Hello and warmest greetings to all my fellow amiable steemians colleagues in this platform regarding mostly to the ones in this incredible Steem for Pakistan community, it's a pleasure to have you in my blog this week, though I haven't been active for some weeks now because i traveled to a place where i didn't normally have enough time to access my steemit account properly talkless of creating a post but thank God am back.

Just like i earlier mentioned above that I haven't been active for some weeks now because of i traveled to Kaduna for some urgent matters which i done for the moment, so after i finished everything i went there for last week I was supposed to be on my way back immediately but i decided to spend some days with one of my old school friend that now lived in kaduna so after spending some time with him and his family i starting my journey back to enugu yesterday.

Me at the park in the morning

Yesterday i went to the park around 7:00am in the morning to get a bus ticket from Kaduna to Enugu which i succeeded but I was told that the journey will kick off by 6:00pm in the evening that is night bus, first i was contemplating if to purchase the ticket like that or i should just leave and wait for the next day so as to follow the day bus because I have not traveled by night bus before in my live which gave me so much fear about what will happen on the way and moreover this journey is far that i would have just say let me try and manage because of the distance.

So after some researches and suggestions i acquired from some of my friends and family members who have been traveling in the night to know more about the night journey which they said it is good because the road will be less busy and congested compare to the day time when traffic hold up and busy roads that delays ones journey apart from the fact that the road is less busy in the night bus is always cheaper and affordable more than the day journey and it is true because the night ticket is N23,500 which is equivalent to 122 stem in current stem price while the day journey is N29,700 which is equivalent to 154 steem that is the difference of N6,200 equivalent to 32 steem, so after all this calculation I change my mind and bought the night bus tickets instead that morning and luckily I was the number two person out of 17 passengers.

When I went back home to take breakfast

Since i was told that the journey will start by 6:00pm in the evening and it's still morning the time is still far what i did was that i went back to my friend side and prepared some noodles for breakfast and after eating i lay my head on the bed to see if I can sleep a little bit to avoid sleeping too much in the bus tonight which i later woke few minutes to 1:00pm that afternoon which I as well ate lunch before leaving to the park by 4:00pm and when i got there the passenger where not complete so i decided to sit across the park and watch some boys playing football.

Me watching football in the field while waiting for the passengers to get ready

When it was quarter to six that evening that was when the driver and some boy's in the park started putting the loads in the vehicle and we started the journey by few minutes after seven that evening instead of 6:00pm that is when we left television garage that's is the name of the park in kaduna because of some unnecessary bargain between the driver and some passengers with too much load but everything was resolved at last and before 10:30pm that night we were already in Abuja indeed night journey has the advantage of less traffic and less hold up because I can remember when I was going we spend so much time before we could even enter kaduna from Abuja due to busy roads full of commercial vehicles like buses, trucks and private cars that makes the roads too busy but this night most of them have gone to sleep and the road is just clear and less busy.

At shafa filling station Abuja

We stopped at Shafa filling station at Abuja to buy fill up petrol for the vehicle and most of the passengers used that opportunity to ease themselves and the journey continued that night after we must have passed Abuja and entered lokoja the driver noticed some unusual sound coming out from the vehicle which he first of all guess that it must be the tire so when he park in a safe place to find out the problem and he was right when he said it was the tire because the front tire is flat so he quickily swapped it with the spare tire and we continue the journey.

When the tire got flat on our way

The driver later took some shot cut which we enter benue from lokoja very early in the morning around 5:49am and we rested at otukpo in Benue state for some of us to wash our face and urinate as well that morning and after a while the journey continued and we stop again in otukpa not quite long again because some Muslim passengers want to pray in a near by mosque so we waited for them to observe their prayers before we move again.

When we rested a little bit at otukpo Benue state in the morning

Few minutes to nine this morning we entered Nsukka local government Enugu state which have boundary with Benue state and in less than 1hour 30 minutes we arrived at abakpa junction that was where i and some other passengers stoping at enugu came down from the bus and the other continued their journey to port-harcourt and Umuahia while I took tricycle to my house which i got home 21 minutes pass 10:000am this morning which i thank God for journey mercy and protection atleast my first experience on night journey was nice and successful that is why i consider it as my best diary game of the week so right now am back from where i traveled to before and am also looking forward to see you in my blog again later.

I have finally come to the end point of my Best Diary Game Of The Week which i will like to call on the attention of my fellow steemians @josepha @joslud @travelingsteem to take part in this amazing contest.
