I Went to pick my wife from work on friday(28th Dec 2012) while on the mile 2 bridge I notice that the car/driver in front of me was been harassed by area boiz and they were demanding for money or else they will damage the side mirror of the car( Hyndai elantra)..the driver quickly parted with some money and they left him (for the moment)..

I knew I will be next on their list cus

1) the traffic was @ a stand still..
2) I had 2 women with me in the car(my wife and her colleague.

I quickly told my wife that no matter what happens she must be calm and act like she was un interested in what was happening.
As expected they came over to my window..the eediat had the nerve to say 'wind down jor, oga I say wind down' I was so infuriated..they immediately grabbed my side mirror and said the will yank it off(gosh my head was boiling with rage) in disgust I looked 1 of them straight in the eye and told him to go ahead and yank it off ..I repeatedly to them to yank the bleeding mirror off(what the hell )

maybe it was.

1)The rage in my eyes
2) The fact that both my wife and her colleague where calmly chatting away as if nothing was happening

The eventually walked away frm my car and went to the car behind me the driver quickly parted with some money too.. The funny thing was they appeared to be in grps as the cars who gave out money where later accosted by other grps equally demanding money...heaven knws how many times the elantra infront of me parted with his money..@ the end of the day His mirror was left dangling by another set of Area boiz..

No other set came to my car it was obvious they had informed the others about the cars that they were successful with.

I now knw why my wife refuses to drive to work..a colleague of hers had all her windows smashed and was robbed on the same bridge..and countless no of peeps have recounted their own sad experience..

Will the Nigeria police force claim they are unaware of this trend? Jus 1 hilux load of cops is enof deterrent to this opportunistic criminals.

Or are we really that hopeless?.....

My Brother, I sorry 4 9ja...Sorry 4 ma pple. Our leaders re just there tryin there best.God help 'em.
