Eye-tech Image: BLACK THURSDAY

THE DAY I WAS ROBBED

Odarooo!!!, was the last chat with a wonderful dearest sister and friend from another mother “Temitope Oladapo” just after I sent her the picture we both snapped together at Oguta, Imo State during our NYSC year, though I heard to seek permission from her, for me to sleep, thank God my request was granted, and that was around 11.30PM-12midnight, of which I told her that she should remember to observe her quiet time prayer (personal prayer).

Who says God doesn’t answer prayer, I need no one to tell me YES or NO, personally God does answer prayer, immediately, I ended my chat with her, I also observed my quiet time prayer and slept off, I guess, I was already in another realm of the world.

The moment I never expected happened to me, a moment I will never forget in my lifetime, they came in with full force demanding “where is the money”? before I could realize what was going on I was booted on the jaw, looking helpless in the midst of four thieves all surrounded me with gun and cutlass, what more could I have done than to remain silence, during the thieves conversation with me my parent came out from their room, they were both shock as well, ironically, one of the thieves asked where is father? After seeing that me and my father looks alike in seize, my father said “I’m is father, please don’t harm him, money I don’t have have? If it is book, its very much, you can pack as much as possible. Immediately, they sighted where my gadgets was they started packing them all my phones, laptop, tablets including my wristwatch and also empty my wallet, oh! What a black Thursday, on checking the time they raided our room, it was between the hours of 2.30AM.

So sad, they murder my sleep, but thank God they didn’t silence our life, however waiting for the cock to crow, all the tenant gathered, only to discovered that five out of six tenant were robbed between the hours of 2AM-2.30AM, hmm 30minutes of robbery, there is God ooooo!!!

Shortly after the robbery, I began to reasoning it what if they have shot any of the tenant? Because the last tenant that was robbed, his wife actually added another year to her age that same day of the robbery incident, while my father also celebrated his birthday that same week 16^th of May, oh God, we cant just appreciate you enough for saving us from the snare of Fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
