Adventures Of Oko Ashawo The Uber Driver - 32

Wetin Oko Ashawo no go see for road? 

This is a memo to men with blokos wey no dey hear word. One day you go dive enter 'River' wey go drown you!!!

Some days ago at about 7:30pm, I was on a trip with a male passenger when he sighted a pretty young looking lady at a bus stop along our way. He asked me to find a place to park and he got down to meet her. Shortly afterwards, they joined me in the car, sat at the back and the guy asked me to take them to a restaurant nearby.

I observed as the lady giggled but the guy did most of the talking. There was something weird about the lady’s behaviour but I couldn’t place it straightaway but shortly afterwards and all of a sudden,she started laughing out loud and saying some disjointed things. Haaaa ... 

The traffic was slightly heavy and I could steal glances to see what was going on at the back of the car. Without looking at the guy, she started shouting in the car .... “so, you think you can just leave me and go like that?” She kept screaming in the car and said some other incoherent things.

 It dawned on me (and him) that she had mental health issues.

At this point, I noticed that the guy had started fidgeting and sweating as he typed something on his phone. He then told me to check my phone as he had sent a message. I read the message quickly and he wrote that I should park at the next bus stop so that he can discard the lady.

As we continued, the lady saw a billboard and said she would sue the company for using her pictures for advert without consulting her. Hmmmm ... I knew I had to find a way a way to end the trip really fast. A lot of things went through my mind, like ... what if she suddenly bites me from behind?or launches a severe attack on us both?

I didn’t even wait till I got to the next bus stop. I pulled over and asked the guy to disembark from the car. I don’t know what he whispered to the lady but she obeyed and followed him out. I didn’t even wait for any drama to unfold and I ended the trip immediately and drove off. Luckily it was a card trip.

It’s really sad that we have a lot of people out there with mental health issues who do not get help and are easily branded with names...

Could I have been able to help her by taking her to a mental home?In Nigeria i might get arrested and a new charge pinned on me...

The guy who picked her up had other intentions but was quickly put off by her mental state but there are some who would still go ahead and sleep with her and in worst cases get her pregnant!!!

The next time i have  a passenger who wants to pick up someone from the roadside with intentions,i would rather end the trip and go home to sleep than encourage such act.......

I pray she finds help soon...

Memo to men .- continue doing serial lover and picking up random ladies until you pick up mammy water or a spirit who decides to seize your blokos and deal with you......Continue oh!!!
