Despite the ecstatic vibe attached to the last day of the year (Gruesome 2020 especially), It ended sadly for me as I experienced a near death situation.

On 31st December, I and my friend decided to experience a great cross-over night at Glory Dome, Dunamis Church Abuja. We boarded a bus from Arab junction, Jabi to Lugbe where the Church is located.

Less than halfway through the journey, the bus began to develop issues and finally stopped just before Wuye Arab bridge. We all had to come down from the vehicle in pursuit of an alternative to our various destinations.

I and my friend walked over to the other end of the bridge while we waited for a cab heading our route. Unluckily for us, we stood there for a while, we couldn’t find any cab as most of them were already filled up and most of the other passengers had already gone their separate ways.

It was becoming dark, lonely, and scary giving the nature of the place we were standing. Just less than 4feets our back were bushes, albeit downhill, and underneath the bridge is a railway track, you won’t be able to tell even because it’s filled with outright darkness.

It was becoming tiring and frustrating, we looked down and noticed 3 guys heading our position, they were seated initially for some while, we both thought they were from same vehicle we boarded and frustrated as we were, my friend suggested we team up with them and look for cab together, I jokingly replied “What if they’re here to rob us..?” We both laughed.

Unbeknownst to us, they actually were. They got closer and to where we were standing, subtly attempting to encircle us while I was looking forward to them passing us, my friend ran off immediately, before I could realize they already formed a triangle grid around me each of them bearing long, sharp knives shouting “Hey! hey!! bring your pocket..!!”.

Being ganged up, held down and threatened to be stabbed if you don’t comply, It was indeed a vicious moment for me, and all I could think of was how I could get out of that situation unhurt. But despite the fear that engulfed me, I stood my ground holding my pocket firmly while they tried to forcefully penetrate in with their hands.

My friend was on the other side, almost at the middle of the express road shouting “Thieves..!” to at least call the attention of motorists but they all formed swirled track avoiding him, perhaps thinking it was a plot to get the robbed?

After several resistance from my end, I got stabbed on my thigh by one of the guys, I then had to let go as they emptied my pocket, carting away with my phone and wallet.

Attempting to run back into the bush, I immediately went after the one that got my phone, he kind of lost orientation and was almost headed towards the bridge while his other gang were heading to the bush. He immediately turned around swinging his long knife so I wouldn’t get close, he then threw the phone to his other gang in the bush and they all ran away.

These robbers were skinny, tall hausa boys all wearing face caps, I was so devastated that if I had a gun, I wouldn’t hesitate even in a split second to put three bullets in their heads. Why does bad thing always happen to good people? I’m not insinuating I’m a saint but I’ll never to this to a fellow. Why me?

Anyways, after the sad occurrence of losing everything I had and almost my life, it reasonable to go back home just as my friend suggested, but instead we still waited, get a cab and head to the church where we had the cross over night. I personally didn’t have any good experience despite dancing and joyous experience everyone had there.

I lost my Samsung A30, Gtb, Diamond and Payoneer debit cards and some cash in the wallet all to one night

Anyways, I’m looking for who can track my phone using maybe the IMEI number? the phone pack, receipt are still intact.

Lastly, kindly learn from my story and avoid that Wuye bridge at all cost.

You're a slowpoke. Risking your life because of a probably cheap phone and pocket change. Even if you had a Rolex and a Ferrari, nothing is worth fighting for except staying alive. The only exception is if you are better armed than the assailants.

Senseless question.

Intelligence report has shown that most people who open account to beg are either betting addicts or drug addicts. Only very few are genuine.
The major issue is how to differentiate the genuine from the fake. A lot of genuine people can't get help because of the fakes.

I hate when people don't know what they want for themselves. You want marriage soon, the man doesn't, it means you are not on the same page.
When you start dating tomorrow and mention marriage, he will call you desperate. You end up wasting your time and feeling used. Why bother then? Better move on now.

What is she adding to the 15k if it's too small?
A woman who really likes you will stay. Women have stayed for far less, she doesn't like your guy. He better let her go.

Money is good in marriage, it's actually very important if you want to live a decent life. However, money comes and goes. One can have today and not have tomorrow and vice versa.

On the other hand, love is also good in marriage but it's not enough to make a marriage work. You need mutual respect, tolerance, similar goals, compatibility etc.

The ball is in your court. Do your analysis of both men and choose properly.

Someone who thinks of his fellow man. It's like the saying that you don't need to have millions to be generous. One who can give when he has little will give when he has much. These type of people will impact on others if they find themselves in leadership position.

Some people want to greet you everyday. Sometimes i wonder if they greet their own family that often. They will greet you 4 times in a week in preparation for the money they want to ask on the 5th day.

Some always want favours. Always asking for something and never offering something at all. I hardly pick the calls of people who fall into these categories.

