I wrote a quiet letter two days ago.

It was for 5 people. That's all blogger showed me. 5 views.

I was happy. 5 people is a danfo row. 5 people is enough to start a conversation.

Yesterday, I was in a danfo from Yaba to Oshodi. No AC, loud music, conductor shouting "Oshodi! Oshodi!"

I was thinking: Why am i checking stats every hour? Why do I need 100 views to feel like a writer?

Then I remembered what my grandma says:"if you can feed 5 people,you can feed a street".

So I posted the letter on publish0x. Same letter. No changes. Just quiet thoughts from a loud city.

I slept.

I woke up. 97 views.

Same letter. Same writer. Different bus stop. 

Lesson?

1. *Don't shout louder. Change the bus stop.* Blogger is my home, but publish0x is a busy park where people stop to listen.

2. *Danfo rides are content.* Everyone in Lagos has a danfo story. That is our universal language.

This is letter #2 from Inkcognito.

If you are reading this from Lagos, you get it. If you are reading from outside, welcome to our loud, beautiful traffic.

Thank you for the 99.
