17th December 2016 - THE FULL STORY

Based on true events....Names of people may be changed or not mentioned for privacy reasons.

First off, before I start, I want to say I owe nobody any explanation as to why I twisted the story. Except God (but obviously he knows everything we do, whether in secret or in the open) & then my Parents. My Pastor too😀.
Also Some of my friends know this already. Other than these, I said all I said to protect myself and family from further harm. Don't Judge.

With all these said, here is the full story...

16th December 2016...at about 8:00am

I had woken up, had my bath and decided not to leave the house. I don't know why, I just decided that. It caused quite a scene cos my mom was against it. "But wait first what was I going out to the shop to do..? Abeg... I'll just chill at home" I did not have strength or money to go out.

(I should listen to myself more often, and stick to my words.)

(But then food got the better part of me...lol.) Lunch had been taken out, and Mom called again sounding worried that I had not eaten. (You can add my weakness for my mom's calls too). Also NEPA had taken their light...as usual. My battery was down. Yeah the tab I was using then, given to me by my best buddy. I needed to charge also...so many factors, but still I should have listened to myself. But then....'IF's' are just 'IF's'...and sometimes 'IF only's''.

(Sorry I really had to start from the beginning, didn't just want to go straight to the point)

So I dressed up, got ready my small bag and left the house. Short journey, I was at the shop. My sister was there... as usual. Nagging about how we had left her all alone....smh....or not. I can't remember all the events of that day. I think she left to my aunt's house later on.

I had lunch.

Was about 4pm. Pops and Mom's came back. They had to go home, and Someone had to stay in the shop. Brother wasn't back from his usual walka.
So I stayed put. Waiting for him. At the same time trying to make good use of my time.

I called babe. She came, but she was with friends. Bad timing....Smh...

I was now inpatient. Was almost 7 and Bro wasn't back. I needed to get home early. I called his phone severally, each with the same response of "I'm on my way" or "not reachable"......

**This story is getting too long**

Finally he came, was high. I was pissed. But na to see babe dey worry me.
I decided to drive. I didn't want story.

We decided we'd branch and "just see" babe before going home.

But other things came up. Bros had another babe he wanted to see.

He asked me to continue and come back for him....okay. I did.

(Prior to this I had called babe to know if she was around, answer was affirmative. Then she specifically asked if I was driving...I said no. When I called again, she asked the Same question and my answer was yes.....I know exactly what you're thinking)

I got to her residence and I called. Babe said I should wait a little for her... whether she was thinking I wanted to take her out or what. Me just wan see you, gist small...(other bad things dey my head sha).

I waited a little....and called again. She said she just wanted to finish eating. Ya know....all these dumb reasons.. I sha waited. Kept myself busy in the tab chatting with Chee. Playing candy crush.

My instincts were telling me other things, but as usual I chose to ignore them.

I was still on my phone when I noticed two strange bodies moving on either side of the car. My side mirror confirmed two  humans. I was very alert at this moment. I sensed danger and started the car already...prepared to zoom off, just in case. But my senses didn't remember the doors were unlocked...smh... that's where my problem heightened.

The two front doors flung open. The one on the passenger side had a gun, was wearing a blue shirt. The other was at my side, wearing a red shirt and unarmed.

(Later in the hospital bed, I thought, "I should have just come out when they asked me to and taken out the unarmed guy". . like ya'know. .Kung Fu ish....smh)

He dragged my shirt like forever....tore it sef... trying to get me out of the car. The other was still point the gun at my face, at the same time trying to push my hand away from the gear .... (Cos if I had reached it, the story probably would have been different today).
I was trying to be sane...and reason with them. REASON WITH ARMED ROBBERS!! WHAT WAS I THINKING??
I knew exactly what they wanted, but the thoughts in my head were like "you don't have money to buy them a new car yet oh... better save this one" Kai...my foolishness...oh and I was also thinking the gun was not loaded...smh.

Well...They eventually got tired of dragging me and red shirt ordered blue shirt to shoot me....lol...I looked at blue shirt like "seriously are you guys gonna do that...that gun is not loaded". I stared at him waiting for what he was gonna do.

Bros shifted gun to my leg direction. There was a loud bang and a ringing sensation in my ear as I felt my leg get heavy and stiff. "shit!" That's all I said.
I kid you not, the only reason I came down from that car that day was because he looked like he was going to shoot again, and this time, not my leg.

I found a rock to sit on while I watched the car zoom off..."shit! Shit! Shit!!" Was all I could say. Just then babe came out of her gate. You really cannot imagine my suspicion at that very moment!! I warned her!!

Then I brought out my little phone and called my brother.......

From then onwards it's all thanks to God. The Car was found and one was caught. Just a few hours later. I can walk perfectly now too. And I thank God.

I mean I could have lost my life....why... vanity...smh. thank God.

But even till today, sometimes I close my eyes and find that gun pointed to my face...
