I smiled at him and carefully rated him 2-star mainly because he is a “future cheater.”

This is my 3rd day going to the MTN office and today I am ready for a fight. Why must everything in this country be so stressful? I just want to upgrade my sim to 4G not get a visa to leave the country, why must it be so hard?

Wait, I’m so pissed right now, why is this bolt driver asking me for relationship advice?

I’m sorry, do I have something on my face that makes people think I’m an expert in relationships? Guys, I have 5 failed relationships, I suck at this thing.

I’m so annoyed right now but I can’t help but listen to his love story, it sounds juicy.

Apparently, he dated this girl for 3 years but she kept treating him anyhow because he was broke and unemployed. He was in love with her so it was hard for him to break up but he finally did with the help of his friends. Now he is financially okay, has a good-paying job, and works as a driver for bolt when he is less busy. All of a sudden she wants him back. He finds her hilarious but he is excited that his love is back. Talk about a fated love story. Maybe they should go and cast for a Kdrama role.

“Sister Joy, I’m confused. what should I do? I want to take her back but she broke my heart, also I don’t want to break my wife’s heart.”

Wait, hold up a minute! He is married? As in married? Like legally?

What am I doing in this car sef?

“Oga, I don’t know o. You can’t cheat on your wife now. Maybe you should just let the other one go.” I said to him.

“Haaa… I can’t do that. I love this one.” He said.

Why did he now ask for advice abi what is wrong with all these drivers?

“Please park here, this is where I’m dropping?”

“Joy, don’t forget to give me 5-star, please. Thank you ehn” He said and drove off.

I smiled at him and carefully gave him 2-star mainly because he is a “future cheater.”

I don’t even have the energy to fight at the MTN office anymore.

How much do they sell Toyota Honda, please? I want to buy.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for reading. This is the first part of my bolt chronicles.

How did it come about? I ride bolt at most everyday to go about my business in the city of Abuja and I’ve encountered different type of bolt drivers. I thought it will be fun if i write about them and how I felt why listening to their stories and hilarious tales.
