Man shares the life-saving advice that his uncle once gave him when he was stranded.

This is December.

1. Never press your phone beside the window while in a moving bus especially at Ketu. Oju e ma bo.

2. Hold your phone and wallet in your hands while struggling to enter danfo.

3. Avoid Sienna if you can.

4. Beware of Nigerian Police, they don’t mean well for you.

5. While walking on a lonely dreaded road, walk like a tout.

6. Before leaving home, tell someone where you are going.

7. When you see people running, RUN. Ask questions later.

8. Don’t stay out late. 7pm is not bad to be at home.

9. Inside traffic, always look right and left. Don’t sleep.

10. In all, be security conscious. ✌️

Everything he listed there are basic things every Nigerian ought to know without being told by anyone...

The street rules are non-negotiable, especially if you're holding forte in major cities like Lagos or Onitsha. The moment you dull yourself (loose guard), that's when your phone and wallet go missing! 🚶‍♂️
If you're heading to the market, forget all that 'fine boy' swag or forming boss. Dress down, stay lowkey, and resist the urge to show off.

And for your own sake, avoid any form of fight. Those agberos and street guys? Some of them are literally looking for trouble—they're wa_king dead, it’s always best to stay safe and smart!

If you have cigar by midnight, people avoid you... Cigarette shops close around 10pm.

Some criminals before action takes drugs. Sometimes, after a while when the high is coming down, smoking even cigarette would bring back the high feelings a little. So someone still smoking at midnight instinctively is danger (they would assume he might want to do something and is dulling his conscience).

These are all street rules in Nigeria, not an advice to a broke nigga.

A broke nigga is someone who's down and fear no fall

So all these rules made you rich...?

Ok o!

Hand never meet you just dey show yourself. The street is far beyond this level now bro. If you like carry Igbo Dem go still clean u kill u join

COMRADES, it's a nice piece of advice, but as it is currently in Nigeria does one needs to be cautioned about these things?

Hold your phone and your wallet in your hand!

I can’t remember when last i put these items in my pocket, since I had an experience when someone pickpocketed my small nokia touch-light several years ago. Thank God my iphone wasn’t present in the same pocket that day

Eko is not for the weak

Everything in summary is just be street smart

In Ebaykada's voice:
No go where dem no call you
No let money finish for your hand
E get why
Stay safe o

Very good advice. God bless your Uncle.

Thieves have been burned daily in Lagos since I knew of the act in 1999. 26 years later, who are the thieves still robbing commuters? Them suppose don finish since.

Congratulations 👏🎉 to you,
U gat good uncle

Good piece of words.

But that no.7 make me laugh

This one is the most important one drafted by me and Zuby77.

Whenever you're walking on the road especially in Lagos. Always frown your face like a thug.(No smiling)
Everyone is a suspect.

Lols...

As if kidnappers wey dey sell human parts care if you dey broke.

Just no meet these animals...

While you latch on to the 5th rule while hoping to get to your destination safely, don't loose guard on the 4th rule too. The same govt thugs also want to rob you of your fortune at the slightest opportunity.

It will be very hard for me to comply with number 7 and 8

Number one happened in my present today in ketu while we're in traffic a girl was pressing her phone inside bus

One guy just grab her phone and run

Everything happened within a second, the was crying eeh seeing the guy that took her phone crossing main road

So sad

There are no bid deal from the advice, only that it's coming from a victim or experienced person.

No 5 connected to no 4. While walking like a tout, police officers can arrest you 😆😆😆😆

I go say when you see people running, look for a safe place to hide.
Many people don join people run go meet their death.

Neva sit down in the middle inside keke.

The driver with an empty keke will stop for you to enter, then stop at another junction for someone else to join you. Few minutes later, another nigga will enter, both of dem locking you in the center. A gun will be shown to you, all your possessions(phone, money, bag) will be collected from you.
