This town is hooot!!! The once
peaceful friendly quiet little villa is gone, and in its place…is the place
where people are being plagued by armedrobbers, thieves and all whatnots. They
come at night with guns to whichever unlucky lodge of their choice and leave
with lots of valuables, sometimes physically harming the victims…
Implications?
1) No more going out at night
2) No more taking my laptop to ICT department in the college
close to my house for free wifi
3) When someone calls me “Corper” in public, I loudly correct
them that I’m just a student o
4) when a bike man drops me in front of my house and charges
me a bit more than the usual price, I don’t argue with him and claim rights, I
pay; he could be one of them
5) when I board a bike at night, I don’t allow him to take me
straight home, I stop somewhere close to my house and walk the rest of the way
home
6) I greet every guy humbly, who says hi to me on the way; he
could be one of them
Which is the reason
why when I walked into a store to get biscuits this evening after church, and
some guys called me “Corper”, I turned and gave a polite “Good evening” to all
of them. When they asked me to join them at their table, I pretended I didn’t hear
them and walked into the store. Coming back out, one of them called me loudly
and accused me of ignoring them when they called the first time. Just as I was
about to reply if they didn’t hear me greet, I looked closely at their faces,
oh yeah, these could be part of ‘them’, and I quickly apologized that I didn’t hear
them well. When they insisted I join them, I quickly showed them my headtie and
told them I was off to church and was already late and escaped…
P.S I f any of my
family member is reading this, all of the above is not true and its just from
my imagination. This town is safe oo
