The bus took a start and drifted it way back along the express road of the high way, heading towards the set destination, Jos. The driver increase the speed of travel, at the free way express road. Infact the journey almost seems stressless, if Prieto had taken the normal buses at the local park that were not the luxury type, the journey would have been very hectic and tiring for him, without the comfort involed. Though been at the luxury transit was cost effective, which made all the difference compared to the normal bus.
Inside the bus, some where still eating what they bought at the stop by. The driver changed the music playing, to jell up the drive by into a soothing and pleasurable r&b music. A famous female singer 'Brandy' was playing from the fitted speakers in the bus. On a single titled 'fullmoon' a track from the songstress. A love song kind of music. The level of the volume sound was moderately adjusted, so the resonating effect of the musical production was rightly engaged in it effect. It's was as if the lyrics of the music, was coming swiftly clear to the hears. Undeniable, it's obvious that Prieto knew everyone were raptured, at the ongoing classical music delivery.
The mood was right in it refreshing forms, as everyone already got themselves replenished, at the recreation center they stopped at. The experience gave room for fresh air and new inspiration of ideas. The soothing r&b song playing was an applause, other singers song played, which were more familiar to the passengers in the bus. Audible voices were heard in the luxury bus, singing along to the rythm of the music to confirm their appreciation. At the course of their experience in enjoyable travel, the evening dawn on them in the bus. The driver announced their arrival in Jos. Everyone were excited and happy in the bus at the message they all heard, a lot of joyous look was on people's faces.
The tempo of their conversation in the bus increased among themselves, every passenger was either saying something to themselves or to someone. The driver kept drifting drive along different street in the town, around Jos. He was trying to get to the general bus park in the city. Finally, he got to the cosharis park where he pulled over the bus for everyone to get down and face their destination. Prieto looked at the beautiful city, with good roads and well constructive building, through the window. He got up from where he sat, followed through along the lane with the passengers, finding their way down the bus at the last park.
More of them started drifting out of the bus, before Prieto could think of getting down. As soon as he got down, the park was filled with all kinds of people at that night. Prieto could observe the wholesome sight of people, tripping in and out their way to various state on the next available transit, that can gaurantee comfort through their voyage. People coming out of the buses were disappearing, into smaller vehicle that can covey them to their respective streets and close, as the case maybe. Prieto moved closer to a particular driver in a Toyota car; good day pls am trying to find my way to yankari! He said. "Keep going straight ahead to the yellow car over then, you will see a vehicle going there", "the driver responded". "Thank you". Prieto answered and walked along. He got to where the yellow car was and saw the vehicle going to Yankari, his destination; where the youth camp is situated .
He asked the driver in the vehicle if he knows about the NYSC camp ground in the place. "The camp ground! Yes". The driver exclaimed. " You are entering the right vehicle, are you a corpers?", He asked Prieto, who was busy forcing his traveling bag into the bag sit of the car. "Hey hold on! the driver lamented, "let me help you to open up the boot, because passengers will soon be coming in and they will need the space to sit, I presume carrying your bag on your leg will not be too comfortable for you, so am suggesting you keep it inside the boot". The journey is almost an hour journey, the driver said to Prieto. He carried his traveling bag out of the car and tugged it out of the car doors, struggling with the weight of things in the bag, as Prieto was already getting tired and he was loosing strength. He managed to carry the bag to the back of the vehicle, as the driver met with him from the behind to unlock the boot, with a key from the sets of keys to the ignition.
The man opened the boot up after unlocking it, while Prieto carried his bag inside the boot. He closed it, before Prieto got back into the car. It's was already 7:20pm when Prieto checked his watch. Anxiously he was fidgeting on the sit he sat knowing, he is not familiar with the environment he just found himself. Feelings of insecurity made him cave in Patience, waiting and expecting at least two more people to get inside the car he was, before he will Start raging to the driver. The time factor made him restless, Prieto felt he needs to see his way properly into the system in his arrival. Coming in at the day time would have been prefarable, but it's only complicated trying to beat the odds to it. As much as he tried to arrive early, the distance traveled per time length remains a factor, that alters the possibility of set time for arrival. As Prieto sat in the car all alone, expecting other passengers to come, eventually one passenger came into the vehicle.
The driver had to Start calling out for passengers, especially for those who don't know where to get the right bus heading to Yankari. In the meantime, two more passengers came to where the vehicle going along there route was parking, and they asked the driver if he would be moving the car right away. The driver said yes. Not wasting time, he entered the drivers sit beckoning all the passengers going in to come inside the vehicle, so the car can be on it way to their destination. Prieto was happy, it was as if he had been waiting for the last passengers as such to come and help quicken the travel process, so he can beat the time of his arrival in yankari, before nightfall. It looks to Prieto like the last two passengers that came into the vehicle were corpers too. He could tell from the way they were anxious, that they were just coming to the camp same time as him.
The driver drove off to yankari immediately everyone shut the vehicle doors. The more the car travel into the distance road, the more the environment around them look more primitive like a village settings. It seems as if the car had drifted off the city, no more such sight of exciting places. It was like the direction of travel began changing into rural environment, where they could barely see nepa light.
