Benedict Johnson’s love for luxury buses

By Nonye Ben-Nwankwo

Benedict Johnson is not an A-list actor, but he is somewhere on the celeb list, having featured in many Nollywood movies.

Johnson threw his celebrity status to the winds recently when he chose to travel in a luxury bus from Owerri, Imo State to Lagos.

Many of his co-passengers thought he had a phobia for flying and as such, had decided to make the long journey by road.

But what riled some passengers, We gathered, was when the vehicle broke down and Johnson went on a ranting spree.

According to an eyewitness, the obviously irritated Johnson went on and on about how he hated entering buses and how that was his first time of making the mistake of entering a bus instead of flying.

“He was just making noise and talking to himself that he wasn't going to make that kind of mistake again. Nobody even noticed him or even bothered to reply him, except for an elderly woman who reminded him he was a young boy and should not complain,” the eyewitness told us.

Decked in a red T-shirt and jeans, Johnson completed his suave looks with dark sun shades, which made him look every inch a celebrity.

No wonder he ranted and raved until the vehicle was eventually fixed.
