Sorry for your loss. But I think nobody goes to event centers without being vigilant! |

@op, it's real sad. I lost my iphone to a pickpocket at my bro's wedding in Lagos less than a year ago too. It can be very disheartening. Good to see you've moved on though. 1 Like |

LOOOOL at your story. Like are you for real? When you attend owambe parties in Lagos, you would see uninvited guest lurking around especially young ones who are probably there to eat and or steal. Never keep huge sum of money in your pocket or wear flowing agbada if you are male. You are obviously not a Lag babe. Talking bout carrying ipad 3 all around? If the "real owners"/Tinubu boys requested for "their ipad", you won't give them? 3 Likes |

Its ok to be vigilant but some nigerians go to the extent of blaming the innocent.. Here's my story... This happened at Garison in Port harcourt. An elderly man(in his 50's) accused me of being a pickpocket in front of a massive crowd .It happened around 6pm at Garison busstop..(PH) They were so many people waiting to board either a taxi or a bus heading towards rumola.. So once a car stops, people tend to drag or push each other just to enter any commercial vehicle.. I waited for a car close to 30 minutes and decided to do the dragging game. A car came and I was trying to struggle close to d back door, then I mistakenly touched one elderly man(who was also struggling to enter) by his back(close to his pocket area and not inside his pocket).. It was a mistake cos we were all pushing and dragging with our hands.. The guy shouted that I was a theif.. That he will slap me(see me, see wahala).. Everybody (close to a 100) focused on the scene.. I shouted back and explained to him.. The guy told me to shut up.. I dragged and explained even to others.. But the crowd seemed to believe the man(I even heard a lady saying na so dem go dey dress well dey thief). Can u imagine the embarrassment.. One of the agberos wanted to bring out tyre.. But another agbero stopped him and told me to leave the man.. He probably saved me. Cos I think I would have been brutally injured or killed if it were to be some other places in nigeria(don't want to mention names).. The man was still shouting and I shouted back while explaining.. He later boarded a vehicle and I left the scene. Majority of d crowd started avoiding me after my explanation.. How can I be a pickpocket when I'm a graduate. Its so sad.. I JUST DONT KNOW WHY MOST NIGERIANS ARE NAÏVE AND SO QUICK TO BELIEVE. So please, if u are stocked in a bus stop , be careful how u place ur hand when dragging with people just to enter a bus or taxi cos someone might wrongly accuse you.. THAT'S THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN MY LIFE.. 5 Likes |

Do you have find my ipad? Go here icloud.com and put in your log in details, click on find my ipad and it should find your ipad if it is online -connected to the internet. Try that, it also shows the last known location of your ipad. Maybe that can help you give you a lead.

obowunmi: Are you talking about Banana Island or Lagos Island Cos if it's the Lagos Island I know, your cocoon of safety is questionable. Unfortunately, someone questioned leaving such stuff unattended to, it's not really a straightforward case of losing compassion but 'Dis is Lagos', Eko o gba gbere! |

The annoying part is if the thief was caught, s/he would have said it was the devil meanwhile, s/he is the major problem. Lesson learnt though cos I can be very careless. 1 Like |

This post is very very annoying, how can somebody in her right senses in this age and time in lagos leave personal belongings carelessly and when it is picked you come to NL to complain. Are you a learner? Everybody knows that the city is just a hustlers town where anything can happen. So in my mind i know any well brought real Lagosian can never fall 'mugu' like that. It clearly shows that this is one of them careless girls in this town. Abeg jo. Thank your stars that's all that was taken. 2 Likes |

One needs to be careful at events these days. I was at AY live last easter Sunday. The show had ended, I put my phone in my pocket and walked out of the hall. I put my hand back in my pocket to pick my phone but did not feel anything. It dawned on me that my pocket has been picked, in the space of 60 seconds. I smiled and said to myself, them don outsmart me for Lagos. 5 Likes |

Are you a learner? so you are the well brought real Lagosian who has been battered, trampled upon, broken and exploited by the hardship of the city such that your conscience's death and you live ur everyday life in vengence? or you are the well brought lagosian who lives in constant fear of the unknown, chopping and cleaning mouth as well as suffering and smiling? or the well brought real lagosian who has been robbed of your basic human rights and have willfully accepted it as a way of life?... sorry to burst your bubble i was not brought up in that manner and i refuse to adopt such as a norm unfortunately for all you holier than thou people when you eventually fall, you come crashing so hard scattering like pack of cards and would be too shame faced to share your predicament but would rather dwell in your self afflicted misery.
