MY MORNING

On this day under review, I woke up at about 5:30 am, said my morning prayers and started preparing for my trip. After my routine warm-up. I had a warm bath and tea and bread for breakfast. I called that my customer to send me direction to the place I will be meeting him and his friends, soon after. The message entered my phone and I set out on my way.

As we all know, the Indegenios People Of Biafra - IPOB had placed a seat at home order as a bid to frustrate the Anambara election which will help pressure the government to release Maazi Nnamdi Kalu who is been held unconstitutionally for self determination. As a result, there will not be regular movement of people. And I know it would affect my movement to Eket, but I had no other option.

MY TRIP

Because I was traveling to Eket, I had to go through AKTC which is the only motor park that conveys traveler to Eket town from Aba. On my way to the park, I stopped over an ATM machine to make some withdrawals to enable me take care of my travel expenses.

At about 8:15 am, I was at AKTC motor park. I quickly went to where they board Eket bosses and obtained a ticket, while I was completing the manifest, I discovered that I was the fourth person to join the 18 seater bus. Regardless, I paid since it was still morning and as such, I believed more passengers will come along soon so as to arrive Eket before noon as i had agreed with the people I was going to meet, but I was wrong.

After I had bought my ticket, I sat down alongside other passengers and driver's who were seated under a canopy having a chat. I joined the conversation while we waited for more passengers to come. As the wait lasted, I was looking out for hawkers who sell stockings because I had none on, when none was forthcoming, I excused myself from the rest and walked to Aba main park which is about four poles away from where I was, I bought myself two pairs of stockings. I stored one in my bag while I wore the other imediately.

I returned to the park and the wait continued, at about 10am, one other passenger came along. By 11am we were about 7 passengers. I was becoming very uncomfortable because the time I had agreed for the meeting was already at hand. Eventually, our bus rolled out of the park at about 12:30 pm with only 10 passengers on board. I arrived Eket at about 3pm and chatared a bike to Ona whare the meeting is to hold. Below is a picture of me on the bike.

The people I went to see were very displeased at my lateness, but I tried explaining to them why I came late God willing they understood with me and we transacted. I measured the four of them and we discussed other details of the job which included type and color of the fabrics, design and delivery time.

In about an hour, I was done with them and I headed back to the park. This time, there wasn't any direct bus from Eket to Aba, so I had to go through Uyo. Below are some if the pictures I took at AKTC park, Uyo

Coincidentally, I met again with one of the men I traveled with from Aba. This time,we did not spent up to 30 minutes in the park before our bus rolled out at about 5pm. Initially, the journey was very smooth and enjoying until we entered Abia state, only then did we start feeling the effects of bad road. We arrived Aba at about 6:30 and i headed home imediately.

CONCLUSION

When i got to the house, I had a warm bath and lay down and rested.

I didn't have strenth to prepare anything for dinner, instead, I had some fruits i had bought on my way home and retired to bed. I tried following my favourite television series when sleep came along.

That was how my day went. Thank you for stopping by my blog, am grateful.
