Don't mean to be insensitive but what were these people doing when the house was burnt?

Thank you. By the way I am a Cameroonian and the incident occurred in Yaoundé the capital of Cameroon. Both Nigeria and Cameroon are known for jungle justice. Very sad.. I did smile on the writing credit and compliment. I use to write short stories while in secondary school. My friends called me "The famous publisher".. Hahaha.. Despite the advice from any to pursue a career in the arts I chosed the sciences..

The roasting of humans by people who carry large Bibles on Sundays, dance in churches and shout "I receive" only goes to show the hypocrites we are as African Christians.
Eighteen years ago while returning home at around 8pm I heard a large shout of "thief , thief".. Apparently a pickpocket had snatched someone's purse in the dark of the hour taking advantage of no street light in the neighbourhood. People were running helter skelter. Not after the thief but to safety. Such miscreants often walked about with poisoned knives and anyone in their way was a candidate for blood spills.

Understandably I ran towards an area with lighting. When I got there and met a handful of people I decided to stop and take a rest. Panting and laughing in excitement at my run to safety.. Then suddenly one of the people around threw a " verbal bomb".. He said he had a feeling I was the thief. I explained I was in the path of the thief when the "thief thief" echoed and only ran to safety.. A few minutes later others joined him. It was a good residential area. A lady said the police should be called in, others said I should be beaten. Burning didn't look far off. Every explaination fell on deaf ears. What prevented an initial lynching was my composure, dressing and outlook. I was just 21 years old but the very responsible type on a first glance. Clean low cut, transparent glasses , good dress sense. That was what saved me. An elderly man looked at me carefully , listened to my explanation and asked me to go. Despite protest from the others I heard him say " That guy doesn't look , dress or talk like a pick pocket. He is worth the benefit of doubt. I learnt a very big lesson that day.
1) Our lives are in the hands of the creator..
2.) Dressing responsibly according to the norms would save you from prejudice.
3) Today I have three kids. Two sons.. I make sure their hair cut is low , uniform and clean with a responsible dress sense. It could come in handy someday..

Say no to jungle justice!!

despite committing serious political harakiri and drawing a battle line with party stakeholders, Ambode has laid landmarks and dotted the Lagos landscape with his impressive infrastructures, and I doubt if uncle Sanwo can beat that. Anyways, Lagos is the next big thing in Africa and I hope the trend continues. May God bless Tinubu, Fash and Ambo for giving Lagos class.

The Chinese police did no wrong. Pastor from Anambra is obviously preaching the wrong gospel in Guangzhou, plus it was only a taser, tasers don't neccesarily kill, as a matter of fact the likelihood of dying from cardiac arrest from a taser is highly dependent on your drug use

It's safe to say, Pastor was a drug Baron, That's all.

Ask yourself why he was running and engaging the police in a Chase if he was clean.

Rip to pastor

Ps : for the dimwits who have chosen not to explicate the point of my argument but would rather be blinded by ethno tribal inclinations and seek to incite needless banter over non existent tribal slurs in my post, I only stated obvious facts and if your ox is gored simply because the subject in the post is from your tribe, I have no thought of concern for you or your mentions. Gracias

If someone set up an explosive and another finds out and sends a worker to defuse it and the worker dies while defusing it, who killed the worker?
