D’banj Surprises Lagos Commuters by Riding Public Transport

Nigerian music icon D’banj, also known as Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, has sparked excitement across social media platforms by taking an unexpected ride on Lagos public transport. The singer, renowned for his hit songs and dynamic performances, surprised many when he joined everyday commuters, seamlessly blending in on the city’s busy transport system.

This unexpected move comes shortly after the release of his latest project, The Entertainer. Fans and onlookers were thrilled to see D’banj onboard, and some were lucky enough to share the ride with him. The event coincided with the first anniversary of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line, making D’banj’s appearance even more memorable.

D’banj’s ride wasn’t just a brief encounter. Starting at the Leventis bus stop, he boarded an electric bus to the Marina train station. From there, he hopped on the Blue Line train, traveling to the National Theatre station before heading back to Marina. His gesture extended beyond mere appearances as he generously offered to cover the transport fees of his fellow passengers by crediting their Cowry Cards, much to their surprise and delight.

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) praised D’banj for embracing public transport and creating such a buzz. Many fans took to social media to applaud the artist for his humility and down-to-earth attitude, with some expressing deep admiration for his efforts to connect with the public in such a personal way.

D’banj’s act of kindness and his willingness to join regular commuters in Lagos has resonated deeply with fans and Lagosians alike. While his music continues to captivate audiences, his recent gesture offstage has cemented his connection with the everyday people of the bustling city.
