Tro Tro Drivers, Knocked Down Passengers And... Pure Water?

Jesus! Jesus! was all I said when I witnessed the incident a few days ago. The poor woman had just alighted from the troski. Unfortunately the driver parked too close to the gutter and as he moved he hit the woman who fell into the moderately deep gutter. And what a fall it was. I still shudder as I recall the loud thud and saw her chin hit the edge of the gutter.

It took 5 people to get her out and all the stupid troski driver could say was "obi ento pure water em bere me" (Someone should buy me some pure water). Are u kidding me? I thought he would talk about taking the woman to a clinic for a shot against tetanus or something. The woman could even have internal injuries and the idiot was aking for pure water.

Thank God the other passengers and witnesses gave it to him. Kwasia sem! Mcccheeewwww!

CAR NA YE MA!

Hello folks,

Its the start of the weekend and i hope you are all as excited as i am. The last time, i gave you my experiences on the troski on my way to work. Little did i now that i would have a sequel to that story.

Yesterday as i boarded the trotro, i looked around as i asked myself:"what should i talk about today?" In less than two minutes, the trotro mate did something that i felt was worth mentioning here.

Have you ever heard of a mate getting drunk at as early 6am? Yes, that early.................................

As i sat in the trotro (as he shouted "Haatso, Madina" )wondering why this mate was reeking of alcohol, i heard someone hail the trotro.

The mate ignored him and asked the driver to continue. At this point, i became confused. Wasn't this mate prepared to make money? The prospective passenger who was offended asked him in Akan "Mate e dien life no no?".

The mate, who was offended by that question refused to let the gentleman board the vehicle. Instead he stood at the point of entry and said in a gruff voice "car na ye ma" which means that there was no available seat. But the funny part was that there were only two people in the vehicle, myself included.

The lady beside me burst into laughter as i tried so hard not to laugh.

Now, the driver who had been quiet all his while got angry and asked the mate to quit the nonsense as the passengers were the main reason why they were on the road. What happened next was something i have never seen in all my years of being a trotro passenger; the mate got angry and asked the driver to take his place. What made it funny was what he said a few minutes later.

"Massa, eye edwuma na yee ye. Enye sa anka wo ti pein ne me anaa?" I am sure you know what happened next. Yours truly, the driver as well as the other passengers had a good laugh at the mate's expense. He only ended up looking foolish in the trotro.

Well folks, I hope you enjoyed today's tale. Enjoy the weekend but don't overchill. Till Monday its ............................

Cheers

TROTRO ISSUES

Have you ever wondered why trotro mates are always quarreling with passengers? Well, I'm sure most of you would say its about the transport fare. This brings me to the topic for today.

This morning, as i was heading to the office i couldn't help but enjoy the nasty exchange between the trotro driver and a passenger sitting next to him. What i couldn't believe was that the reason for the exchange was five pesewas (old 500 cedis). This usually happens when the prices of fuel keep changing but on this day, these prices were supposed to have stabilised.

As if that was not enough drama, the gentleman sitting beside me suddenly felt there was the need for him to switch on his radio. "Don't these people know about earphones?" was the first question i asked myself.

Just when i thought things would get worse, something very interesting happened; a lady who was in a giving mood, gave us a full dose of the crack of her buttocks as she was alighting from the trotro. That was when i burst into uncontrollable laughter and guess what? the other passengers as if on cue also started laughing.

On a serious note however, women must be very careful when dressing and should not follow the trends of the west blindly by revealing their private parts in the full glare of the public. They only degrade womanhood by doing so.

And that's where i leave you. I hope you visit next time for more interesting stuff.

Adios.
