Mods help me move this to where it belongs, I no get the time to figure it out.

So, yesterday @ about 10;30pm,  I decided to go kick it with my homie at a club called Heavens in Festac. We parked, got down from my car and started walking towards the club entrance. As we walked, we noticed a 2011 BMW X6 SUV that was being tailgated by an Xterra SUV at high speed immediately screeching to a halt. As the cars stopped, the BMW driver bursts out of the car and dashes into the club. There were three occupants of the Xterra. One of them, chased after the BMW driver with what appeared to be an AK 47, and another occupant also with an AK 47 just stood outside, while there was a driver that just sat in the SUV. In less than 5 minute after all that, the gun man that went inside the club came back out, and all hell broke loose. Gunshots, I heard over 30 gunshot (yes in Festac,), and I and every body else (including some of the bouncers) were hiding behind parked cars on that street (less than 100 feet away from the gun men). After all the gunshot, that lasted for like about 5 minutes, they just droved off at high speed.

Once we figured that it was now safe to come out, as usual, folks started asking what all that was all about. We got to learn that the driver of the BMW X6 actually owns the club, and the dudes were out to kidnap him. He was actually smooth, because he immediately disappeared and blended into the crowd once he ran into the club. That made it impossible for the gunman to catch him. We guessed that that infuriated that gunmen and they just became trigger happy and started shooting. NLs, my question is, why would somebody drive such a car (X6 2011 BMW) in Festac?

The funny part of the story is that 20 minutes after, about 8 members of the NPF shows up and just stated going crazing, and yelling “lock the gate, lock the gate, nobody moves, those gun men are still inside that club”. Meanwhile the gun men broke out 20 minutes ago. It was just waaaay to hysterical, I am still laughing as I type. Anyway, we still took our chances and went inside the club. Lol, business as usual like ain’t noting happened. If that was in the USA, the club would be shut down and all kinds of police squad cars would be there. Nobody shoots 30 rounds sporadically in the USA anyway. Moving forward, one of the bounces tells me that the gun man grabbed him and yelled at him to point out the owner, but he pleaded with the gun man that the club is too damn dark and crowded for him to do that.

Anyway, folks, I dey beg una,  I know that we 9grians would always like to show off, and let the whole world know that we have arrived. If that club owner was driving a lower level SUV, like the 4runner that I drive, and kept a low profile, maybe his life wouldn’t be at stake.  My people all that flossing ain’t worth it oh. Meanwhile my homie from Chicago, has vowed not to come back to 9ja once he goes back on Monday.

Everything the poster said makes sense except the bold reddened above.

@Poster

First of all, I'm glad you are alive. Stuff like that happens man and the lapse of security in the country isn't helping matters at all. What's heavens night club like these days? I was there in December last year.

Secondly, whether the victim drove a BMW X6 or not is totally NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! You are the one accusing Nigerians of flossing too much and you are the same person that just advertised your Toyota 4runner so that we know you own an SUV (Do you see the hypocrisy?). Look, I'm not bothered about that but what you should have focused on was the insecurity in the country and not who's enjoying their money in the short space of time we all have on earth. Go to Abuja or VI and you'll see Bentley,Porsche and Maserati en-masse. You drive an SUV but do you know that there are people who look at you as someone who wasted money buying a "jeep" whereas you could have bought a 1996 model Honda accord? Same way the owner of the BMW X6 will look at the person who bought a Bentley or Maybach as a "money miss road" and same way the Maybach owner will look at the person who bought a Bugatti Veyron as a dummy. Learn to mind your own business abeg and keep your envy to yourself (Coz that's what your post reeks off). If you had the money, you would not only buy an X6 but also an SLS Mercedes AMG to go with it. Wetin sef?

Furthermore, it doesn't matter what you drive or how you floss. If kidnappers feel they can squeeze something from you, they will do it. A colleague of mine has had his in-law (a middle aged man) kidnapped since February this year. This victim drives a battered 1999 Camry and lives with his wife and 3 children in a flat! ! ! They asked for N5million. Till date, no one has heard from the kidnappers and we are already assuming he's dead. Another example is the popular actor (Peter Edochie) who drives a similar SUV as you do and he was kidnapped randomly when the criminals couldn't get their victim. They just assumed that anyone driving a "jeep" would have some change by the side.

Abeg, dey apply brain when you dey yan.

Nuff said! ! !

Lax75:

Are you serious? Na wa ooo. I didn't know this whole kidnapping thing was so out-of-hand in Naija. You are right though, once they are out to get you, they are out to get you. Regardless of whether you drive a 2011 BMW X6, or "leg-edez benz."

harakiri:

I'm dead serious ooo. Family members and friends (including myself) managed to raise a little over a million for the matter. The thing is, the kidnappers expressly told the wife not to involve the police. Well, it turns out she did and when the "delivery" was being made, the police came out of their hiding spots and succeeded in apprehending one of them who came to collect the "package". Well, that's the last we heard of them. The rest is best imagined.
