All black on black he wore,ash back pack,a long hoodie over a ripped black jeans with black stylish leather boots,surubu thought to himself : "I guess what to do next is to get me a place to stay ,maybe a hotel of some sort *sigh* this is nothing but too much work and too much thinking,*sigh* oh well,, it is time ...after all humanity has doomed itself. With a smirk on his face he stopped ,looked up and said.. "being the hero will indeed painfully suck😒,
now which hotel would one go to?🤔......ahaaa😃....I know,the A.b.u grand hotel is where gods lay I hear 😆,that's it then.

With no hesitation he then approached the nearby public transportation motorcycle just across the deserted land from whence he came,on approaching the rider....

Note:the riders in Nigeria are referred to as bike men/Okada

SURUBU: you.....I need me a ride to the hotel at the Ahmadu bello university immediately 😤.

BIKE MAN:banji bah?
(Translation:I don't get you?.)

SURUBU:Aish..I forgot ...hausa town😩.

NOTE:Hausa language is the most important indigenous lingua Franca in West and central africa,spoken as first or second language by about 40-50 million people. It belongs to the western branch of the chadic superfamily within the Asiatic language phylum.
The home territories of the hausa people lie on both sides of the border between Niger,where about one-half of the population speaks hausa as a first language,and Nigeria,where about one fifth of the population speaks it as a first language.

SURUBU:toh ka kaini KONGO, gate na biyu,kah ganeh deh da wajeh din ko?.
(Trans:take me to KONGO campus,second gate,you know the place right??).

BIKE MAN:EH na Ganeh.
(Trans:yes I know)

SURUBU:Toh nawah neh?😒...(Translate:ok how much is it?).
Now surubu kept this facial expression knowing very well that they charge excessively, especially when they think your an alien,and as such have no clue to the actual price,but then, he didn't even know where he was ,so he might as well just wing it.

BIKE MAN: toh....dubu buyu neh
(TRANS:OK.....it's 2000 naira).

SURUBU:(hits the high note)WHATTTTTT?....... wey ama Kai ka-sha kwaya neh?
TRANS:but did you take the wrong drugs?).
(Shit ,it could be the actual price or maybe it could cost more or maybe the old fart is just trying to extort from his ancestors😒, Surubu thought).

BIKE MAN:mbaza ka bia bah ka fada,bah wai za ka Nuna mun rashin hankali baneh😠.
(Trans:if your not going to pay, you tell me,I don't need this disrespectful attitude).
