A saying goes does in my native language “ki a ma ri ogun akoba adaba” i.e ” May u not see the incident that you know nothing about that will cause problem for you”.
It happens on saturday morning after sanitation, i prepared to go to school for my Post-graduate program. I received a call from one of my mate that there’s traffic along ikorodu road, so she decided i should meet her at Ikosi juction (Motorway B/stop via 7up). I called my friend to informed her that am waiting because I got there earlier and i waited. suddenly, a man in his mid 40s came to my back, tapped me and mention Jide, i was amazed, the 1st thought in my mind was whether he was sent from the person am waiting for and mistake the name, and i was about to asked him when he came to my front and grip my Shirt.
He said i should give him the phone, i was dazed as in which phone was he asking for. i stepped back but he persisted in saying it and crowd begins to gather around me. He said i was with the phone, i was embarrased and i brought out my phones and i told him to call his phone number, in which he said he did but was switched off. People now asked him to call the number, in which he did not. I offload all the content in my bag on the ground, show the people my office ID and my business card. Yet the man continues his false allegation. Then i decided to pull off my Jeans trouser (pant) remaining on my boxer…..uhhh!!!(funny), all to prove my innocence. Then people around have to restrain me and turn allegation on the man. All i could alter to the man throughout was that “God will judge him…..…”in which he said “Amen” to as he continues his false allegation. After he found out that he was wrong, he quickly cross to the other side and walked away. Then my friend came to the scene and pick me up, and i left with the people apologizing to me.
Why do i share this? you may ask. I can’t hide the grace and mercy of God over me during that period. I could have been maim or killed for false allegation. I thank God once again. Though it cause tears in my eyes, but i know its the tear of joy.
Watch out for people at the park/Bus-stop moving closer to you and be on the alert.
