Remember, crime does not pay. Hard work, honesty, and patience are the true paths to success. Stay alert, Oyo people, my beloved state, and let this serve as a lesson to any youth tempted by quick gains. Kudos to the Nigerian Police for apprehending the robbers and keeping our streets safe.

Robbers went after chicken feed? Meaning they were prepared to go through the hard work of selling it? Or maybe they had someone ready to buy them at knock-off prices. Na waoh.

Amateurs!

That's what I find puzzling. Steal chicken feed? Maybe they wanted to go into the poultry business.

Thieves don't think like that. They will simply reduce the prices to something very nonsensical and look for the next thing to steal.

Hmmmm....awon Ara ibi...make I no talk
