“I have a bag of money, foreign currency…” I was somewhere on the mainland today and I was supposed to take a bike, but decided to trek and buy some petty things along the way. It is almost Christmas, evil men and women are on the prowl. Let’s all be careful and not drop our guards no matter how they disguise. 225 Likes 21 Shares

Someone saying "Nne" to you. And you know he speaks your language Like if a one chance thief says "Omo". I'll then conclude that he speaks Yoruba. False generalisation. 73 Likes 5 Shares |

TarOrfeeek: Please keep quiet, you first-to-comment-politics-section-hoodlum. I said he asked me in Igbo. That should tell you I transcribed his question into English for the sake of non-Igbo readers. His question and my response were both in Igbo. Anything tribal, your antenna will just stand. 408 Likes 25 Shares |

Good, you didn't fall for their antics. The only time I was duped in Lagos, I was a teenager then. In hindsight, I shouldn't have been duped if I wasn't so receptive to them. They take advantage of language and religion to warm their way to their victim's heart. 40 Likes 2 Shares |

I had been a victim of this before in Festac in 2005. Was on my way to Jamb lesson when I met those hoodlums. They succeeded in collecting some money from me, around 3,000 Naira or so, in exchange to give me 50,000 dollars I thank God sha because you will be hypnotized once you start responding to them.

Very very old format. I'm amazed they're still using the format. The last time I was in their middle, I told them I was married to a Ghanaian and didn't really know my way around Lagos. Meanwhile I was buying time, waiting for them to get as close as possible to my nearest bus stop because no way in God's green earth was I going to pay for this particular trip. I smiled serenely while the fools jabbered away in excitement (they thought they don catch maga), occasionally nodding my head in agreement to the horse shït they were spewing. The recurrent motif in their antics is the bewildered French man who doesn't know he is supposed to pay for services with Naira, not USD, or the more common fleeing thief who has fled with his oga's box/bag of dollars. They are willing to give you a cut but you must go to one baba's house to swear an oath of secrecy. As soon as I got to Ikeja Along, I hopped out of the vehicle James Bond style, spread my two hands at them and shrieked waka!! The driver asked me for fare and I screamed "All of una dey craze. 419!!" I then proceeded to quickly cross the expressway like a seasoned NURTW thug and went on my merry way. Hediots. Them wan scam Omo Eko. Their very fathers 274 Likes 29 Shares |

Back in 2008 or 09 there about, they got my sister. Shit wasn't funny She was hypnotized, she came home looking stress & anxious went to where my mom hides her money (which no one in the house knew about). She took the money and Japa!! She later came back crying saying she couldn't stop herself and they were the ones who told her where the money is!! OP, you are lucky.. thanks to God. Hope you will be dropping a new cooking tutorial soon to celebrate!! 33 Likes 3 Shares |