People want sex for different reasons. For me, it's a bond and an expression of love. I don't see how a lady who claims to love me cannot give me one of her most prized possessions- her body. The only exception is if she's a virgin, then we could both wait.

You can't have given it to others and now chose not to give the man you currently claim to love. I don't smash and go, perhaps that's why I take sex seriously in a relationship.

Sex is overrated though. If you are one who changes relationship like wrappers, then beware of sex, otherwise you will end up with a high body count which will leave you feeling used, empty and worthless, irrespective of whether you are male or female.

You are being used like a toy. Your 'man' wants to eat his cake and have it.
Show some pride and walk away, nobody is indispensable. If it is mean to be it will be. I expect this talk from an 18 or 21 year old girl, not someone your age.

I've heard men tell their wives that they married them out of pity and that they forced themselves on them. It's women like you that such men refer to. Self pride is a great attribute. It is what makes people respect you even if you don't have money or good looks. Get some self pride.

Another hired writer.

No one is indispensable. You do anyhow, you get replaced. There are a thousand better options out there, you just have to search carefully.

Having money wouldn't stop people from cheating on you. I wish people would know this.
Stop spending money on others to make them love you. Invest in people that truly care about you - your family and friends.

Nice exterior, very boring interior, Toyota could be quite disappointing.

Some people in government will bend the money.

Congrats. You are marrying a 'thick' woman, don't come here tomorrow and start asking for advice on how to make your wife slim or have a flat tummy after childbirth o.

Some people don't face reality. Their wife suddenly becomes big and they start complaining, yet they married her that way.

It's unnatural to propose to a man and it doesn't usually end well. I support women shooting their shot in subtle ways, what we call 'green light'.
Most men will eventually take an open woman for granted and when the chips are down, they'll rub it on their faces and say the only reason they dated or married them was because they forced themselves on him.

So your friend is sad that someone was smart enough to see her as wife material. He is a weakling like alot of men who see good girls and let them go.

Let your 'friend' snap out of his misery and go look for his own. She is an ex for a reason.

Personally I have never kept the phone number of any ex. I don't do friendship with ex, if they are gone then they are gone. If they call me we chat and that's it.

A figment of the writers imagination.

Life is depressing. Even when you want to help, how many can you help? How many can you set up financially?
People get married hoping that 'marriage will bring blessings '. I don't know where that idea came from.
Help when convenient and refuse when you don't have. You can't kill yourself and we al have our own wahala.

That's the problem with young people. Only married couples or engaged couples have a right to tell their partners to stop communicating with another person. Even at that, you can't force them.

The girl has reaffirmed her love for you, yet you still want to order her to cut off. You don't have that right over her. In every relationship, we must know that we are not the final bus stop. We can be dumped at anytime and we must carry the matter on our shoulders and not our head.

Go back and make amends if she is a good girl. Telling her to block someone else is unwise. Everyone has a right to association till they say I do. You never know who can help you tomorrow in life.

Ironically, some of the most entitled people I know are men. They always want money to pay medical fees, feed, transport to an important place, money for fees etc. When you give them once or twice, you become the messiah they know.
I've met a few entitled women and girls but men are worse from my own personal experience. Entitlement mentality is bad and should not be encouraged from anyone.

They will always be sick people. She obviously isn't well. They are obviously sick guys too who will see this and rationalize why rape isn't such a crime.

Even an overworked female CEO still has sex. All these excuses isn't cutting it. Perhaps she has fallen out of love or was never in love. Perhaps she is getting it from someone else. Perhaps you are unkempt and unhygienic and you don't turn her on. Perhaps, sex with you is very bad.

Whatever the reason, find a way to rectify it. Lack of sex in marriage is a valid ground for termination of marriage. Your wife isn't doing you any favours by giving you sex. It's her duty and she is also meeting a biological and emotional need.

It's a simple formula, anyone that brings in the chunk of money does less house chores.
If the bill is split equally, then the chores will be split equally. I'd rather bring in much more with reduced house chores.

Same way some guys are useless to themselves and society.
There are useful and useless people everywhere irrespective of their sex. Only unintelligent people make careless statements.

It seems the mentally unstable ones are always good looking, caring and nice. When their drama starts, they will become a nightmare to you.
You are sitting on a keg of gunpowder. Better disengage gradually or your life will become miserable.

Playing video games, watching movies, reading, watching football, hanging out with friends, even nairaland etc I find nothing much interesting anymore.
I just sit home and chill with my family and watch YouTube and sleep. I hated sleeping at noon before but now I sleep out of boredom.
I still have ton of books, physical copies and in my kindle and lots of movie collections idling away.

The figure is small, considering how reckless and ignorant people still are.

Nobody is more humble than a man who is begging. I wish all Nigerians were this humble.

Heading straight to naija where our alpha males and oloshos will utilize them.
