“Owanbe things….. I really can’t wait. Sister Wunmi’s wedding, O MA LOUD GAN”.I and my baby sister were busy planning on how tomorrow’s wedding will be. Sister Wunmi is a party freak so trust me in any of her parties there are no dull moment as there is going to be FAAJI unlimited.
“Sade”!! Dad called…… “Yes dad”
“I just got a call that the driver has travelled to his village, his wife fell ill all of a sudden. Since he is not around there is no one to drive you guys to tomorrow’s wedding” hearing that statement alone was like a slap on my face “Daddy what about Uncle Leye he can drive us nau” I said looking down. Uncle Leye is a first class rough driver, there is no day he takes the car out that one accident or the other won’t happen. “Do you know what you are saying, you better go and find a place to sit my friend” Dad shouted
*******************
I got to the room and told Kemi we won’t be attending the wedding “there is no one to drive us Waheedi has travelled,his wife is sick” I said “does his wife have to fall sick now, NONSENSE LELEYI OO ” Kemi said. “What are we going to do now I can’t afford to miss this wedding oo”.
“Big sis we are going to attend that wedding don’t worry” Kemi said confidently.”Dad won’t allow Uncle Leye drive so how are we going to go” I asked
“Why do we have commercial bus?”
“You are joking right?” I said “don’t worry big sis that’s the only option left or don’t you want to attend?
Sade! Dad called again “sir”…. “Call Leye I also have something to do tomorrow at the office” 10 mins later uncle was already in the house. I and Kemi came to the living room to listen to what dad was going to tell him.
“Leye I want you to drive me to the office tomorrow and the children to Wunmi’s wedding. No mistakes this time oo”. “Okay sir”
Thank God Kemi and I said.
*******************
Saturday came, Uncle Leye dropped dad at the office first before taking us to the wedding reception. On the way, the real drama started, the first class rough driver only behaved normal because of dad. “Uncle Leye please take it easy oo,no damage should happen this time around ” I said
“Sade come on are you not enjoying this ni….uncle Leye plsease ride on” Kemi is just as rough as uncle Leye if not for home training in her life.
GBAMMMMMMM……Uncle Leye has done it again. This time it was a boy hawking orange. “HA TEMI BAAMI IYA AGBA MA LU MI PA” That was the boy’s ringtone I really felt for him ooo…. We paid him for the oranges and even gave him extra. “Uncle Leye you see what I was telling you thank God you didn’t hit the boy. Just drive carefully”
At last we arrived at the wedding. As expected faaji galour.
It was time to go home, Uncle Leye didn’t misbehave this time around after losing 500 naira (the paid part of the money). Uncle Leye is a very stingy man. We got home safely. Thank God for today. Kemi collected extra 500 naira from uncle Leye to keep her mouth shut. If we reported uncle Leye to our dad he is in soup, Uncle Leye is actually the driver of our neighbour(a military man).

Each day of our lives we come across different kinds of driver. The good and bad, the rough and calm, educated and illiterate. God is the only driver we can trust, he is the ultimate protector. Let just pray he keeps us safe all the time and never mislead us through each driver we come across.
