Good evening pals, just got back from work and i want to share my story with you. I also need your contribution and experiences.

I work at Festac but i live at Apapa. I boarded a Mile 2 bus at Festac. When I got to mile2 bustop by 7:30pm, I boarded a danfo bus (LT35) to Apapa. The bus has five rows and i was at the middle. As we left mile2, there was traffic immediately after the bridge.

While pressing my phone, the girl at the extreme back near the window who was pressing her phone shouted "JESUS!!!!" We all looked back thinking that the truck behind us was about to hit us.

However,what we saw was a young guy in all black attire and a face cap trying to pick up something from the floor outside.

Suddenly, the conductor started shouting "Ole! Ole!! Ole!!!" (thief thief thief)

Before the conductor could even get down from the bus, the guy took to his heels. He ran into the other side of the road and we didnt see him again.....That was when we realized that he had stolen the Samsung S5 belonging to the girl sitting near the window..

And that was it, the phone was gone just like that. I was in shock till i got home.

Share your own Mile 2 experience.

lol... E be like say the Girl just enter lagos. If you must press your phone, close the window or better still leave your phone in your bag until you reach house.

And your topic made it seem like you were robbed...

This is really an eye opener. I have been warned several times about the dangers of fiddling with one's phone in traffic when sitting close to the window, but somehow I never listen.

sorry

That awkward moment when you have been planning to take her number


PELE

Lagos rule #1 hide your expensive gizmos from public view, it doesn't even matter if u are in a danfo or your own limo. My sister's phone was stolen from the passenger side of her husband's car in mile 2 right after the flyover. Nobody needs to know u have the latest shiny gadget, that S5 is equivalent to someone's 4 months salary, be wise.

This is very common in Lagos.. Ojuelegba, Oshodi, Osborne road ikoyi, Maryland.. they work as a team even with Police presence

And you call this your encounter? Listen let me share briefly, an experience with aro baggers in RSUST ( rivers state university of science and technology)

On a cool evening after lectures, I followed the back gate with my friends and we were going towards azikiwe. Just before the gate, we saw a nigga sitting in the field and we all knew he is a nigga because odin is working in him.

Nigga: aboy ! Aboy!! Aboy!!!

We all kept silent as if we didn't hear

Nigga: wey you! Aboy!!!

We then decided to stop to avoid problem.

Nigga: three of una make una come, infact make only that middle guy come ( that's me)

I was a fresher and the other guys were in year 3 so I think he had a target.

Nigga: na you abi, so na you!!

I was shivering and wondering what he meant.

Me: senior boy wetin I do now, I just follow my friends dey come back from lecture.

Nigga: shut up! I dey talk you dey talk, you want make I start to dey cut you? So na you! You follow for one of those guys wey fall our man for mile 2, no worry, you go join am today.

I was shivering very bad and my heart was pounding heavily to the extent I was stammering.

Me: senior boy no be me oo, I just come new for this place. Abeg no be me.

Nigga: you say wetin? Your own don be! No worry, you go see, shey na you be their chief strike! Na me personally go comot your eye. Na you ! You think say I no go recognise you ?

I almost pee on my clothes, then he dragged me down to where some other niggas were sitting, by this time my friends have took to their heels.

Nigga: Aro, see the manchin here! ( Talking to the other guys)

Aro: aboy wida, who goes!

I was quite, I just felt like the ground should open and swallow me. Then he comes close to me.

Aro: wetin you hold there?

Me: na just my phone and wallet

He comes closer and collects them after searching me thoroughly.

Aro: start from here dey run dey go, make you no look back. If you mumu, we go just waste you here. *slaps my head* oya dey run.

Me: I took to my heels and ran as fast as my legs could carry me.


Even as I'm typing this thing, I'm still shivering. No be small thing that day

Lagos na wa. May God help us

Hmmm dAts lag 4 You. Sowi to babe

Who carry dis kind rubbish story come Frontpage? So if I write a story titled "how I take shit for toilet few minutes ago" e go still make frontpage too ni..... Mtchew..

Whenever u sit close the window in a vehicle,,,clutch your valuables like bruce lee 'fist of fury' so that no werey can snatch it,,,,

Lagos taught me the principle of holding, hiding, keeping safe guarding my bag like heaven depends on it

well, i salute the strange languages you guys use in booking space, what is "gbe" for christ sake.
