Following Shola’s Footsteps

As far as pleasure and thrill rides go, I’m not sure there is any as dangerous as catching a luxury bus at night from Maza Maza in Lagos to any of the Eastern towns in Nigeria. This is because if the luxury drivers don't throw you into the bush, then the armed robbers will scare the living daylights out of you...
