THE DIARY GAME ||Better Life With Steem|| How I traveled from Bayelsa city to Anambra City|| DATE (20- 09 - 2022)
Hello steemians,
I must say to you guys today has been very stressful and busy day, because I spent 90% of the day in a intra-national bus which transported me from the city of Bayelsa to the city of Anambra which are both cities found in the country Nigeria. Some days ago I left Anambra state Nigeria to Bayelsa state Nigeria to pick up some of my properties I left in my rented house, I left some important properties like my clothes, shoes, and some important books because I went for an unexpected holiday which unfortunately took more time than expected.
Because I knew my journey would be really long and time consuming, last night I did set up an alarm that would enable me wake early. Nigeria is currently having some security based issue so it's not adviced that any person especially a young man or woman should be traveling in the night, most especially after what happened two days ago in a nearby community.

At 5:30 am the alarm started ringing loud, unfortunately for me that was the moment my dream just got amazing. Hearing the alarm ⏰ ringing made me sad because I wanted to continue the dream but I couldn't. So I hurriedly stood up stretch my body, after which I did some press up and sit up, at around 6 am I was so hot and sweaty, so I went to the shower to wash me self. At around 6:30 am I started packing up my luggages and I then did some cleanup to prevent rats and cockroaches invading my room when I am out.
So at by 7:00 am I took a local cab or taxi to a famous intra-national bus park know as "Peace Mass Transit", it was a 30 minute drive. When I reach I hurriedly went to get a ticket which cost 2500 (approximately 25 steem), lucky for me I was given the last ticket for the last bus, I was glad that I wasn't gonna wait for a new bus to get filled before traveling. After the diver finished loading all luggages into the car we began our journey at around 10 am.

Opssss I am hungry, I just remembered I didn't eat before leaving because I focused on other things about my journey, I started to look out for hawkers on the highway. I pleaded with the bus driver to stop if he sees any hawkers because I really needed to eat something. After moving for an hour we came across a military check point which caused slow movement of vehicles, someone at my said I should look out, saying this are the best place to find hawkers on the highway.
Lucky me after ten minutes of searching I saw a hawkers who sold "Okpa" (a meal made with Bambara nut), I was glad and I bought two Okpa which is worth 200 naira each(2 steem each). After eating I felt so lively but bored so I started taking pictures of beautiful natural views along the way, I did this until we reached my destination. When I reach Anambra city, I had to find another local bus going to my community so I walked down to "Ekwulobia Mass Urban Mass Transit" and I bought a ticket which cost me 1500 naira (equivalent to 14.8 steem)
At around 4 pm I finally reached my community, but where the bus stopped was quite far from my house. So I paid a motorcycle rider 200 naira (2 steem) to transport me to my compound, when I reached near my house my friend started hailing me because they have actually missed my presence in the community. I told them I was going to see them as soon as I dropped my bags at home, but when I reached I was served dinner and after eating dinner I slept off like a baby.
