From our garage wey dey for near Ikeja under bridge, I take Agege Pen Cinema side, say make we enter Iyana Ipaja, enter Egbeda, den begin dey go for Alimosho.

Una kukuma sabi as Lagos road dey be wen rain fall. Ordinary from Moshalashi Alhaja, go reach Iyana Ipaja, take us like four hour. Na so so water my guonguoro just dey drink for road. Afraid come dey catch me make rain water no carry my guonguoro trowey for gutter.

Di papa, mama and dia man pikin wey I carry no even wan know how I take dey manage dey drive dem pass all di water for road wey plenty pass River Jordan sef. Dem just siddon dia dey argue who go win and who no go win for Saturday election.
