The Synergy Between Lagos Bus Driver And His Conductor

Hello Lovelies, I am back! with this topic that has been on my mind for a while and it has finally materialized in my head. As usual please look beyond my stories and deduce the crux of the writing. Enjoy! Once I enter into a commercial bus in Lagos, the first thing I am likely to notice is the synergy/cooperation between the bus driver and conductor, which makes me able to deduce how well the trip will go and 99% of the time I am right (yes i said it 99%). You see this cooperation between these two most important people leading the bus to your destination is as compulsory as you passenger coming in with your change O! if you live in Lagos you know will get the subtle joke.  Let me use this illustration most Lagos (Black and Yellow) commercial buses do not have side mirror which automatically makes the conductor the "eyes" of the driver, the conductor as you see in the picture above usually hangs on the bus and that makes him see further ahead than the driver.

As I was planning to write this post, it happened again, this is a conversation between me and my new tailor just this morning: After the usual good mornings,  Me: "I expected you yesterday and you did not come" Tailor: "I'm sorry, I was busy" Me: "Okay, I'll come, I want to buy Koko (local pap) and akara (bean cake)" Tailor: "*funny laugh*, so you drink koko?, you don't look like someone who drinks koko ooo" Me: "*puzzled*, how would someone who drinks koko look?" Tailor: "I don't know, but you sha don't look like you drink koko"
