As mi lord pleases....

I never knew of cabs that carry more than one different passenger on the island. I know of danfos and mostly keke maruwa. Except if the OP is talking of keke maruwa which is unlikely the case.

I am fully aware of drops though. And quite frankly, with the unsafe situation in Lagos, entering such cabs is like signing your own death issuance.

This is why, if I have any business to do on the island, I charter a taxi - drop from a bus garage. This way, you are one step safer in Lagos.

ok - you would be the getaway driver.

dis na old tricks na, shine ya eyes

Na old format be dis

ukchy: Benin city style......Haaaaahaaaa,i laugh i greek. This is exactly how they operate in Benin city.I was serving when i encounter this kind of thing and the same nonsense story....People should be wise,although is only the greedy ones that fall for them.
Lesson,do not enter taxi that has two passenger inside already one in the front,one in the back.I try as much as possible not to enter taxi along the road again when i was in Benin because a lot of people encounter this kind of people.

Some dubious men are out there looking for who to take advantage of.People be WISE

I reside in Benin city and there are occasional stories here and there. I personally feel that the safest means of public transportation within the city is the BUS. This is due to the fact that they are almost always filled with market women.

One new trick they employ now is to ask unsuspecting people inane questions, and the minute you reply, the 'charm' starts working. Take for instance, I went to Lagos street to purchase something one day. When I was done, I proceeded to board a bus going to Sapele road and this man taps me from behind. When I turned to face him, he asked me for the time on my watch. That's when I knew he was up to no good because I wasn't putting on a time piece so how could I have possibly known what the time was saying?

I calmly entered the bus before giving him a serene smile coupled with a stiff middle finger. So beware of people asking inane questions in the most absurd places.

you can get such cabs at the following locations in Lagos:

1. Obalende under the bridge and they ply Ikoyi.

2. Obalende park and they ply Bonny Camp, Bar beach, Eko Hotel route

3. Check point bus stop along Akin Adesola Victoria Island, and they usually source for passengers at Law school. They operate betwen 5:00 AM till about 7:00AM every morning and they ply Ajah axis

4. Ogudu and Ojota. They ply Ogudu to Ojota to and fro....These are the ones I can remember now.

@PATAKI, the fact that you dont know doesnt mean that it doesnt exist....always make your research before you comment online.

Rooneyboy: Anybody that falls for this their mode of operation must be an Idiut

Like you own your life

OP I thank God for you. Hence the importance of saying your prayers before leaving home everymorning.

Your written English is excellent. Quite coherent. Yet you think somebody can "charm" you by asking for the time (once you respond)?

LMFAO!!!!

logica: You written English is excellent. Quite coherent. Yet you think somebody can "charm" you by asking for the time (once you respond)?

ROTFLOL!

deife: I'll be as brief as possible, Nairalanders. To tell you that kidnappers & ritualists exist & are on rampage is an understatement. What you need to be aware of is that they adopt different strategies to capture their victims. I'm going to share with you one approach so as not to become a prey.

I was at Law School busstop at about 6.30am today when I saw a cab & told the driver my destination. He told me to board. I noticed that there was a 'passenger' beside him & another one at the back. So I sat at the back.
Within 30 seconds of our journey, the young man beside me offered the driver #100 as transport fare. Immediately, the driver started shouting. The dialogue ensued between both of them:

Driver: How dare you offer me a hundred naira as transport fare? Aren't you the one that put that bag in the trunk? In fact you have a case to answer. Where did you get that huge amount of money from?

Passenger: (sobbing & genuflecting) please don't expose me. My boss died this morning. He was a Hausa man who ran a Bureau de Change business. He died after a brief illness. As soon as he died, my colleague made away with one of his vehicles. Because I don't know how to drive, I decided to make away with this money.

Passenger at the Front: How much is in the bag?

Passenger: 1.1 million dollars

Passenger at the Front: Oga driver, you know what? Let's strike a deal with the man. (Facing the Passenger at the back who at this point is already shaking like a jellyfish) Are you ready to share this money with the rest of us on this car?

Passenger: Yes sir!

All along I was quiet.

Passengerthe one who 'stole' the money) We need a herbalist or witch doctor to help us make the charms ineffective because the last time I tried to touch the money, I fell down.

Driver: (Cuts in) that's no problem. We will get a pastor or a herbalist to destroy the charms.

At this point, the passenger asked for my views. To be candid, so many things were on my mind. I felt this could be the 'major break' I had been trusting God for. On the other hand, I wasn't comfortable because if what the passenger said was anything to go by, & I partook in spending the money, I would have murdered Peace & Sleep.

Me: No true pastor will agree to be a part of this.

Before you could say Jack Robinson, the Passenger at the Front quickly offered to phone a herbalist that he claimed to know. Meanwhile the driver had taken the alternative route instead of going through the Toll Plaza. As soon as we got to a point, I told the driver to stop, I told him I wasn't interested, & immediately got out of the car & took a long walk.

To cut a long story short, when I got to work, I just hinted my colleague about my experience without going into details & guess what she said! She told me their modus operandi which tallied with what I experienced today.

So Nairalanders, I urge you to always take time to pray before you go out & be close to God. Put God first in all you do & be security conscious. May you not die untimely in Jesus' name & may God's grace be constantly available to you & your loved ones.

Old trick ,only the gullible and stup1d ones falls for this shyte.

logica: Your written English is excellent. Quite coherent. Yet you think somebody can "charm" you by asking for the time (once you respond)?

I was the biggest of doubtful Thomases until it happened to my brother. Someone stopped him along a busy street ostensibly to ask for directions to a bank that was ironically just across the road from him. The second he said 'that's the bank over there...', he fell into a zombie state. Maybe you could explain this to me? Is there a medical term for what I've described above?

To cut a long story short, we had to tie him up real good and bundle him to a pastor for prayers. All he kept mumbling was: 'I have to give "them" the money...' It took 3 days, but he eventually came back to his senses. I'd be a fool not to learn from his experience.

Seriously though, why would someone ask for the time from another individual who's not wearing a time piece? Just in front of a market? There were even some mallams who repair wrist watches a few meters away from where we stood. Why me?

Your brother was hypnotized by some means. It is not juju. Even intelligence agencies like the CIA do these kind of things. But it was much more than just from asking for direction; he was probably kidnapped and then hypnotized. Of course it is understandable that he will not remember the details because memory loss does occur.

All he kept mumbling was: 'I have to give "them" the money...'

^^^^^^^^
That is quite expected from someone under the influence of hypnosis.

I'll stick to my default mode in these situations - pretend to be deaf and mute. Its better to be safe than sorry. For that reason, I do not answer questions from strangers. Touching or any form of body contact is highly prohibited. I was in this bus one day and the male passenger beside me suddenly placed his hand on my lower abdomen. First thing I did was to calmly remove his hand. Then I checked to make sure all my 'unmentionables' were intact. Fully satisfied, I aimed a swift blow to his g.r.o.I.n. The imbe.cile could not explain why he started coughing and gasping to the other passengers. I'm not the surrogate conductor in a bus...hence, no one can pass his/her bus fare expecting me to hand it over to the driver/conductor. Extreme caution is the watchword when moving in public.
