18th of May, l witnessed a robbery

So 18th May was Avura's birthday and while l was wiping off the dirt on her table caused by the flowers we used to decorate her table l heard someone screaming.

Now my first suspension was a movie scene  made Helen and Stella scream but then the scream came again and again. And l was like is stella beating Helen ( I had to clear my suspicions so like someone who has a power of an ant but as brave as an xxx) l stormed out of the room to know why the scream.


But to my disbelief it wasn't Helen and stella,  the scream wasn't even coming from the room in which Helen and stella were apparently Helen wasn't getting beaten up. The noise came from the shops outside the building. 

And as l approached the window from where l could see the cause for the screaming the scream be became clear. It was a cry for help. A woman was being robbered- they we're with a gun,  that l could see that it was fake. I watched them run back took her Pos machine and her phone, chased a guy who came to help her with a gun and made away.


I wanted to make a video of the scene but l have to be careful what if they see me and come back for me and the people close to me. I made the video when they are about leaving. Just short


When they were gone, l saw people running out from their hiding to comfort her while  some went after the thieves. when she found out her POS machine was gone she cried, she rolled on the floor no one could comfort her.

.

About 30-45 minutes we heard a news "the thieves have been caught". Eye witness said the thieves had so many purse on them which she suspected belonged to other people they stole from. One of the thieves is a familiar face been in and out of jail.


I've been robbed before but have never witnessed a robbery before. So here comes the big question, "Have you been robbed or have you witnessed a robbery?

What Happens When we Attach Pain

  We know people that are currently in a toxic relationship, you’ve heard them talk about leaving the relationship but they never leave. Maybe they are in for financial benefits? Or perhaps it’s just love? And what about those people that hate their jobs but won’t quit? Why complain when they know what to do? If we give ourselves enough reason to hate someone we deeply love, we will wake up one morning and we are filled with hatred towards that person likewise if we want to fall in love with someone. What changed? “Enough reason to back up their decision” They haven’t convinced themselves with good enough painful reasons as to why they should leave. They only think of the pain they will derive after they leave. If the pain of leaving is greater than that of staying, they will stay. We weigh options and go for the less painful one. Remember when you thought you would die when your ex broke up with you? Look at you now doing just fine. You’ve convinced your heart with bitter feeling...

The Dangers of Making Assumptions

Thoughts can be deceiving!!!!!! One thing I've learned from experience is to never ASSUME. To assume someone knows what to do/say To assume someone knows exactly what I’m thinking or how I’m feeling. To assume what I think about someone or something is correct. To assume people will treat me how I want to be treated without demanding it. Assumptions are not Communication and can be misleading. An assumption is a vague vision of what's on the other person's mind. Assumptions are not facts, never start a fight, relationship, or business based on assumption. By communicating we understand each other. Most relationship end due to lack of communication- they assume their partner should know what’s on their mind even before they say the word and if their partner can’t do that it becomes “he/her doesn’t know me well” Like you, everyone is sorting out a lot of things. They aren’t saying a lot because they don’t want to be an additional burden to you. If you’re mad people aren’t se...

A Poetic Formal Letter to MEMAC Ogilvy

Listening to Rory Sutherland (vice-chairman of the Ogilvy) sparked an infinite interest in marketing in a young writer/social media marketer who’s fantasizing about both of us getting married and building a home together. I am thrilled to say I want to be a part of you (an unpaid internship) position at MEMAC Ogilvy Dubai , United Arab Emirates.  I am passionate about the new meaning of marketing, making marketing Psychological rather than logical. I would love to channel my skills as a writer and Marketing Intern. I'm not going to presume that you don't give a damn about the other ladies I've been with. So, while in Nigeria, I was in a relationship with a Tech company ( JD Lab ) as a writer and social media marketer. I don't typically do this, however, I became intimate with another lady (TEDxMinna) as a writer and social media Team Leader. I swear it wasn't long. I was in charge of managing the social media profiles and producing material for them. These women an...
