I ordered a ride.
Driver pulls up and tells me to sit in front with him. Says he can't carry a woman at the back.
I said, "Then he shouldn't be a driver because as long as I'm paying, l choose where I sit and on this ride, back is where I belong."
He said I should cancel.
I said no, you should.
Oga off engine. Said he'll wait till I cancel. No wahala. I brought out my second phone & ordered another ride with another app.
7 minutes later, new car pulls up in front of us. I catwalk to the car, enter like a diva & shut the door slowly to pepper him.
Few seconds after we moved, I checked my app. The clown had cancelled the trip.
You for wait na. Who blink first? Múmú.
He sent me a message and said my character is why no man will marry me
I reply and say if it's your type of man that is left, l'd rather d!£ single. Then I rep0rted and blocked him.
Feeling very upset I instruct the new driver to turn on his AC.
He said, "For this rainy season?"
I said, "I don't care. I want Ac.'"
He asked me if I have AC in my house?
I looked at his finger, saw his cheap wedding ring and said, "Some of us don't wait for dry season to enjoy basic things. Not everybody is married to poverty like your wife."
He got angry, match brake, off engine & asked me to cm down from his car.
I come down like a queen and say,
"So, if they ask people with car to come out, you too will come out?" Then I laugh Patience Ozokwor laugh
That's when he snapped.
"Madam I go sl@p you! I go be@t you for here now now & nothing go happen, asewo!"
He started advancing towards me in a thre@tening manner in broad daylight.
In front of people. I knew then he would sl@p me and maybe do more.
I scream, "Help o, ole ole, kidn@pper, ritu@list, help me o!"
Next thing crowd have gathered.
Before he'll run and enter his car, boys have started sl@pping and be@ting him black and blue from every corner.
He's screaming & pleading with me to help him but the crowd has gotten very aggr£ss!ve. Apparently, there have been multiple cases of kidn@ppings & r0bb£ries lately in that area.
I froze.
I wanted to tell them the truth that he's not a kidn@pper or ritu@list but how do you admit you lied, when a m0b is already in k!11 mode?
I was too scared to tell them I lied for fear of being lynched myself
So, I ran! I ran like a thi£f and didn't look back till I got home.
Two days later, I see a trending video online— A driver, búrñt to de@th. Car torched,
Several blogs reads: "N0t0rious Kidn@pper Finally Nabbed & unal!v£d by angry m0b in Lagos."
I zoomed in.
It was him. the diver
I screamed!
It's been six months now.
I see him every night in my dreams— screaming, búrñing, b££ding, calling my name.
What should I do?
Should I confess to his family?
Should I go to the police?
I'm confused.
I didn't mean for it to go that far.
But this is Nigeria, going to the police is like signing my own de@th warrant.
So, I did what everyone including you reading this would do. I stayed quiet.
Please sir, wherever you are, I'm sorry, please forgive me even though you caused it.
