@lucrabasi, my friends and I always had a rule not to talk on the phone whenever we got off the bus at night after one of our colleagues got mugged in Leytonstone station one early winter morning. We all learned to take very few possessions and most of the time leave everything in our jeans pockets especially when we had to work early or late shifts. |

@ lucabrasi, i'm not telling u off. I only find it a bit strange for someone to have that much money on him/her. I'm sorry abt the incident tho. It's quite sad! |
| Re: Have You Ever Been Mugged? Please Share Your Experience. by AmAlone: 2:02am On Apr 10, 2009 |
Mine was just some few years back. All i remembered was that they were shouting at my dad: lie down!! lie down!! Where Is the Money?! lie down!!. . . The voice of one sounds like the one I new too well, I never saw his face but was sure as hell it was him. A man had just paid my father house rent about hundred thousand naira at that time and he even gave we the kids some extra money. It was about let me say 10 yrs ago. . . . "Sunday, I saw you behind those masks you know . . . "I new it was him all along. . . . . . . .It Was damn frustrating--I couldn't prove a thing!. . .  |

I don't know if I can say I was mugged but the effect is still the same . Like three Months ago, the Girl I share a Flat with, brought Home her date for a nightcap but in the middle of the night as I went to use the bathroom, I saw her tied up but thinking it was part of a sex game, I ignored it but I went downstairs to have a drink of water, There I saw Her Date carting away our Home Entertainment System.  I tried to Scream, He threatened to stab me and I was forced to part with our Rent Money. Anyway to cut long story short, He was later caught since then, we never bring any Man Home  (unless is the One that has been "tried and Tested" ) |

@ Topic I have also been mugged when i was in Portharcourt some time ago. I was walking out of my house around 12 noon on a sunday afternoon and after walking for about 15metres while other cars and bikes were passing i noticed a particular bike man and his passenger were parked about 20metres in my front with the passenger not alighting. Am very observant, so i found that strange. Normally when you get to ur destination the bike man is usually in a hurry to drop you and pick another passenger. As i approached them i felt so uneasy i stopped dead in my tracks and turned back to start doing a fast one back but what did i see? I saw another bike with two men also parked behind me. The ones behind commanded me to continue going forward . Gosh with 4 men i had no choice . Then one of the small rascals brought out a grey gun, and told me to bring my cell phones and any money i had on me. Because of the shock of seeing the gun, i didnt move just stayed there like a zombie until he cocked the gun, ha really bad experince I moved very fast brought out ma cell phones and one without a gun wanted to start frisking me but i told him no that i had brought everything out.The rascals jumped on their bikes and silly me i called out to them to drop my sim cards( that was 3rd time in 5 months i was loosing my phones and i was just tired of the whole stuff) they didnt sha. You cant quantify that trauma, hmmmm , I heard that bikes have been banned from operating in Portharcourt, Thank God!!!!! |

I've never been mugged. |
| Re: Have You Ever Been Mugged? Please Share Your Experience. by Sagamite(m): 9:42am On Apr 11, 2009 |
I have never been mugged before but the stories are making me feel I need to be more aware. See me always dragging a travel suitcase and laptop at night in London whilst in business suit because I travel for work sometimes. That definitely should make me a potential target. Although I have quite a hefty stature, 3+ guys or just one guy with a weapon should do the job of mugging me. Knowing myself, if it is two guys without weapon then I will definitely fight even if I know I will not win, just stubborn like that and it might cost me one day. |

lucabrasi: Wow! Thank God I have only ever ordered take away from Tasty's. With this credit crunch, there are alot more hungry niggas out there. I have had at least 3 ordinary looking guys (it did not look like they were druggies)walk up to me and ask for a few bucks in Hackney and Camberwell in the last 12 months. |

