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?

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...

My Opinion on Public Wedding Proposals

 Some people got engaged before, during, and after valentine's Day. Some people proposed publicly and others in their houses. We get all emotional when we watch videos where she said yes l will marry you regardless of the location (lekki mall, Container Bistro, Michael Garden, etc)   I know you've watched that video where a girl was overexcited and she started screaming and couldn't control her joy. (It's funny to some people, it's spiritual to some but nobody insulted the guy for proposing in public). But when we watch a video where the reply is "embarrassing" especially if the proposal is public we blame the men, insult them, and ask questions like What happen to proposing at home? You should know what your girl likes, does she like it public or hidden? Etc No one asked these questions when the reply was positive WHY??? This is my opinion: women are to be blamed for being in a relationship with someone they can't get married to. Even if a girl wants ...

The Date ll

  Both, I don’t need the cold room approach either do I need a man that can’t surprise me I winked.  (He smiled), that’s cool continue my lady.   (I continued) He has to treat me like a queen  Make me coffee every morning and night Be faithful - never cheat or lie to m... (His laugher interrupted)) Him: You mean God or a broke guy right? ( he continued laughing), I stared at him like an African mom ready to spank her child, but he didn’t understand the look else he would have never said what he said next.  I'm sorry to hurt you, but you should be old enough to know no guy is faithful to one lady. And never lie to you, that’s God stuff, make you coffee twice every day that's a jobless man’s job. I'm a guy, l know best and l speak for all men. It's our nature to cheat. And one more thing (l cut in), l hate when I'm interrupted by men who talks without control. Yeah, I hate women that talk a lot too…  At this point, I knew I'm never gonna do this again like he...
