The day my bag was snatched started out as a normal day. I woke up brushed took my, bath (cant rem if I prayed) and went to work. It was a Friday about 2 years ago I was doing my compulsory national service (corper ).
Any way there was a concert in family worship center church. This dude Chris delvan was performing. I love music I had to be there. I also loved Chris. As a corper we were paid in cash.15k.good money coz I got 8500 from the fed govt. so I entered the office briefly and was given my 15k.i entered ninth heaven. I spent the money in my mind.
Head office is about 60km from Abuja main town. All thru the journey I was in the market buyin Ankara fabrics, cosmetics etc. fast forward to were I dropped from the bus, 4 the Abuja readers I dropped at Sheraton junction u know that grand square wuse mrk junction. It was bout 7.00pm. There were bout two dudes at the bus stop. Feelin smart I stood in front of them practically on the main road and flagged the first cab I saw.
I was using the hand bag my mum gave me black with red straps. It was more of a clutch but I had the straps on my shoulder. I bent my head to negotiate wit the driver before he even got to me. I was that desperate to leave the two unserious lookin men who were not in a hurry to get a cab. Before I could say Jack Robinson I felt someone pushin me. I thot the man wanted my cab. Alas he was after my bag. I held unto the bag as if my life depended on it- well all my cash was in it and so was my phone. I pulled he pulled, I screamed he pulled harder. I put up good fight but the straps of the bag gave way. Well the cab man took a sobbing me to my destination. Were I hooked up wit my colleagues and called home.
My mum promised me 10k on Monday. And said she will send money 4 a fone- she has a policy of fones shld not be more than 10k, I have a policy of fones shld be 30k and above. On Monday a puffy eyed me entered the office. And a colleague S gave me 1,000 naira. I accepted tearfully. Not up to 10 min later anor gave me 5k. Hmm I wiped my tears. A friend called and gave me 30k for a nu phone. That was by 1030.The puffiness in my eyes had gone. My elder sister called from Canada she just western unioned me 100 dollars. Seriously I was the picture of happiness. Anor friend called that wat do I want him to bring for me-ha he gave me 2k on top of that.
God is good and to think I lost just bout 18k.
Yiha wed is a public holiday.yiha.

Am green with envy right now...call me the green-eyed monster if you will but that will never happen in london. Yes someone will snatch your bag and make away with whatever you have left to live on but no...NO ONE will give you a penny in sympathy. That's one of the things I miss about Nija.

it turned out good in the end, thieves sef, which mind are they going to use to enjoy that money.
count yourself lucky. my friends would give me a hug, say sori, wish me well and be on their way, my mom and sister would start berating me on how careless i really am, how i never grow up, and my sis would not even lend me one of her 3 fancy phones... if i lost my bag. so i guard it with my life...
