That was my dog Tracy

Missali:
At 11pm last night, I was awoken from sleep when I heard footsteps at the window. There is a curfew at 7pm and at that late hour, it is expected that people are in their various houses. This is not the fist time robbers have attempted to break into my house but this was intense.

I quietly got up from the sitting room floor I was laying on and moved to the bedroom to join my grandmother and baby cousin on the bed.
Gradually, the footsteps heightened and from the room window I could see men standing. My heart sank and I suddenly, I had a hard time breathing. My grandma tried to calm me down and it seemed to worsen.

I wasn't wearing any cloths and I usually sleep and thought of getting something to put on. These robbers sometimes rape girls and it doesn't help to be naked in the first place. That would cause some noise so I decided to forego the thought.

They started to spread out. A number of them moved the front and some went far out to the background. The ones at our window kept talking in whispers. I really couldn't fathom what they were saying as my heart was racing faster than I could ever imagine and suddenly I heard these words 'pass me my gun.'

I think I died! Immediately I turned into a prayer warrior, mumbling incoherently in whatever tongues I could speak. I asked God to forgive my sins, I thought of hiding under the bed or inside my grandmother's wardrobe. But what about her and my cousin of 4years?
I tapped grandma to tell her what I just heard and she assured me to keep calm, my cousin on the other hand was very much asleep. I instantly wished I could turn into a child and be unaware of what was going on in my surrounding.

Taking a pillow I covered my head and put a fingerin each ear. Their voices grew louder and just then, a dog started to bark. I have always hated that dog (and all dogs generally), but I think it helped us.It barked violently from a distance and seized a bit. Then resumed, this time even more and came towards our window, running and barking. I could hear the footsteps of the thieves fading as the dog got near and soon after, there was a heavy downpour; the kind that shook the place.

They went to other people's Windows and probably other compounds.The rate of robbery in some parts of Rivers State is becoming alarming. Needless to say, I am not sleeping at home tonight. Should my heart keep skipping this way, I may have hypertension before 20.

so you still live with your grandmum? lol

thank God your ok

Try and buy SHAWAMA for d dog

D experience of april 21st 2001, wasn't nice at all. U can't just b man enoff.

Sweetyie:

Artistree:
Op, please don't mind these members asking where you stay in PH, I mean what is the essence of the question? Were you the three musketeers that went to the area? Even armed robbers sef are either guests or members on NL, so answering that question is at your own risk.
We thank God they didn't succeed, obviously they just stopped at your window to discuss and not to enter your apartment.

I think the questions would not have come without a reason. The storyline, or maybe, reallife story as put up there says a veeeeeryyyy heavy downpour ended d whole scenario, so let d op give an answer to d questions of location before we believe d story. Period!

You are indeed a great poet! Pick up your pen, start writing for publishing, i bet, you will excel. I actually enjoyed your piece that i didnt want it to end though it was a terrifying experience for you.

menix:
All these were happening and grand mum was not bothered..

I wish I had that kind of Grand mother, my spiritual life would have made me a president..

Even imagine, all this while they entered ur compound the dog did not surface until they were called spiritually..

Sister ur Grand mum is African Khalesi..

U sleep nude bah, u must have a spiritual husband..

Pls shut the fo.ck up. Every thing have to be negative for some people. How will i exploit knowing where it happened.

Dude pls swerve

Have u heard of proof reading..

VickyRotex:

I understand how you feel. Try to sleep, and worry not. You'll be fine.

When I had an encounter with armed robbers on the road, it took me about 3 weeks to sleep well.

It wasn't easy.

Its not funny at all. That encounter isnt one to forget in some years. It takes atleast a decade if not a lifetime.

oga where it happened is none of ur biz as that is very sensitive info, u already know it happened in ph so what else do u wana know?
u should consider the security situation in that region as we all know is very high in crime rate and just like someone said what if the robbers are on NL nko? or is even reading this thread!!!!!!
I expect that u apply some wisdom and discretion in your comments.
think wisely before u type and not the other way around....

And where do you think i am based. So when you hear something bad happen in your city you wont be curious to know if it is in your neighbourhood or not. Dude looks like you are a busy body. Carrying someone else problem on your head though it affects you in no way whatsoever.
Keep out of other people's business you will leave longer.
