Bomb Scare In Lagos

It was a beautiful yet 'same shit different day' rainy Friday which as a 'bloody kofa',i had to get to the secretariat for my cd.I got dressed,ate and left the house hoping for at least an eventful day,took my usual route and boarded a bus heading to Obalende. Once we got moving,I noticed that at my back was a short,hairy dude of possibly middle-eastern heritage talking to himseif so i figured he was a muslim and was praying.
A few minutes later i started hearing 'click click click click click' and this continued for a while,i tried looking back a bit but didnot think it anything scary.I started imagining me sitting by his side and him wanting to pull the suicide bomber stunt,i elbow his mouththen started punching the shit outta him until he is out cold,then there's panick in the bus and me yelling at evrybody to shut the fuck-up and calm the fuck down.Itell them to get out of the bus in an orderly fashion and call the police and bomb-squad.Stupid thoughts from a punk lol.
Anyway sometime later the 'clicking' continues and suddenly a passenger yells 'DRIVER DRIVER STOP STOP STOP BOMB BOMB BOMB PLEASE TELL THIS MAN(pointing at our mid-eastern friend lol) I DON'T LIKE WHAT THIS MAN IS DOING,HE'S MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE'.People get very uncomfortable and start yelling and shit but an Imam(i guess) besides me gets pissed and tells them that the dude is just praying and plying with his 'clicker' and that 'Scarycat' should not raise a false alarm and cause unnecessary panic like that again.Some passengers say he is only being alert and after what happened two days earlier (bomd attack in Abuja) everyone should be alert.Some were even describing different types of 'modern-day bombs' as they put it.
Only to find out the 'living suicide bomber' had no idea what was going on,asked if the bus was going to CMS and continued praying and playing with his clicker.
We all got down from the bus and went our seperate ways with we pissed at the weather yet laughing at what happened in the bus.I saw the dude again today at the same busstop and i started laughing again.
