When I got into the back of the keke, there was one other enger, driver said he needed change so i paid him the normal fare, he said that he wanted more, so i asked him to return my money and drop me, he kept trying to make me add money on top the normal fare which i disagreed.

In the process of trying to return my money he dropped 100 naira out of the keke which was still moving at this point. He gave me the rest of my money and asked me to go and pick the one that fell outside,. So I got out and started looking for this money on the side of the road (he had already zoomed off).

It was after like five minutes of searching and not finding the money that i noticed that my phone was no longer in my pocket.

Welcome to lag 😁😁

The reason why they did that to you was bcus they knew you were not concentrating... Maybe you had your earpieces or ear pod on and you were probably glued to your phone

Op, sorry about that. But, l don’t know what some people gain in causing pain to others. The pain of someone losing his phone 2ru theft no be here. Not to talk of when you don’t have money to buy another one soon. Now, they will go and sell the phone cheap price.

The last time someone left his phone (Iphone12promax) in my Keke, the guy called and started pleading with me to return his phone. I told him not to worry I would return his fone to him. To cut long story short, we arranged a plc and I returned his phone.

I didn’t even wait for him to thank me I moved immediately. He actually came to our park the following day. On seeing me, he asked “what kind of human being are u”? We just chatted small I load my engers. When I was about to move, he squeezed some cash in my hand on getting home, I counted it. Omo... Na 20k. shocked

Always hold your phone while entering Keke or Bus it is called handset for a reason.

Don't get distracted with things of this kind

Dem run you street...too bad...sorry bro

That's why i love my jean tros, with all my stuff in my front pocket, sitting tightly between my laps and jeans, and when I feel the weight pressing against my body after every step, let me see how you will remove something out of it without me knowing.

With normal pant tros with side pockets, even if you are not pickpocket(ed), easily, stuffs can slip out anytime, especially when you are about sitting or standing up from a sitting position.

I only pity white-job workers, and those without choice but to wear these pants in congested cities.

Our citizens are always crafting new cons and robbery methods, yet wonder why the country isn’t progressing. Our politicians are the same as us. You wake up each day and think up new scams. They do the same when it comes to looting money.

If the phone was in the pivot on the other side, would it have been stolen? Just trying to understand how this happened.

To those asking him why he wasn't holding unto his phone, is he supposed to at all times?

I one day, I was sitting at the back sit of Marua the man sitting beside me put big bag on his lap, I noticed that something was torching my lap and it can't be the big bag the man put on his lap I quickly carried the hand bag I put on my lap only to discover that the man put his hand behind the bag he put on his lap and trying to steal from the hand bag I put on my lap and the man is up to 60 years of age.

This morning, as I was on the bed thinking about my life no money to go to work, I struggle to come back home yesterday, I just saw somebody raising his head from the fence behind our building, he wanted to jump from the compound to our side immediately I shouted theif, he ran away this country has turned to something else.
