One of the richest men in Nigeria, Femi Otedola, was one of the
passengers in a commercial bus popularly known as Molue on Lagos road.
Molue
is notorious for the unusual ways operators jam-pack passengers, with
less people sitting and more people standing, packed like sardines.
Though the BRT buses were fully air-conditioned
and comparatively cheaper than Molue, with no standing or noise
pollution occasioned by hawkers that sometimes make Molue ride a bumpy
one, the spirit of Molue overcame many administrations’ attempts to
phase it out.
Otedola did not tell his followers the reason for his unusual decision
to take a ride in Lagos’ ol’ Molue. But he recently took public bus
abroad, hence he probably took same here to satisfy some social media
critics.
