Hello steemians, it's another beautiful day, hope you are doing wonderfully well. Thank God for his mercies.it really exciting when you are traveling back home especially when it's being quit a long time you went home to see your family. Want to share with you my journey from Aba to Benin.

MORNING

I woke by 5:30am, and joined the family who I stayed with, with prayers and examining the scriptures. After then I brushed my teeth, then tooth my bath. I woke up that early so I could meet up with the first bus, to enable me leave early. So after taking my bath I got dressed. Leaving the environment were I was, was really difficult, because of the company of the family, and kids too were already missing me, and I too was already missing them, because we really had spend time together. But I had no choice but to leave .

I then took my bags, their mum accompanied me to the junction then I could get keke to the park, where I can get a bus going to Benin. When I got to the park, the bus was not filled up yet, it was just 5persengers that were inside, so I paid for a seat and I was given a ticket to show that I have paid. After 50mins, the bus was filled up. Then they decided to put load in the boot, both the way bill, and the ones the persengers were traveling with were parked in the boot. The boot was so overloaded that the persengers were all complaining. But the men loading the bus including the driver did not listen.

The manager then came out and instructed the driver and others who were overloading the vehicle to remove some of the load that it is too much that the vehicle is overloaded. They immediately removed some of the load. Then it took another 1hour and some minutes for then to finally arrange the few loaded so as not to overload it. Then the persengers all enterered the bus. The bus left the park by 8:37am. So we started our journey. There were so many police and Army check point on the way. when we got to Imo state the driver had to pass through some old roads which were so dusty, to by cut some of those check points.

AFTERNOON

We then enterered Onisha, when we got to Onisha, at one Army check point all vehicles going and coming were asked to stop, and all persengers were asked to go out from their vehicles, and walk few kilometers, then the driver drives the vehicle forward, and all the persengers will enter back into the vehicle. It was really stressfull. We then begin our journey from onisha, when we got to Agbor, a persenger drop at Agbor and after the persenger left, the driver was not allowed to move by some 'Agberos' because he was parked on the wrong side after so many apologies the driver gave them some money before they could allow him move.

We finally left Agbor and got to Benin by 2pm. The vehicle dropped at the park. Then all persenger dropped and left for their different locations. I waited at the park, then I droped my bags on the ground, I needed to waited at the park, because a friend needed to come and pick me and another persenger at the park.

My small bags

We waited till 4pm then, the friend finally came and pick us to our destination.

EVENING

I got home by 4:30pm, so excited, and thank God for journey mercies, after then I took my bath, and had some rest after the long stressful journey. I later wake up and took my dinner. Then I checked my phone for messages and missed calls, then I came online.
Thanks for reading through.
