 drink two tablets of Panadol. I don take am now, Oya make we dey go Lagos..”
