I don't give strangers lifts no matter how dey appeal. The security situation in the country does not permit such kind gestures.

This is no longer annoying but about making me to cry. What kind of useless thread keep hitting the front page?

I'm not surprised though. Nigerians simply can not manage anything...

@op, you did the right thing o. In Niger state, a guy stopped, to pick an old man. Actually, the man demanded for money (20 bucks) as the guy stretched his hands, to give him the money, both of dem disappeared. He found himself in a ritualist den with other people. According to the guy, some rich alhaji's will come and select the ones they want (like a point and kill). To cut the story short, the butcher touched him, den he found himself in zaria. Some of u guys must have heard this story..
Moral of the story, one should be very careful wen helping a stranger.


grin grin u watch too much Nollywood movies

''BE CAREFUL''

''YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL''

''PLEASE TAKE IT EASY O AND BE SAFE''

These are general things we say to ourselves even when we do not know what might actually happen. We say it to our loved ones, etc. IF WE SAY THESE THINGS ON NORMAL DAYS why would someone with an experience such as posted here not share this? It surprises me the type of comments we have posted here already.

He should have followed the old man (that is if he really is an old man) to find out what he had planned before coming to share his experience here? Some Nairalanders and their exhibition of '' I can quarrel online attitude''. Is it that some of you see your selves as ''best insulters online'' or what?

If you do not think that a man who seemingly lied about his car breaking down, and who tried to trick another person to change his route to his benefit is not suspicious then leave it at that. Simply say you do not believe or you do not think so and say why for all of us to learn. Instead of being rabid about the post.

We are quick to resort to name calling and yet without any substance to prove our point, showing how knowledge deficient and disrespectful some of us really are.

OP is paranoid.

I don't think he meant any harm.

Given that you saw him enter the same vehicle he pointed out as his means that he was actually not lying about him owning the car.

The car might not have broken down. He might not have told you in detail what exactly was wrong with his car but maybe he could not start it. It could be that he was not used to driving it. From his description he might have had a driver drive him around. He might have simply not known how to deactivate the security.

On not using a cab, he might not have any cash with him and wanted your help.

WE all need help sometimes.

Isnt there a slim possibility that he wasnt the owner of the car and only claimed he owned it so that you wouldnt look down on him and probably give him a ride? @poster, you saw the car move but were you able to confirm that he was the one driving? Just asking.

He would certainly have called the driver (or someone else; wife, friends, neighbors etc) and wait by the car.

Meanwhile, cab's service is paid after delivery not before.

Obeying your instinct more in life is a good strategy. He may or may not have meant any evil.

You prevent a lot of negatives by being vigilant.

Lol...i wish sometimes that most "doubting thomases"will actually have real life experiences so that they will realise that strange things do happen.i was walking home with a friend one evening and we had to get a cab where they usually line up.i was in front walking fast and when i turned,i didnt see my friend beside me.i looked back and he was surronded by an old man and three guys.A passerby will think they were just having a conversation because they had cornered him but i knew something was wrong.i crossed over to the middle lane and just started shouting his name,pratically screaming his name(i was attracting people attention to them coz when they see me screaming,dey will look at the direction i was facing.The unwanted attention made them go in seperate directions but not before they had removed the cash in his front pocket,dey tore the pocket sef.when he came to meet me,he was so angry becoz i asked him how could he have let that happen,knowing that place is not so safe,he said the old man approached him first,dat is why he stopped and before he could say "jack",d rest of d guys appeared so people,always be alert!

About 3 years ago, I picked up an elderly man, when I was about dropping him he told me thus: "young man, May I know why you decided to help me?" And he continued by saying: " you see, we live in a dangerous world where you have to be very careful, I can see you're young and this car is a new one. Be careful of picking strangers on the road, you never can tell who is good or who will harm you. Things happen!"
He finished and alighted, I thanked him was dumb founded for a while.
So for all the "doubting Thomases" , it's better to be safe than to be sorry.

I don't think it was kidnapping or robbery...and those high end Benz, BMW and especially Range Rovers from a few years back do break down suddenly. His may start but can't drive. To say it broke down I will buy...but to leave it on the road and say he has an important meeting to attend would make me suspicious. He should be the one afraid of being kidnapped by you. ....a random guy he stopped. Maybe the car was stolen and shut down by the security system but whatever it was...his excuse is not good. For your own safety. ..do not pick up strangers especially if they flag you down.

So, we can conclude that something minute may have stopped the car from starting, requiring the old man to seek assistance. Now we have a thread of a kidnap that never happened except in the mind of the OP.


Ok, when you are approached for help by that man, you are free to help him.

OP, we thank God for you. Many people did not live to tell their story.

My brother, with some stupid comments I have seen here, its no surprise why kidnappers still have victims to pick.
Some will even want the OP to follow the old man home.
Walahi, with some otondo mugus here eh, ritual killers will not find it difficult to get steady fresh heads and parts, tufiakwaaa. Upon all the warnings their mothers gave to them? All the dont talk to strangers lecture, dont trust strangers lessons, a stranger is a stranger even if he/ she jist with you as if you uave known each other for years. Evil people still want to push the OP into a possible early grave. Tufiakwa. I suspect them. I smell those people are afraid of bad market, so they will do stuff to disscredit the OP and make people feel comfortable helping head hunters/ robbers who pose as old men, young women, old women etc in need of physical help
Its a diff thing if that old man asked for money to buy credit to call soneone for help or to pay taxi to get home but to give a strange fellow a lift? Hell noooo!
Instead, I will call a cab and pay the driver to deliver the old man to his place of choice. No physical help o.
