Last week, a woman came to my mum's shop,acted like she wanted to buy some goods and in the process stole my mum's bag.
This woman had a baby strapped to her back,came into the shop like someone that had business to transact and stole the bag. As if this is not enough she took the money that dear mother had just gotten from the bank,took her bank ids and driver's license and dropped the bag in a bus enroute Ishagamu in Ogun state,all the way from Lagos-Island. Also last week some J.S.S.3 boys took a classmate of theirs to Ajah to sell to Ritualists and their evil act was cracked by the 'Keke Maruwa'* driver who had been chartered to take them to Ajah from the Island and back . The man asked them where the victim was when 3 of them instead of 4 came back into the Keke but they gave him a story about the victim being a teacher's boy and he was helping the teacher with some chores. However he became concerned when he saw that the boys had a polythene bag full of money and he tricked them into thinking that he had things to do at the Lion building(which was the closest police station) where he relayed his suspicions and they were apprehended by the police..The boys quickly confessed that they went to deliver their classmate to someone who offered them money. By the time they got back to the drop site the fourth boy had been killed with his head and genitals cut off. What do we do to help this nation? To the woman who has unknowingly initiated a little child into stealing by taking her along on her crime trip and the children who at this young age have learnt how to sell their mate to his death.This means that children are not safe with their friends and mates anymore. I cringe to think of the fact that i will bring kids into this world,how do we nurture and protect them? Really i fear for them . What is the way forward,we need to help ourselves before we cry to God. This country isn't safe anymore.
P.S; I am dedicating this post to Lovelife4sale,Randoms first male follower *hugs* . Pls ignore the errors,it happens when i am rambling.
Sorry about the money and things your mom lost. Hope she has gone to the banks to lay a complaint and get her accounts monitored. And to think that the thief came with a baby, so no one would suspect her of having such evil intentions. As for those boys, na wa ooo. At JSS3 their minds are hardened enough to sell their classmate. Very sad indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dear,We've done that. The story of the J.S.S 3 students is very sad. Makes me fear that things have really gone awry for Naija.
ReplyDeleteogaooooo!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethis is horrible!!...haba naw
It really is
ReplyDeletewhen things like this happen, one might begin to think every beggar is a thief. there have been so many talks about things gone bad, the bag issue is a lasgidiane thing.Quite unfortunate, but the kids...now that's very scary. very scary!
ReplyDeleteMehn Ladi, i tire ooo.
Deleteoh no! I was actually hoping the boy was alive, but it certainly broke my heart when I got to the death part.
ReplyDeleteThis thieves are everywhere, a friend of mined was robbed by two guys who disguised themselves as pastors, they kept reshipping to her and before she could realize, she was robbed of everything she had.
sorry about the things your mum lost. its well... that's all I can say, thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm following you too.
Thanks Priscy,Its only God that can help us on the thief issue because re-orientation aint working.
DeleteHeard the Ajah ritual gist-really unfortunate. We live in a jet age, quick-fix era where young people want things beyond their reach, and are unwilling to work to earn them. So they look for all sorts of shortcut schemes to riches, including murder. The problem of this nation has a great deal to do with the foundation that parents are putting in place for posterity. If things are sorted at the family level, because families make up the nation, then a lot of ills would be contained. It's really sad.
ReplyDeleteLook at the mother that stole from your mum's shop-can you see the foundation she is laying for her children? Our homes are sick, that is why the country is sick as well. Unfortunate.
