Welcome to Social media age


Isn't it shocking how people record terrible  incidents that could have been averted  from beginning?
A lady shared her experience with a conductor on her way to work one morning, trust Lagos public transport conductors; an argument ensued between her and the conductor,  then he (conductor) became abusive and was threatening to beat her up although he was clearly at fault. According to her, what suprised her more was the way the whole passengers kept a straight face and nobody tried to caution him, then it occurred to her that these same people would be the first to bring out their phones to cover the scenario if the conductor carried out his threat. So she kept quiet and got down at the next bus stop before reaching her destination.
Now that was wisdom in action, the sooner you realise that people are more interested in covering the scenario than saving you the better; when next you think of starting an argument or a fight with someone in public be ready to go viral on internet. Welcome to the social media age.

My Experience with the Nigerian police

One fateful day i was on my way to pick up my clearance letter from my PPA, when i got down at the bustop there was a police check point and some officers were there carrying out their duty, as i passed one of them called out "corper " and I replied well done sir and waved at them.... When i finished from my PPA about an hour later, i had walked quite a  distance when the weather changed suddenly, heavy breeze  started blowing as i looked around there was no shade anywhere in sight so i started running towards the bustop "God help me " i prayed silently;  i felt the first heavy drop of rain on my head, and other drops followed, with the heavy rain drops i was getting wet pretty fast i was closer to the bus stop now and the police officers were rushing to their patrol van when one of them saw me and said "corper enter" i did not have much of a choice so i entered. I was sitting inside jeje trying to catch my breathe when two other officers came in one ...

Liz... it nearly a month since i told Femi about the pregnancy, he has not called or even texted me since then and every attempt to reach him has proved abortive.  I am sure he's still trying to wrap his head around it he will call you very soon. Liz tried to reassure her, ...  please stop punishing yourself. Liz, i just want to die. I reject it for you. Do you know whatyou are saying at all I know o... Liz i know what am sa...ying.
