MAYBE THANK YOU ISN’T ENOUGH, GIVING MAYBE (PART 1) By Onyebuchi Odianjo

MAYBE THANK YOU ISN’T ENOUGH, GIVING MAYBE (PART 1) By Onyebuchi Odianjo So this was the first empirical survey I did in Danfo buses but this time, with the driver. That day, I had bought some bananas before I entered the Danfo (I love fruits a lot), so I sat on the front sit just beside the driver. When I got in, the driver seemed impatient to wait as his conductor tried to get some passengers but they weren’t forthcoming, due to the driver’s impatience, we left without a full bus. The driver was kind of rough I must say, as he drove into road bumps and galloped like he was some 007 (double O 7). To keep calm, I decided to eat the banana on the journey. We got to a red light and then I offered the driver some banana. “Oga take banana,” I said in pidgin language, “thank you aunty, thank you very much” he answered.

MAYBE THANK YOU ISN’T ENOUGH, GIVING COULD PART 2 By Onyebuchi Odianjo

MAYBE THANK YOU ISN’T ENOUGH, GIVING COULD PART 2 Onyebuchi Odianjo Remember my article on the ‘empirical research on Lagos danfo drivers and conductors?’ Well, this is the second study I conducted which I found very interesting after implementing my ‘giving’ methodology. Although I encountered a street fight, moral lessons were drawn from the incident. This very day, I entered a bus from Ojota to Ojuelegba. Now, reader’s resident in Lagos who use public transport will understand how comfortable the front seat of a bus can be, lucky for me; I got to sit in the front just beside the driver. The conductor said the charge was for 200 naira which I disagreed but offered 150 naira, just as I was speaking with the conductor, the driver said to me “baby that side na 200 oh!” I looked at him, batted my lashes and looked away. He said to me again “...

PUBLIC PARENTING By Onyebuchi Odianjo

FLASH BACK FRIDAY This was my first public speech on the 25th September 2016, and I’m humbled to say that after that day, presentations have been wonderful for me. Watch the video! Thank you @Cgmi for this opportunity. This is not only beneficial to parents but teenagers and youths alike. It is titled Public Parenting By Onyebuchi at Church of God Mission area 11, Abuja Parenting as we all know refers to the aspect of raising a child aside from the biological relationship. As a child, I learnt from the individual strengths of both my parents. But as time went by, I sort for more parental examples I could live by. So I asked myself who and where can I find a place with such people, and I answered myself, the church of course! Now, parents, it doesn’t matter if they're your biological children or not, as long as you’re a parent, you have a responsibility to live an exemplary life. Each ...
