10 Ways To Avoid One Chance Vehicles by Donald3d(m): 1:57pm On Jan 31, 2017


In case you do not know what “one chance” means ,in summary its when you board a vehicle and end up been robbed or kidnapped by the owner of the vehicle or the occupants.

After my dad narrated his ordeal of been robbed and almost thrown over the Third Mainland Bridge, I have always been extra careful,and you should too,except you have taken swimming lessons grin grin grin grin .

Here are some tips to hep you avoid “one chance” vehicles .

1.Be Careful When Offered A Lift

Especially for the ladies , be careful when offered lifts ,I personally advice ignoring lifts except you know the occupants of the vehicle very well .


2.Be Careful During Odd hours

At certain hours of the day you would be more susceptible to one chance vehicles , especially very early in the morning and very late at night.So be careful.


3.Be Observant

Before you board a vehicle observe the vehicle very well and take note for any suspicious activity or intentions,even though most times its not glaring you still have to be extra observant.

4.Is A Policeman Present ?
A policeman or soldier present in a bus , gives an extra confidence.But I have heard stories where they have been used as camouflage ,so you still have to be careful.But most times its safe.

5.Trust your guts
If you feel uncomfortable ,just trust your instincts and don’t board the vehicle.

6.Avoid All Male Vehicles
An all-male vehicle is a no no.Even though it might not be dangerous ,its better safe than sorry.


7.Be Calm

I know you might be late for that appointment,but its still best you take your time and choose the right bus.Don’t rush.

8.Make Use Of Bus Stops And Parks
Its best to always board vehicles from parks and bus stops ,the buses there are most times registered to an association , so its safer.

9.Always Sit By The Door If you Can
When you eventually choose a bus ,try to always sit close to the entrance.As much as possible avoid buses whose owners or conductors insist you go far inside when there is still space close to the entrance.


10.Always Enter Registered Vehicles

In most parts of Lagos for example the Yellow buses with Black stripes indicates registered buses and cabs .So always board registered vehicles .



I hope you learnt a thing or two.

It only takes the grace of God to avoid one chance vehicles. I heard the story of a woman in Ibadan on her way from Bashorun to Akobo who boarded a painted taxi (Nissan Micra). That was the last thing she remembered. She woke up around 4am and found herself in a hall with about 50 people. Some of them were being prepared to be slaughtered. She said she overheard conversations on the phone in which the patrons were asking for body parts. She said she still had her phone in her pocket because it was on silent and she wore tight fitted jeans. She quickly made a call to her husband, who in turn tried in connivance with the security agencies to try and track the location of the call.
To cut the long story short, when she was being prepared for the sacrifice, the guy assigned to shave her hair injured himself and blood was dripping from his hand. The leader of the group saw this and she was rejected and they said they should release her to go. She said from what she saw, the place was heavily guarded by armed men in uniform, though because of visibility, she could not tell which force they belong.
She was eventually dropped off somewhere and she found her way back home.
Not everyone is that lucky.

Very correct and incisive! The most apt and reasonable amongst them is avoiding or being very careful at odd hours....

The most important would be to trust ur instincts, it's often right. Because those points you raised are as good as useless especially when u see a bus with both male and female (even females carrying baby) . With gospel music being played on the bus' stereo. U would not have a clue except God helps you to know which one to enter.
