So I was out this evening to buy something at Area 2 shopping complex in Abuja. As I entered my car and about to turn and go home, a young lady driving a big SUV car stopped by my side lower her window and she greeted me, when I answered she asked whether I can help her out, so I was like ok go on, thinking maybe she's lost and asking for directions, but to my utmost surprise she asked me to please give her some cash to buy fuel because she's running out of fuel and she has no money to buy fuel and she needs to go to Apo.

I just shook my head and told her sorry and I zoomed off. I don't know if any of you ever had this experience here in Abuja too?

If I am the one I will just tell her to follow me to a filling station, then buy for her as little as I can afford. She might genuinely need help and stranded. Makes me the song, Another day in Paradise" by Phil Collins.

Great song! I used to own a Phil Collins Gold Collections. I lost it while renovations was ongoing in my homeland. 🥲

The car may not be hers and was really out of fuel, if you had the means you could have just helped, no amount is too small when rendering a helping hand. Times are hard, a closed mouth will only die silently

So why re u telling us here,wen u couldn't help

You did a good job


Women nowadays are not to be trusted


But you could've told her to park her car someplace and you'd give her a ride to wherever she's going

I wud have helped her if I had the cash even if it was a male. U never know tommorrow. A guy was stranded yesterday ...his car overheated and his battery ran low ....he had a Jumper and was begging commuters for assistance to connect his jumper to thier battery so he cud power his car....nobody stopped....he waved at me for help stretching out his jumper ....I stopped n assisted. It was a success ...nobody died! Learn to lend a helping hand folks

Look for it on YouTube.

I understand the OP's predicament, these days it's difficult to render help even when you want to cos you don't know when someone is trying to scam you

And you call it a weird encounter? When you refused helping someone in need of help.


We are gradually turning to animals in this country...

because na woman,you go just open your mouth waaah 🤓.... If to say na man you for say the man do the right thing to zoom off.

She has no fuel buh she drove to Area 2 shopping mall, am sure she put on A.C and she now get fuel, still lower the glass dey ask for money?. I won't trust such person though, make e no be say them wan trail person. Next time you go to that shopping mall, watch out if you will see her again. The things happening in Abuja nowadays one need to be careful.

Someone driving a big jeep I am sure the latest model has no one on her that can genuinely help her instead na erby she turn to. In a 'Shopping Mall'. Think am Oga, Open yah head.

This's old format, if you're living around, ikoyi, lekki or vi, you'd have experienced this.

God bless you richly

Sometime in Ikeja shopping mall, a well dressed man seen pushing trolley approached me that he needed some money. I was dazed and scared seeing a well dressed man with nice shoes and wristwatch asking me for money inside the mall. I myself didn't even use a trolley. I only looked and moved away but couldn't stop thinking about it with missed feelings.

We all need help sometimes. Not everyone is a scam. Most times I help for my conscience sake and not because of the person. U could have assisted with a few litres if u could. Don't pray to be stranded. I wonder what's weird about the encounter

No mind am....Na their way....begging for money is like a norm to them so much that if u no give them, it's like u don commit crime against them......
And them no dey beg their fellow woman....

shry u know say nah madness u dey mad so. If fellow man ask your type for help una no go look him face😂

So of all her many male s ,na stranger she came asking for fuel.. By the time she ask 10 mumu guys like that,tank don full. She go carry keg That was how they were doing urgent 2k those days,before guys realized the scam. They will give 100+ guys number.. Guy must chat her up.. She will now put them all on hold.. Start billing them urgent 2k.. Now 100x 2000 = E minimum wage.. And some heavy mugu go send 2k sef.. So I will not blame op for anything.. Most ladies thinks all niggas worship ass and breast* (most girls thinks all guys are fools,but in reality, we are not)

And what if she lost her phone or forgot it while coming out.

I am not a womaniser so I can't help just because it is a woman. But I will feel bad if I am in same situation and don't get help because I am a man.

Everything no be scam for this life and even if na scam render the little u can afford to lose just like sportybet

City life is all about packaging

Certainly we’ve all got various views on things like this as humans.

THE FACT IS;

Human understanding is centered on life experiences & knowledge gained by association.
