Our manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
A young Nigerian man, Jimoh, has taken public teaching to a whole new level with his yellow bus in Lagos state.
Jimoh turned the body of the vehicle into a written art that motivates. Every quote has a lesson for both his passengers and passers-by.
Though danfo buses are known for their instructional graffitis, what makes his different is that he is very intentional about it.
Unlike a single line or a few that appear on most public buses, Jimoh's vehicle has words all over like an open book.

One of the inspirational quotes is:
"If your parents count on you, don't play the same games with those who count on their parents."
Another said:
"I may get knocked down, but I will never give up."
Whenever you are feeling down, Jimoh's bus may just be what you need to see. A Twitter user with the handle @tall_brown_boi shared the photos of the vehicle on the bird app.
