I had formed the habit of being the last person to leave the office....because being in the creative industry, you need a lot of personal space to synch your train of thoughts and put your ideas together to create an alluring presentation... So I just preferred working when everybody had left the office...say from 7pm...and very many times I had to pass the night in the office.

So on this particular day... I was working late as usual, my office was at V/I and I stayed in Ajah... One of the other motivations to stay late at work too was to allow the "TJFH" (Traffic Jam From Hell) to ease out; and this normally happened between 10pm and 10:30pm.

I looked at the time and it was already 10:45pm...I wanted to just pass the night over as I had done dozen times before but I opted to just "shook" head dey enter road like that.


11pm....I was on the road.

I had my bag, my phone and the OFFICE THUMB DRIVE on me.. The office thumb drive was very important because we were driving some major proposals that we wanted to submit to some companies within that period.

The road was free... No traffic jam.

Normally when I drop at my last bustop at Ajah, I would take a bike to my place, but since it was already ticking towards 11:30pm, I didn't see any bike. So from the last bustop, I started trekking down the road path that led to my house.... The road path was close to the main road so that if you're walking down the road, you would see the head lights of cars flashing at you from the other side till the cars pass you.

On getting to one mini-coke depot, ghen! ghen!.. Two guys with cutlass just came out... Infact I think they flew out sef, because one moment I looked in that direction, there was nobody, the next moment I'm faced with two guys with cutlass.. One of them held me by the belt and was dragging me away from the road side, I think to avoid the attention of passing cars.

They started rough handling me... Forcing out my watch... My hand band, my bag, my phone and then..... The office thumb drive.. After taking everything they chased me back to the side of the road.. I think I was in a momentary state of shock as they were ripping those stuff off of my body because when they chased me back to the road side and I realized the office thumb drive was gone... I started pursuing them oooo... I was like "Please my thumb drive my thumb drive"


That was one of the stupidest things I'd ever done.... As if area boy understand wetin be thumb drive, so as I was pursuing them and pleading for the drive, one of them now turned back with cutlass and started chasing me back.... Omo!.. See running ooo... So I finally out ran him and got home.

Your exp... Men, I cant really figure out what to say... But I believe the hand of God to be behind it... I mean, the bathroom was inside the house and they didnt open it. Also, the baby that was with you guys didnt cry... God is at work... I can relate to your exp cos my dad and mum exp such. During the riot of 2002*dats after america invaded iraq/afganistan*... My parent were caught up in a hold up that normally occur during their friday prayer along the road*this particular happend at masallachin dangi at zaria road, the one that leads to zoo road* right after their prayer, those guys just started smashing cars and killing any non-muslims/southerners that they could find in the hold up...*these are guys that just finished prayers* well, thank God, my dad's car was among the last in line so he and some other motorist (both hausa, muslims, everybody) sharperly turned back and head straight to mobile barrack in hotoro while some headed for their own prefered destination. For us in sch, the sch management took virually all student to police barrack bompai as our sch is close to d barrack...
Really bad exp for peeps leaving in crisis prone area in Kano and most southerners try as much as they can to leave inside sabon gari area.
One of the lessons that southerners have learnt in kano is that, on fridays, you shld always be on your guard as some bad elements among them can decide to do the unthinkable...

AgapeCharis:
meehhn
U had copies of d files in d thumb drive else where?

Ur sight sha me too go like join em o

1one:




That's the thing... I didn't have copies elsewhere... I wanted to die to be honest... I was like Ahhh... Where would I start from... How would I start putting them together, how will I tell my boss..


It wasn't a funny something at all @naijaboiy

AgapeCharis:

1one:


Too indispensable to be fired

Abi the company wan pack up

Bunsky:
my dear is God,they open the two bedroom,and the other bath room except that one.they touched the door of the bathroom,one of them just say"dan allah mu tafi".
These baby on a normal day can cry alot,but this particular day the baby is just sleeping.
We later found out that is some of the guys and almanjiri,we used to dash things that lead them to our house.

After two month we relocate to sabon/gari from hotoro.
Man pikin eye don see different wahala for kano. The first bomb blast that happened in kano jan 20th 2012,that is a story for another day.

My uncle was shot last in dakata,he gave up after a week.

Hope you guys have relocated too?

