"Madam, e sun si waju",(Madam, move to the front), the driver shouted at the woman who was driving a red Camry and probably couldn't really drive well. She remained on the spot and didn't move, this caused the driver of the transit I boarded to start fuming with rage.

"You dey maddddd!!!!, If you no fit drive, shey you for trek make you keep motor for house, which one wey you come dey do didinri for express like this, shift this thing comot for road ode", he shouted. 

"God punish you, idiot, come down from that your spoilt bus make you come drive am nah", the woman shouted back.

"And e no go better for you, you no dey respect your husband for house na im make you fit talk to me like that, useless woman" the driver responded. 

They went on and on, raining insults on each other, causing a traffic jam behind them. The driver of the transit not minding if his passengers had somewhere important to be, he wanted to win the insult duel.

I sat down looking dejected on the bus, this and more is what you go through when you board a public transit in Nigeria, especially in Lagos.

You'll encounter different types of crazy drivers and they work hand in hand with the devil to frustrate you.

Today, I encountered the insulting driver, sometimes, I encounter the drunkards.

These drivers are known to always drink while driving, you'll see sachets of gin or rum with them, one in mouth, two or more at hand.

They drink and fill you with the smell of alcohol until you get tipsy yourself.

Next are the fast and furious drivers, these are the drivers I dread the most. They drive so fast, even on a road with many potholes, causing you to be scared for your life. The passengers on a bus with this type of driver are always shouting, "small small, abeg oooo, driver calm down, I never born oooo".

The next are the drivers who knows the bus is in a critical condition but still put it on the road. I boarded a bus with a brake problem one day and when the driver tried to stop the bus for a passenger to alight, we realized that the brake wasn't functioning well and the bus couldn't stop. My heart was in my mouth and I started calling on God to save me that day.

There are many other types of crazy drivers you'll meet in Nigeria but if you've met a crazy driver already, share your story with me in the comment section. 

Meaning of the Lagos vernacular words.
