This is a very tough experience. In my years of travelling to both the Northern and Southern part of this country, I've had a very long list of weird travelling experience and I've been in situations where my safety was just in God's hands. In all these, I know that facing a chaotic situation in a foreign land is never a good experience.
You really had it tough. If only it crossed your mind that I'm just few minutes away. My place is just 3 minutes walk away from UI school gate.
Well, God knows best and I'm so glad that you still managed to wrap up your journey nicely. I'm very sure your next trip to Ibadan would be so much better.
