On getting to the bustop with another friend of mine, we had to wait for a bus to our destination along side a large queue of pple also waiting. Any bus dat comes will be welcomed by a rush of people, and ajebutter like me (shines teeth, Lol), I dislike rushing. Minutes later, a bus stopped infront of us, the pushin started again, and immediately I felt robbed, checked in my side bag, fiam, my phone was gone,
Yekpa. Olee ooo, I screamed, grabbed the woman close to me and demanded for my phone, as a correct yoruba woman she was, she started raining abuses on herself (not me).
The bus wanted to take off, I clung unto it like the conductors do (chai! You needed to see me in action), so the driver had no choice but to stop. People started calling my number but it wasn't going through. "I am telling you that the person who kidnapped my phone entered this bus. I'm very sure of that", I explained again for the 10th time. My screams had already alerted passers-by and they all intervened in the case including a lawyer lady that rather talks too much, lol.
Also, someone had already gone to call the police since the bustop was close to the station. Then my friend entered the bus and demanded to search everyone, the intelligent thief seeing how serious he was on carrying out the search, and hearing that the police have been alerted and they are coming she quickly brought out the phone and claimed she saw it on the floor. Can you imagine? Immediately the bus left, the police arrived, hmmm, if they had caught that girl, she would have been in HOT ogbono soup.
What really baffled me was the swiftness at which my phone was stolen from my bag. It happened before I could even blink. Hmmm, nawa for sharp people oo. I really feared Lagos that day,was shaky all through. Atleast I was lucky enough to have gotten my phone back, right? Do you have any experience with pick-pockets in your area? Let us know in the comment section. Happy New Month and Sunday guyz.
Lool I've never been robbed in broad day light though.

DeleteOk it happened that she lost her phone that period so one day she went to ikeja, she now said she saw phones on display then she sighted a phone that looks like hers lolz you know even if you don't write your name on your stuffs, you will always recognise it in the midst of thousands. Cos we asked her how sure she was that it was her phone. She said she was sure and that there was a mark on it and she is too sure
ReplyDeleteShe now told the guy that she likes the phone but she doesn't have much here but she will drop 3k so in few days time she will bring the balance.
And becos the school she teaches is close to that cantonment@maryland, she knows some soldier so she told one of them about the issue that when next she goes there and it is confirmed it's her phone, she will holla him to meet them there.
On getting there, the phone seller remembered her and she already has a new sim card so she told him to allow her test it by putting her sim in the phone, so the guy agreed. Immediately she did, her contacts on the phone came up so she was glad it was her phone. Na so she call soldier ooo and the soldier appeared there faster than she can imagine. The guy now started confessing that someone sold it to him bla bla bla. Mumc sha collected her 3k back. I told her she is lucky and shouldn't be taking those kinda risk. She said I should forget jor that she was also alert na
My mum can suspect even a rat in lagos. She would say "look at d way this one is looking, he must be a thief" ahahahaah
Your mum is smart ooo.just like my mum,she said some few years back,am sure before I was born some gangs used juju to collect her gold,novel and money from her around iyana Ipaja she wept that day to oluyomi Odukoya house, she said my mum wanted to go back to look for those thieves but they didn't allow her.
DeleteSome months later as a sharp Ijebu woman raise in Lagos she saw one of the woman at CMS, she grabbed the woman shouted to the whole world that the lady is a thief that she stole her stuffs
She dragged to the military office around CMS,trust those army guys now, she made sure she collected every.

DeleteI remember the day i was going to ikoyi,if you are familiar with obalende, under bridge they have sections for cabs going to the inner part of ikoyi.so on that fateful day,I left office to quickly do my own sharp runs. When I got there ,there was no cab going to my own destination, they were all going to Osborn or banana island so I stood there waiting patiently for lugard cab. So as a cab pulled over,people came rushing to ask where the driver was going . that day I carried my Zara shopper bag,which doesn't have zip.its like a canoe shaped bag,i use the bag anytime i wanna go to court cos it's big if you are familiar with Zara. I was tired of pinging so I dropped my Q10 in my bag. Cos I had my files and diary in the bag I wasn't bothered unknown to me one lanky ugly black man was deeping his hand in my bag .cos of how wide and deep my bag was,I felt the weight,lo and behold the guys hand was in my bag trying to get my phone. Omo na so i held his hand,i shouted Ole, Ole. He wants to steal my phone. I caught you red handed, what isyour hand looking for in my bag!! he was now boasting, that he has his I'd card he works bla bla wetin be my own.i kept shouting in Yoruba, I didn't even mind that I was lookin all glammed up.i made sure I raise alarm so other commuters will be careful. Do you know no one interfered. Omo,I just quickly keep quiet before the guy go vex Land me slap.
