Wow! Heaven knows I did not ask him any of this.

From the minute he picked me up, I knew it was going to be a long ride.

“Hope it is not a one-stop trip? Are you going to the airport?” He asked.

That alone looked like he was going to stress me today. I politely declined because I just wanted to go home.

I was already tired from my outing. I hate going outside. There are a lot of people outside but in order to meet my daily needs, it is something I have to do.

“Joy, this car I use for bolt rides, I bought in 2018 for 3million, I wasted money on it. It is paining me” the conversation began.

Okay, we’re going for financial advice this time around. God, I’m so tired.

“But why? the car is smooth” I replied him.

I have no idea why my mouth keeps talking. I need it to stay mute.

“It’s not like I don’t like the car but it is the cheapest amongst my cars. With the money I have, I’m supposed to buy something higher”

Oh, we are bragging now? Is that what we are doing? Apparently, it is not a financial advice conversation. I honestly think I would have preferred that.

“See I have 4 cars and I’m planning to buy the 5th one when I leave here, I love cars so much” he continued.

Wow! Heaven knows I did not ask him any of this.

“Do you have a car?” he asked

“No I do not, I don’t have the money to get one yet” I replied him.

“Don’t worry, you would get the car one day.”

Before I could say amen, he shouted.

“Haaa… see my car”

I checked to see the Benz that just passed. I don’t know anything about cars but I know what a Benz is because my best friend never shuts up about the car… lmao

“Oh, is it one of the cars you want to add to your collection?” I asked him.

“No o, it is one of my cars. I borrowed a friend. Look at him zooming off. He probably did not see me.”

“Ohhhh, okay” I replied him while turning my head to the window side so the breeze could save me from this man.

I just want to go home.

Tomorrow I start my savings to get a car.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for reading. This is the third 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.
