The mark
My 64
The mechanicSome weeks ago, a danfo bus ran into and broke one of my fog lights. Two days ago I had a flat close to a mechanic's workshop, so I drove in to fix my tyre. I noticed a 406 just like mine parked there that made it the mark. I asked the mechanic how long it had been there, and he said "close to a year", so I offered him money to remove its fog lights and put them in my car. He declined. According to him, the owner of the car left it in his trust and he will return it in exactly the same condition whenever the owner returns for his vehicle. Of course barring any reasonable wear and tear. I felt ashamed of my offer, but at the same time I felt happy that there are still good people in this country. There is hope in unexpected places. After I drove off, it occurred to me that sadly, I didn't even ask for the mechanic's name...

Yes, a touching experience. I wish you had got his name. There are many people like that in Nigeria but its drowned out by the empty barrels.
