THE ROUGH ROADS & BOTTOM PLATES

458

By Yakubu Ahmed BK

The road between Darazo and Basirka, a 10 Kilometre distance is so bad that you risk just anything.

I took off from Gombe early enough today, thinking of making it to Kano to handle a few assignments, take a deserved rest in a cozy environment for the night and then hit the road again as early as possible.

Ten kilometer Drazo-Basirka road

Suddenly, I hit something beneath as I weigh my options on a very bad road. It made a hole on the bottom plate and the contents began to spill out. I was oblivious until a kind motorcyclist drew my attention to it. I quickly parked, off the engine and called for help through another kind commercial car drive. He called a mechanic from Darazo.

As you can see, the mechanic is on a rescue mission to fix it in time for me to hit the road again. Allah yayi muna arzikin rufin asiri, ameen.
