One chance ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ’ธ

how to know you are about to be rubbed or you are being rubbed.

Let me create a scenario,

you are late for work so you get to the junction, you halt a cab that has four people in the back already, a โ€œmamaโ€ in the front, you know they carry two in front now โ€ฆ(terrible transport system)

So you quickly jump in because you believe the cab will not be stopping to fill up any unoccupied spaces.

Unknown to you my darling, you my dear is the one they are looking for. ๐Ÿ˜”

So the driver moves, the next thing you will hear is the โ€œmamaโ€ saying :

My pikin Abeg make we adjust this chair my leg don de pain me, ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Because you are so considerate you try to pay attention to the โ€œmamaโ€

Before you make a move the โ€œmamaโ€ has starched her hands across you down to the handle below the front chair to try to pull the seat backwards. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Toh, the โ€œmamaโ€ does this for close to 2 minutes, let me mention how uncomfortable you already are, perhaps telling her to stop will sound rude, insensitive, inconsiderate and disrespectful.

The next thing you do is also try to pull or tug the handle underneath the chair. ๐Ÿ˜ซ

This is another 2 minutes or so.

Well, the chair wonโ€™t budge, you paid and alight.

You got a keke. To take you to your destination.

While in the keke, you decide to check a chat on WhatsApp. ๐Ÿ˜’

Thatโ€™s where you discovered your phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ is gone.

All bells ๐Ÿ””. Going off inside you.

Shay you will not empty your bag inside that keke, while you talk to yourself loudly?

You now start over thinking backwards or so.

You start questioning yourself, analyzing and asking yourself things ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ซ

  • Was anybody using phone in the car?
  • They all seemed choreographed sort of.
  • Where they all worried about the chair not moving?
  • How many people had their hands in my bag while I tug the front chair?
  • So that โ€œmamaโ€ I greeted is a thief?
  • You will asking yourself if you were careless ?
  • ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿซฅ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’”
  • Hay God!!!
  • โ€ฆ

What you will be thinking is how to do welcome back,

if they have used your sim to make any

Transactions? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Did I mention itโ€™s a public holiday?

Itโ€™s Good Friday o and every one is on holiday

service providers will resume on Monday my dear.

By then, a lot of damage would have gone down.

Keke man telling you to drop this is his last stop. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ but you canโ€™t even hear him.
