💔 The Genesis: Solving the 'Idu Uno' Challenge
December 2022. The festive season, the time of Idu Uno (Journey Home), is supposed to be joyous. But for millions, it’s a period of deep anxiety. We witnessed the devastating reality firsthand: A young mother at Jibowu park, Lagos, whose meticulously saved Naira for the essential trip was mercilessly devoured by fluctuating fares.
She started with ₦20,000, only to be quoted ₦28,000. Chasing a fair price from bus park to bus park, the fare cruelly escalated: ₦32,000... ₦35,000... culminating in an impossible ₦38,000. Her careful planning was mocked; her funds were exhausted. She had to make the painful choice: turn back, and miss Christmas with her family.
This agony—the fare volatility, the disrespect for precious luggage containing gifts and provisions, the last-minute wahala (trouble)—was the turning point. It proved that inter-state transport needed more than just buses; it needed dignity, reliability, and respect.
That’s why we built Proddy Transport. Our solution empowers you to secure your seat and price months in advance, pay flexibly, and finally reclaim the peace of mind for your journey n'obodo (home/town). We are protecting the hopes, the traditions, and the deep ude (sigh of relief) of finally arriving home.