pls take an unsolicited advice,and dont ever stay longer than necessary in woolwich and the underlying areas.especially with the way the economy is at the moment,these boys carry guns around and are not afraid to use 'em |
| Re: Have You Ever Been Mugged? Please Share Your Experience. by Sagamite(m): 6:15pm On Apr 11, 2009 |
Lucabrasi, I get you. I was actually there when this Nigerian boy was dying in Woolwich after being stabbed. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2363286.ece I was driving past using shortcuts to avoid traffic when I heard some guys wailing. I slowed down and looked back as I had slightly driven ahead, then I saw a boy lying on the floor. I packed went there and there was this British Gas man that was holding him and had talking to 999 on his mobile. We followed instructions from the 999 operator and checked his stab wounds while we wait for the professionals. I looked at his face and quickly figured this boy cannot be more than 15 and by this time he was not talking anymore just staring at space and blooding coming out from his mouth as well. Police and Car Ambulance arrived within 5mins. A Van Ambulance arrrived in about 12 mins and a helicopter Ambulance arrived and parked in the park by the curb he was within 20mins. But the next day I read in the papers he died. His killers have been caught and are also children of Nigerian origins. |

In a world of serial killers, rapists and assorted sociopaths you could have been relieved of a lot more than your rent money. |

I have never experienced it. The two times they robbed our Lagos home, I was not in Lagos. I was in Kwara. When they robbed our Ibadan home in 1999, I was also not in Ibadan. I was in Kwara. When they came to rob our Kwara home in November 2007, I was not at home, I was in service in Sokoto then. . And these guys, as Popsy described them, were small boys 18-21. They locked all the children in one room, told Grandma they will not kill her son while they overpowered him. They went away with his newly acquired Toyota Camry, some cash and packed all the phones they came across in the house. Street robbery/mugging? I have never experienced that one too. I stroll around in my area in VI carefreely but I have never been mugged. Highway robbery? I have also not experienced that one too. |

Not Ikeja but Iyan woro. I've heard of people being robbed but you can't understand it , the feeling is terrible , traumatising , just not right. An experience that really when you call for harsh sentences to crime offenders you wont understand until you've been at their mercy. Jan 1, 2007, Petrol crisis in Lagos but I still had to be with my queen. Omo eko, who dares tells me not to walk the streets late at night ( past 11pm). I was heading to the Island from Magodo. I was warned to spend the night but I move out late at night always. It's part of me. Decided to break my journey at Iyana woro as I couldn't get a cab or bus due to the fuel scarcity. I was the only one at the bus stop and saw two neatly dressed guys walking past and asked if I could walk to a nearby busstop to get a bus to Obalende. They said sure, they would even follow me ( how stupid I was ) not long after we begun our walk I noticed they weren't in a hurry . I look at them and surly I could take the two of em on and knock em out . One now drew my attention to look across the road. I said what? He said didn't I see anyone coming I said no, later on he said so again and truly I saw a bloke running towards our direction. I was like lets split instead these guys grabbed my, I turned round to wrestle with the bloke he was not interested in wrestling, just held me tight while the other chap put his hands into my pocket and emptied it. The guy that came running came and started swinging punches at me , which I dodged but when I saw my pocket was emptied I told them to relax and stopped struggling. I then asked for my sim card and what did I get? A punch from the guy the came running across the road. All this happened along the express road. The boys ran after someone shouted Ole!! I went into a neighbourhood to ask for help trying to explain what happened they looked at me like a liar. As soon as I said I had no money I put my hand into my pocket and found a squeezed N100 and woman and her daughter offered me a night if I needed a place and to use their phone to call. I declined but said I would take their offer if I couldn't get home. I got a guy on a bike who took my to Oblende for N100 . They stole close to N10,000, a digital camera, another camera, tw mobile phone , necklace. It was a horrible experience I didn;t get over it for months. I don't move out late any more and still know those boys ( very young boys half my size - well the guy who punch me). When I see them again, It's a punch I'd give em straight before any talk. Do the Crime do the time. Boys like those should not be allowed to walk the streets. A had a big bump on my head for asking for my sim card back. Took days to massage it away. Damn!! di d it hurt but I thank God I'm alive. I could have sworn one of em was armed. |
