I just got a job at Toyin Street, <\/a><\/span>Ikeja<\/span><\/a> Lagos. It was my first week at work and I was yet to get acquainted with the route to my house – I stay at <\/span>Isolo<\/span><\/a>. My first day at work was a Monday, I left with my male colleagues in the marketing department. On Tuesday, I left the office alone. I was happy to see two of my female colleagues outside the building trying to board a <\/span>Maruwa <\/span><\/i>ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, I had boarded a <\/span>Maruwa<\/span><\/i> heading towards Ikeja bridge to be precise and trekked further to get a vehicle going to Oshodi. On Tuesday, my female colleagues boarded a <\/span>Maruwa<\/span><\/i> going to New Garage, I was happier because I felt that the <\/span>Maruwa<\/span><\/i> was going closer <\/span>Ikeja <\/span><\/a>Along and that I won\u2019t have to trek for a long time. Unknown to me, I was going to a wrong destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

We \u00a0alighted at a <\/span>Naco<\/span><\/i>,I thought that was the last bus stop. I wasn\u2019t familiar with the place, I was confused – so confused. I told my colleagues that I had lost my way. They assured me that was the best route. In a nutshell, I spent about N600 on transportation just to go back home that day. I regretted doing <\/span>follow follow<\/span><\/i>, I imagined what will happen if I spend \u00a0N600 to my place of work and N600 from my office to the house everyday, that would be N1200 and I would have no income because I would have spent all my salary on transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that staying at Ikeja would save me almost all my income because I won\u2019t be spending so much on transportation. I will love to get an apartment at Ikeja via <\/span>ToLet.com.ng<\/span><\/a>, an online housing company I got to know about lately. I will also employ the services of move me to pack my things to my new apartment (when I get one).<\/span><\/p>\n

If wishes were horses beggars would ride, but greatness starts with a thought. One day I will afford an apartment at Ikeja, my income would be six to seven digits in a week, but now I have learned not to do <\/span>follow follow <\/span><\/i>again so that I would have better savings instead of spending all my income on transportation. <\/span><\/p>\n
