You make up your mind to wake up 5am and get to work early so that your Boss will know that you can also be nominated for most punctual staff
5am - (Alarm rings)- You snooze to 5 mins later, ''let me sleep for extra 5 mins'' , You say
5:05am (Alarm rings) - You snooze to 10 min later, 'this 10mins more can't hurt' , You say
5.15am (Alarm rings) - You put off the Alarm. 'I don't need any alarm to wake me up, I am smart enough to wake up at exactly 5.35am', You say
6.39am : (Your Village people decide to tap you to consciousness)- 'Ha, I slept off sha', You exclaim!
You hurriedly get prepared for work.
7:04am You get to the bustop, only to meet the whole of Nigeria at your bustop
7:09am No Bus
7:11am A bus with only 1 seating space arrives!
The whole word fights for it..

2. If that bustop is jam packed with people, Walk back to the preceding bustop , you are likely to get lesser people there to contend with
3. Appear and Act Violent- Nobody would near you if you start saying words like 'I go shook anybody wey near me' . So when a bus comes, people wondering if you are normal or not won't hustle bus with you😃( T&C Apply though )
4. Shout 'Excuse me pls,let me go back to my seat' - Act like you had a seat previously in the bus, so while people wonder if you are saying the truth or not. You are seated! (This might not work often)
5. Hold your bag tightly(for females) and fight like the other commuters are hindering your success or like its a spiritual battle
