kokoye: So..why is robbing called "one chance"?

The origin of the term One Chance is unknown but I think it was dubbed One Chance because it is another mode of robbery simply define as- The luring of any unsuspecting commuter into a supposedly registered/licensed buses passed off as the usual, normal ones. They are mostly danfos which is why it is difficult for the police to eradicate the criminality. The origin of the term One Chance is unknown but I think it was dubbed One Chance because according to urban legend, it takes a victim one chance to decide entering a bus or having a rethink given the alarming rate of criminality back then in Lagos roads. It's origin can also be rooted in the fact that bus conductors are known to shouts their destination e.g. ”Oshodi one more chance" when marketing the available vacant seat before take off. From my little research regarding the One Chance phenomenon, I realised that it crept into Lagos from Warri and the likes since it was endemic there, speculatively stating.

They don't go for only money, they take all sorts of things that is of valuable. Phones, wrist watches, laptops, snickers etc. You don't resist them. Statistics based on verbal reports states that those who have tried to show resistance have either being met with rib-crushing blows and thrown out of the bus at fast speed or ditched out with utmost aggression. My advise: if you find yourself in a One Chance situation, surrender when they demand and remember to look down because they hate the risk of being recognised. The fear of One Chancers is the beginning of "Eko Ti Baje Kin Shey Eni'. Fashola and The Police are not Batman & Robins, they can only try their best. You've been warned.

Asking the same question too. I think it's because the robber, in this case the woman, has only one chance to carry out the robbery. If caught in a crowded bus, she is toast. No where to run to. She could be beaten to death.

Back in the days, these buses are hardly identified to any motor park or garage, the just appear out of nowhere on the streets

passing through bus stops will the buses almost filled up. They normally call for passengers while still in motion. So the conductor's

normal catch for Lagosians who as you know are alwAys in a hurry is by yelling " one chance" left. Mind you, most cases always

have either females, cops or soldiers in their mist so you wouldn't even have to think twice about your safety.

In the past, when there's only one seat space left, the conductor would announce "Yaba one chance". This encourages passengers to board that bus because they will not be delayed while the conductor is trying to get passengers to fill the bus.

Robbers capitalise on this to encourage passengers to enter their bus. It also helps the robbers to subdue the passenger (there are more robbers than passengers and the victim will be encouraged to sit away from the door so that he doesn't have any means of escape).

samuelee1: Na wah oh, i wonder why N3O,OOO is the amount she's always stealing. For the record, this is a good way of handling criminals, not lynching. Let them be punished appropriately.


Good, but how are you sure that she will be punished ? she has gotten bail with the sum of 20,000 Naira, the next might be a history. The best treatment for a criminal is to stop crime. She is very lucky to fall into the hands of people who handed her over to the Police. These heartless criminals have destroyed many innocent lives. This is a time for her to repent, next time she might not be lucky.

Twisted mind, let that be the conscience if any of the victim. Your assertion point to you being birds of the same feather like the accused. What do you care if she pays double as if the trauma the victim went through is enough to equate hers. if you have nothing to say just shot the mouth.

God is ready to help anyone who believe on His word and cried to Him for help (Mark 9:20-26). We all should cry and show God that we believe His word and ready to keep His commandment and ask Him to help you to be holy and make you holy. He will do it (Mark 9:23-24). His grace is sufficient (2Corinthians 12:9). So, stop making excuses why you cannot live holy life.Remember,Jesus Christ is coming for the holy,righteous and ready people without spot(Ephesians 5:26-27; Mathew 24:42-44)

Proverbs 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Proverbs 31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

Apologise to Jesus for loving pleasure more than loving God.....for loving the world and the uncleanness in the world......for your coldness, and weakness....for your spiritual naivity, and spineless christian life. Since you said you became a christian, how many souls have you won for Jesus? Repent today before it gets too late for you.

Mathew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mathew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
1Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
