Desperate youth everywhere you go!

Don't ever put your phone in your pocket let it be in your hand or get a cross bag

You are been duped right under your naked eyes.

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.

This must have happened at IKORODU

They run u street. Tinubu policies is causing too much hunger in the land.

GboyegaD:
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?

Yes. My phone is always in my hands whenever I'm in a public place.

GboyegaD:

I find that stressful though.

Holding my handset is second nature to me in public.

Oovi5:
You left your phone inside the keke to pick 100 outside or how?

Story makes no sense. What has dropping N100 have to do with it?
Mods didn't notice the story makes no sense

You use a whole 5minutes dey search for something, your mumu nor too much?





I wonder how some of you forget yourselves to the extent of loose guarding your properties to thieves.

One chance

My own is how on earth can they throw money outside the moving keke and ask him to go and pick??

Is the keke man insane?? It's NEVER done anywhere!!

How you self agree for that kin thing?? Are you a baby?

Dem no born Keke rider to ask me to help am pick money.

Rexymania:
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

assuming he was glued to his phone, this wouldn't have happened...

Some people have a bag-set.
Other people have a pocket-set.

All I have is a hand-set.

Na this part me wan understand. Is that as he was trying to give you the money, it fell outside or he deliberately threw out the money and asked you to go and pick it up? Cus honestly this story gets as e be 🤨🤔

I don’t know what people gain in causing pain to others. 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.

Good things will come your way bro!!! God bless your Good heart!

kentokay71:

nope. happened in ota, ogun state

Hassanmaye:

Did it happen in lagos?

ogun state

People please let's all be really careful....as I'm reading this,a pal is texting me about how he boarded a one-chance vehicle and got pushed out while in motion,!!!!
Please be careful and watchful out there..these bastards are on the prowl.

Hezzyluv:
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.

Make no mistake: despite the material desperation in our modern society - we still have good people!

my thoughts actually, money wey you give am for hand, him drop for ground say make you go pick am and you gree?? You nor tear ram slap?

Always hold your phone in your hand.

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

i am usually always at alert, what happened to me was as a result of complacency, the keke ride is a routine that happens almost every day in the morning and evening.

This happened everywhere not only in Lagos. It happened to me at the beginning of this month in Ota, OGUN state. I took a NAPEP from Oju Ore going towards the Bells. On getting to Obasanjo the driver told me to come down that he doesn’t have change. I told him he shouldn’t worry that I’ll look for change for him when I get to my bus/stop. Meanwhile; I was having two phones. My iPhone 7 Plus and small Nokia phone. So my small phone rang & I was on call before I know what’s up. My iPhone has been moved & I was told to come down that I shouldn’t bother to pay. I was like. I couldn’t concentrate cos I was still on call before after some minutes I discovered my iPhone is gone. After one week I tracked it & I found the at Mushin. So sad.

There's nothing like "how they operate" nah you loose guard. Me ke?

Inside church self, I dey guard myself consciously. I emphasize, CONSCIOUSLY. Unless my phone fell down from my pocket or you overpower me or sedate me, no phycological tactics will work.

Get yourself a phone pouch with a ring on it..so you can always have your phone glued to your hand and keep guard.

shine your eye next time ....

wait i hope know be inside Ajegunle

As soon as I got down from the keke, na blow I use follow him leg wey him wan use sit down on top my phone... I just tell am say I am in a good mood if not, I for raise alarm guys go bring tire and fuel sharp sharp.... Nonsense!!!!!

I usually hold my phone in my hand and frown my face. Also, I no dey look face.


Nobody can read you if u don't look peoples face.

Hold your phone in your hand in Mararaba for Abuja-Nasarawa make we check something. You go collect better blow for hand and person go run with the phone. You can't be too smart. Pray for good days freee from bad guys