Rich4god:
We relocated middle of this year... Too many stories to tell abt these almajiris up north... Alot need to be done so as to curb all these religious crisis there... Cos lots of innocent pple have died in their hands... And the worst part is that, most of them see nothing wrong in taking the life of another.

If yours was funny then mine was like a film........



This happened while I was serving in Kano. I boarded a night bus from Ido during one of my trip back to Kano. Everything was going on smoothly until we got to Kaduna around 6am in the morning. We rested a bit at kaduna park after which we continued our journey around 6:30. We never knew some robbers had joined us in the bus. moreover the motor boys as they call them wanted to do shua-shua to make some money from kaduna to kano.....After a while, we realized the bus was not moving fast and 4 guys stood up.....one each at the entrance and back door and two in the middle of the bus....................The one in the middle said
Robber: (quoting some words) Good morning ladies and gentlemen........hope we are enjoying the trip so far

"we all thought maybe he wanted to make an announcement and people didn't concentrate"

Robber: You see, its been a wonderful journey so far and I guess some of us are tired already. in other not to bother you much with my story, I will be passing a bag around now and all I just require from you is your phone, wrist watch, money and your wallet.

"Everybody was like whats this one saying"

Before we raised up our head, the two guys at the entrance of the door brought out their guns.....confirmed AK47. then we all realized we are in for something.

Robber: Please, I will be coming to you one after the other. We are not here to hurt anyone, all we need is your maximum cooperation.

Then they brought out a big Ghana must go, went to the front and back, started collecting offering from people. The most interesting part of it is, anytime they get to your sit. They will say
Robber: Good Morning Sir, can you pls stand on your feet sir, Your phone sir, wrist watch....can I see your pocket pls? bring out your wallet,lemme have all the money there...Pls drop them in the bag sir.......(he will then search all over the persons body to see if the person is hiding anytyn.).....Thank You so much for your patronage sir.

One started from the front while the other started from behind. We were all scared at the initial stage but it got to a stage that since we knew the protocol, u just stand up when it your turn and started dropping everytyn you have for them. It got to my turn too and after dropping the 5k in my wallet, he asked if that's all I have and I told him am a corps member. He returned 1k back to me and he did same to some corps members in the bus.

After they collected all the money and their Ghana must go filled up...they brought out a bundle of N200 note and started distributing it to every one of us.

Robber: We thank you so much for your cooperation and we are so sorry for any delay or inconveniences we might have caused you. Pls accept our sympathy and apology. We believe the N200 should help you get to a nearest ATM once you come down from the bus. If you feel you have any complain or feedback, you can contact us on 080..........


They opened the door and jump down...we never knew their car was following us all this while. the car moved beside our bus and they entered, then zoomed off..................The robbery was like a film as most of us was wondering if we were actually dreaming or in a movie.

It happened to my sister when she traveled to Onitsha.
There was no lighter or matches @ home so she rushed out to buy a box of matches.
They flogged the hell out of her for coming out with only 50 naira @ night.

snakie86:



Their just make use of the opportunity to steal

marieolae:
Well mine happened 2
months ago.

It was actually on a sunday. We came back from church. It was my aunt
and I who were at home. We heard a knock on the door, so we expected it
to be some family members.

I answered the door nd saw 3 guys and a lady. I didn't recognise them
from anywhere and I thought they had gotten the wrong house. They asked
for " femi" or so. I told them that they were at the wrong house. They
told me to ask my aunt If she knew any "femi" around the area. They
insisted, so I left the door slightly open and hurried into the kitchen
so that my aunt could help these people out.

On my way to the kitchen, they rushed inside the house. They brought out
their guns and ordered us to lay on the floor. We followed their
instructions. They stole as much as they could. Money, my phone, gold,
food, laptops everything.

To cut the long story short, these arm robbers got away with it. The
police made no effort to find them, and they are on the loose right now.

Truman155:

When their coundn't found anybody,their have no option than to steal.

Their stole money.phone,laptop,tv,dvd,decorder,standing fan and ceiling fan,went to the kitchen and stole provisions,food stuff,their ate the rice and stew my mum cook,including the meat she fry for the week.Infact their stole anything stoleable that day.
The bed and sitting room chair is too big for them to carry,their used knife and cutlass to destroy it and the remaining properties.
How we survive is story for another day.
People please help me to thank God, that kept me alive to share these.
