I love traveling but I don't travel, the reason is because of the lack of security in my country, these kidnappers are not joking at all, they are the most dedicated workers right now, you can be kidnapped from entering any commercial bus if you lose guard and even if you are smart, you will cooperate when you are faced with Bazooka and Ak47, like I said they are dedicated and some are heavily armed especially when traveling to the east and north part of the country.

Traveling long distances is not the only issue because we also have kidnappers in the city, there is what we call one chance, you can get robbed in broad daylight if you are unlucky and enter such a vehicle, a friend of mine got robbed of her phone and money this year through one chance so the country is messed up.
This is why I don't like traveling and I have only been to 3 states out of the 36 states in my country, Lagos state where I was born and live, Oyo state where I visited my cousin and Ogun state which is the one I want to narrate the traveling experience.
My worst traveling Experience
It happened in the year 2014 when I and my brother wanted to write GCE, my uncle was a principal in a government school so he was the one my mum contacted to help us register and also help us during the exam.
Well, we landed in Abeokuta a few days before the examination but the place we were to stay was nothing to write home about, it was a village in a city with so many disadvantages, the houses were old and there was burial ground in front of 90 percent of the buildings which scares me cos the place was looking like a burial ground, the owners of the house were being buried in front of their house so in each house, you could even see 2 or more burial ground, this is why I don't like the fact that corpse is being buried, we could adapt the ways of the Indians and start burying our dead so the whole country won't later become a burial ground.

The second problem in this place was no good toilet!, at first I promised myself not to poo until I get back home and I tried my best to hold it in for good two days, I later give up when I could not bear it anymore and manage to do it the way others are doing it lol.
Their electricity was 1 day off and 1 day on and even for the 1 day on, it only lasted for like 6 hours, the worst of it all is the lack of water, the only tap water provided by the government there only runs once a week! so most time we would carry kegs and go to search for water in far places, there was a day that we had to fetch the water coming from a burst pipe in the gutter so we could bath to the exam hall...
Life was hell there and didn't enjoy my stay in that house at all but then there is always something good to write about cos in the exam hall, I was crushing on a fine girl which kinda makes my days in hell memorable but that didn't go as expected too cos she was two years older than me lol.
After we finished our exams and traveled home, I fell sick and yeah it was so serious that I took drips and injections before I got better, all thanks to the bad water and stress I went through in that state... It is still my worst travel experience.
