Jelili in the Abroad-Episode 3-The Bustop aptism.
Jelili approached UK public transport like a general going to war. The bus stop humbled him immediately. He stood confidently in the middle of the road like he was hailing a taxi in Ibadan, tapped his bank card on the bus screen like he was greeting technology and sat proudly in the pram space until a British mother nearly set him on fire with her eyes. By the time he travelled twenty minutes in the wrong direction and asked a stranger, “Which road leads to where I am going?” the abroad had completed his initiation. This episode captures the day the UK transport system baptized Jelili without water.
