An old calabar woman boarded a bus to Lagos from calabar told d driver; "driver,if u reach Benin tell me o! "
The Driver nodded and then she shouted again"my children,una hear wetin I tell am? Everybody
responded YES MA.
On d long journey to Lagos,everybody slept off but this woman never blinked.
We never knew she doesn't know Benin. After several hours of driving and now close to Lagos with Benin about 4hrs behind, d poor woman then asked; driver,u never reach Benin?
Ooooh!! D driver exclaimed; madam Benin is like 4hrs behind us.
The woman started crying "take me back 2 Benin abeg I no wan wahala o!!!"
After all said, and considering d age of d woman it was agreed that d driver should turn back 2 Benin.
On getting 2 Benin,d driver came down,opened d door n told d woman she is in Benin.
D old woman simply opened her hand bag, brought out a satchet of panadol, removed 2 tablets n swallowed dem wit water. She then smiled and said, my daughter talk say if I reach Benin make I take 2 tablets of panadol.
