Some men of underworld stormed my area yesterday morning between 1:30-2am while everyone was asleep.

They first robbed the nearby house before coming to my place, I've never experienced such a thing before, though I wasn't robbed, they probably thought I wasn't inside because I didn't display my curtain outside, i didn't put my footwear outside as well, I also switched off the lights the moment I knew they were around trying to break the entrance door.
My apartment is self-contained inside a big compound, some of my neighbours were not at home yesterday, so they shut their doors, those criminals only entered the ones they knew people were inside.
I was so scared guys, I wrapped my big phone and power bank in a nylon bag and put it inside foodstuff leaving the small phone and some amount of money should incase they strike.

It was a moment of confusion, but they didn't beat or injure anybody sha, their Modus operandi shows that they know the terrain well.

I'm already planning to leave the place as soon as possible.

We went to a nearby police station to report the case but they referred us to another division, they said they can't handle it

There's no security in this naija.

The Insecurity of Human Lives and Properties in Nigeria is So Alarming because of The Increasing Level of Poverty of Hunger and Starvation in Nigeria coupled with Poor Financial Education and Empowerment Initiatives.

So what's the trick you applied?

They didn't come to your side most probably because they were running out of time or maybe because they know who you are, NOT because of any useless trick you think you applied.

Nonsense undecided

Re: Armed Robbers Invaded My Neighbourhood and this trick saved me by Enyimbamercedes: 10:25am On Jan 31, 2022
Here is a better trick, always a pan of oil on standby. When ever they visit and are being entertained in the neighbouring houses, turn on the fire and allow the oil heat up. When they come knocking, intentionally leave a window open to signify that you are a welcoming visitor and probably one of them will put his unfortunate face there.

If your pan of oil is nicely heated...feel free to toss the content in his face.

Another trick, connect a live wire to your door handle. This only works if you have electricity.

Last trick, get a shot gun. When they come visiting, pepper them with a cartridge load of birdshots. Even better if you have buckshots.

Reason why I think people should be allowed to have guns in their homes... Things are getting so hard on daily basis and life is taken away so easily at slightest provocation. Corpses littering our streets like spoiled fruits

Godforbid but imagine they got into your crib. They gonna painfully woop your black ass, beat you thoroughly and leave you so messed up and with blood dripping profusely from your body.
The corntree has morphed to what we can't really control. Prices of virtually everything is sky High and the rate of crime is disturbing and disgustingly high.

People want to make money that has so much lost its value and sad part? They're damn ready to go extreme and get it. Do unbelievable things Like pooping unabashedly in a busy junction where throngs of people pass, showing us their wrinkle and tired yansh

Some Nigerian people are ready to remove, cut off and dismember that head sitting proudly and profoundly on your neck. They are ready to put it into a bag with blood dripping...They call it ritual. They're ready to use their fellow citizens for ritual.

These people are ready to take life they can't create, build or design.

There's too much wahala in this corntree.
Buy guns and keep at home and don't allow what happen to be bygones

The young and old want the money and they can kill for it. It's painful. We all need a gun in our homes. Nigeria is now something else. Wild west? I don't know.

Those nicompoops have no iota of mercy. They can go the extra mile, as far as chopping off your head with no remorse. Kindness is not recorded in their book.

That was how they stormed my brother's neighborhood. The same neighborhood I lived in with him the past year. They were more than properly armed. The local security men or even the police could tremble at the sound of the heavy gunshots that were fired into the air.

They took siege of the whole area and tamed one of the most dangerous security dogs at the area, it was not untill late in the morning that the dog was found lying helplessly on the ground.

They either requested you quietly unlock your door or have it broken into pieces for you. And when they did, they would leave you in an unrecognizable state with series of brain-resetting and ill-fitting slaps and beatings.

My brother had to climb top-roof of his house ceiling with his friend, saying surreptitious prayers and probably thinking what would become of them when the armed robbers were done with his immediate neighbour.


Fortunately, his only Grace was the padlock he left outside of his door. They thought the tenant wasn't around and they only kicked at the door and hurriedly left.

I don't wish to fall into the hands of those devils. It's indeed not a pleasant experience. Only God can save us from the ferocious devourers who easily make off with people's hard-earned money with reckless abandon.
