A twitter user named Lois Truly has revealed how a Lagos “Agbero” i.e a transport worker saved her from depression late 2019.
Lois Truly, a writer said she had just resigned her job after five months and depression started setting in so went to the movies after winning a ticket online. She said the movie “Man Enough” lifted her spirit for the meantime.
Afterwards, on her way home , she plugged in her earpiece, played Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t stop the Feeling” song and repeat and she started dancing towards the Eko Hotel round about before the “Agbero” joined her.
She said she and the Agbero danced for a while as his colleagues surrounded them and cheered them on.

But few steps later, I felt him by my side, and I wanted to see what he'd do, so I smiled at him. This uncle joined me. I had earpiece on, but I was dancing to the beat so he started emulating every step I was coming you with π. I swear I felt like I was in a movie

By the time I got to the major road, the music hit and I started singing and walking to the beat. I sing and dance on the road (life is too short not to). Anyhoo few seconds later and Agbero who had just finished cussing someone saw me, and I performed to him. He laughed at me

I was still in a dark place, but I decided I was done being sad. I started playing Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop the feeling and walking down from Terra Kulture to Eko hotel roundabout because my money would finish if I didn't walk. π

After enduring a shitty Monday to Friday, I logged on here and saw @ _PLICE 's giveaway tweet. I applied and won a ticket to see a play (MAN ENOUGH) at Terra Kulture in VI. I decided to go instead of drowning in my sadness. I saw the beautiful play and it lifted my spirit a bit.

HOW I DANCED ON THE STREETS OF LAGOS WITH AN AGBERO π
Late 2019, I'd just quit my 9-5 job after just 5 months (longest job I ever held π). I was homeless and hating being a burden to my friend (bless you, D!). I was struggling to not be depressed but that week was hardddd!

And like that we started dancing to 'Can't stop the feeling', bumping our hips in some places. Everyone turned and wondered what was wrong with us. Some motorists stopped but I was determined to not be sad anymore so I kept dancing. The Agbero had a blast as his guys hailed him

Few minutes later, he led me by hand to the other side of the road, stopped a keke and paid for me. Just before he left, I stopped him and said Thank You. That Agbero may not have known what he did for me that day but dancing with me probably saved me from depression.
