Hello, I was robbed today at my house and the thief or thieves placed a keg of palm oil at my doorstep. I woke up by 1 am or thereabout and saw my door open and to my surprise, I spotted the keg of oil too.

At first I didn't take it serious because I felt it was my friend who kept it there although it made no sense at all. I then stood up to close my door. My friend said he came out of his room and was surprised to see the keg of oil but thought I was the one who kept it there.

Not long after, he opened my door to tell me we have been robbed. They took our TV which is brand new. It's really heartbreaking but also surprising. The thief of theives gained access through the back door which was locked properly. How they got in through there remains a mystery to me.

After digesting the whole thing, we stepped out of the house to discover that they came prepared because the barb wire on the fence was cut meaning they brought a tool to do that.

My question now is that the keg of oil placed at my door was it some sort of juju to make us unaware of what was happening? Because we didn't hear a single thing throughout.

Let me add that they didn't take any other thing aside the TV which means they came for just the Television. I believe it must be someone that came into the house not too long to fix some things there.

Please I want to know if that's some sort of juju or if someone has had a similar experience.

PS: For those asking, the keg of palm oil was taken from my kitchen store. It is mine. Funny thing is they didn't carry away any other thing because they are so many things for them to take.

They left the keg of palm oil so you and your friend can use it to eat yam and have enough energy to cry for the stolen TV.

But if there is no physical trace of how they gained entrance, common sense should tell you that it is either you or your friend stealing from yourselves and capitalizing on your love for superstition to outsmart the other.

First of all, sorry for your loss,

Second of all,
Africans and all these archaic superstition sha.
You better go buy one derica of beans and cook it till it is very soft and succulent, (you can also add one ripe plantainto it, eat and thank God for your life.

A picture speaks more than a thousand words,
Here you have it.

AZControversial:


you dey find trouble with this pic

Lol
We still have some remaining @dem MANNA kitchen o
Oh lalacious

Oga, carry the oil and cook food and eat.....


Me like this... I need that oil.... These days we the check junction where ritualists the keep foods.... Na our daily meals weh the take survive for this country be that...


They probably stole it from another place and couldn't carry it along with the TV, so they decided to keep one behind and go with the other. ...


If you no need the oil... Abeg waybill am for me...

HOLLY GRAM SO SORRY MAN. SAME REASON I TRUST NO 1. SAME REASON I HIGH ON MY KUSH 24sc.. WTF MAN

Definitely a swap.

Ahahahaha.... Abeg na everyday Nairaland dey make me laugh and forget my worries even if it's just for a while. They brought the palm oil or it was the one you have in your kitchen Either way you get to make use of it, like someone suggested up there use am chop yam or take am fry stew.

Na one of una steal am from each other
D keg of palm oil bla bla bla is to create some sort of distraction and confusion....which according to your post,its already working

Your suspicion is right. Inviting an handyman living in your area to fix things in your home is now a problem,the terrain is known to them,so most return at the dead of the night to break in

I dont think they are thieves. Despite the hardship caused by buhari, I dont think any right thinking thieves would forgo a whole keg of palm-oil for only TV. Start calling your distant relatives in the village if anyone of them sent palm-oil through anyone, then start your investigation from there. Sorry for your loss

They stole from you and still left a keg of oil other people are looking for?, my brother use the oil it's a sign of appreciation and to console you for the tv, just like a by force trade by barter.

Una do trade by barter
That will make them feel like they didn’t stole from you but rather gave you what they think you might not have
Probably they know you guys lacks palm oil in your kitchen

I believe you didn't read what I wrote else you wouldn't have settled down to compose this rubbish.

simple logic. The keg was used or supposed to be used as a footstool to climb

Na trade by barter dem do so o..
Sorry for d loss of ur new TV ..

You and your friend should check your conscience very well.

Sometimes try to use your head. It's not for fancy. Making silly jokes doesn't make you funny but stupid.

If you use your own head, you will know that the first place to report a crime is with the law enforcement agents. Why are you seeking validation from nairaland. Does here look like a police station?

Having a fenced compound with barbwire ain't safe anymore, the barbwire could be loosened with pliers or similar tools or they could place bundles of protective clothing on top of it and scale your fence. To buy dog no be small matter,wetin you wan d feed carnivorous dog if you no get money ?
They prefer midnight cos you will be prolly dead asleep especially 1-4 a.m. when the night is dead cold.
So to be safe;
*Get a dog if you can afford to feed
*Your bed should be very far off the window, sometimes they enter and find nothing to steal, they resort to opening the windows and your phone or laptop might just be laying carelessly after the day's work on the bed or whatever that's close to he window.
*Turn off all inner light when you want to sleep, atleast you have a better view than someone outside.
*Get a shotgun or sharp cutlass ( when u sense foul, don't raise alarm yet, carefully play along and set a snare, don't fail to leave a deep laying cut in your first victims forehead.
*You can opt for local alarm (tie strings or chords with materials that jingle, make enough and tie around all the doors from the inside, these guys can screw open your door if you lock with keys( not possible for bolts), also tie around your windows from the inside, or you leave a small object in-between the window layers, so as when on tries to open it, it resists and alerts you.
*All valuables in the compound should b chained together, like Generator sets, AC(protective case )

Few I have to say

stop acting dumb, learn or move away. I pray you enter into such situation and waste your money contacting law enforcements

It's obvious you are a depressed fellow. Go and wallow in your depression

No pictures, no belief.

In my own observation.the thief is a nice thief.he wasn't thieving he did trade by batter.he saw u needed palm oil,while him needed tv set.so he exchanged the tv set with palm oil.in dis buhari regime if u price that keg of palm oil.u will see that the price of that tv set is so much close to the price of the palm oil

The country is really messed up

..

NwaAmaikpe the nairaland Madman has already said the obvious but the op wouldn't believe...

Ah..

Op

A keg of palm oil now sells at about 24k.


Rush to the police station and table a statement. The thief or thieves may have forgotten what they stole from another neighbor in your place

Be careful of the kinda handyman you call to come fix things in your crib as they might be involved in dirty deals and activities.

Try to get like three to four dogs if you can afford them and install cctv in your compound while at the same time you should install electric wire not barbed wire on your compound fence

Last but not the least: Get a sharp Machete because anything can happen at any fvcking time

I see the black man continuing to believe in juju despite the many proofs there is nothing like that

I see OP eventually wising up only when he is old man..
I see him investing in man of God for protection. I see him and many others fortifying themselvs as the oba of Benin did and still the British kicked his ass
I see human trafficking continuing in benin despite oba's curse
