The story behind the picture
The story is about my journey from Cross River State to Lafia Nasarawa State, but first I'd love to give gratitude to God who made everything possible "I'm Grateful Lord"
It was Wednesday morning. I woke by 4am and said my morning prayer. Immediately after that, I went and brushed my teeth and also took a bath. After I came out of the bathroom, I moistured my skin with cream and dressed up. Although I had already arranged my clothes in my traveling box, and I remembered to put my laptop with its charger and also my power bank and other accessories in my school bag, I will be with it.
It was some minutes past 5am and my aunty had already prepared breakfast not only bcos I was traveling but because she is a teacher the also because the kids would be punctual to school I ate and there was no room left in my tummy for more food haha I had to be filled cos I'm was to embark on a long journey so to enjoy the venture I don't need to be hungry, I also carry some snacks that I would eat omw.
So, after all, my dad used his motorcycle and carried me and my luggage to the main road outside the barracks, and I took a vehicle from there to Ogoja. That was when the journey all started; I arrived at Ogoja safely. It was 8am already.
I'm traveling in public transport, not private. I don't like the public I know nobody does either. I've no choice cos I'm broke ass haha, well, that aside.
They put everyone else luggage in the car trunk, and it couldn't even close. They tried some on top of the car roof. Well, I'm not surprised it's a public vehicle, lol.
All the passengers that entered the "Sienna" were nine in number, including myself. We prayed to God for journey mercies and protection over the vehicle before moving. The driver drove to the gas station and filled his vehicle before moving.
After a long time drive somewhere on Makurdi express road our vehicle accidentally hit a goat that was on the road I don't know if the goat died cos we couldn't stop but it was accidentally cos the goat was crossing already and the goat and the goat try running back but unfortunately the car was coming fast the driver pushes the brake but still hit the goat nevertheless I felt bad about how the owner will feIt cos big goats are very expensive. Anyway, we finally arrived at Lafia, and I was the only person who stopped at Lafia. The other passengers were going to Abuja. I hope they reached safely, all thanks to God Almighty for the journey mercies he granted us.
I'm excited to invite you,

Que mal que no pudiste ver si la cabra murió, deben tener más cuidado para evitar que suceda otro tipo de accidente como ese.
Muchas Bendiciones..🙏🏻
