Is It Because Of Hunger? Why Stealing Phones

But hunger shouldn't lead you to stealing na. It's more honorable to beg than to steal.

Point is, if your phone gets stolen, going to police station to retrieve it might caused you more money than buying a new obe.

Except you are connections with the top ogas.

My experience one time was terrible. I was asked to pay money to track the device and I paid and I was told they've gotten a location and they need money to fuel the vehicle to reach the locations.

At some point I gave up the chase and got a new phone since all my contacts are saved with the emails.

No Be Small Thing ooooo

Ordinary phone

Anyone stealing from the common man in this hardship period is as useless as used tissue paper, majority of this people know where to face, those they praised might have disappointed them that does not give then reasons to rob common man, they should go and do that to those whose praises they sang

An officer narrated a similar experience to me: he lost his phone. He contacted his colleague who worked in the intelligence dept at SARS office in Abattoir. He was asked to pay 30k for tracking. He paid. He said that his colleague began to dribble him upandan. He gave up and bought a new phone. I was shocked.

It's only dss that track phone in Nigeria. NPF from force hqtr have the tracking device but only uses it for politicians and "bigmen".

They might have voted APC ...but the hunger is evenly shared ...some people will be driven by hunger into crimes, some into drugs and prostitution and some suicide...come 2027 Nigerians might get sense by force ....the rate of crimes in this country majority of young voters might be in jail during next election...

Damn

Why can't a young youth try and put hands in something meaningful and enjoy the little it brings

Than engaging in snatching from those that are struggling to make it ?

What's the sense and justification to become a robber sef ?

God forbid the day these malnourished fools snatch my phone 😒

Tufiakwa.

When will you see Yaya bellloop

People wey steal phones o dem they leave there faces open but if na people wey steal cars or yahoo yahoo boys, dem go blank there faces or ask them to turn back..... ;

What a country!

They are definitely Tinubu's Urchins

They are pill addicts.
In Minna, if you drop Gold and Phone, you are more likely to meet the Gold untouched than the Phone.
All thanks to these Drug addicts Almajiris.

At least there was no jungle justice.

Very good

Deal with them, Mx boys are just too lazy and unproductive, only about 0.23% are serious with their lives.

You lots keep attributing all crimes to hardship. Has there ever been a time when there was no hardship in Nigeria? When would you sore losers have sense?

They are lucky they were not lynched
