Ebuka was unto something when he said "I will pray, I will pray. I will pray ooh I will pray. If I don’t pray. Satan will make mess of me.”

Because what I have experienced today…

The nonchalance with which some people approach work is a specific kind of violence. No sense of urgency unless there is personal profit involved. I’m learning to breathe through it.

the early bird gets the worm. the worm was also early. nobody is celebrating the worm’s punctuality. survival is complicated.

@Marknit0 Lol. Abuja people have a schedule. The event was on a Sunday night. AND most of those people only came out to see Odumodu. “Rave culture” is still budding here. Ma binu

One of my worst fears in Nigeria is someone being kidnapped.

The reason I fear kidnapping so much is that “asking for ransom” — as badly as it sounds — is the best possible outcome, except they just let you go.

There are a lot more worse things that could happen.

- You could be repeatedly raped all year round.
- Someone could turn you into an object of their fetish desires.
- You could be slowly killed, harvesting different parts of your body at a time.
- You could be turned into a baby factory, getting impregnated every 9 months while selling off your babies
- You could be sold into modern slavery
- You could be killed to make a point.

Anything. Anything could happen to you without asking for money—and you have zero power. Zero.

Imagine what those young girls are going through now. Just try to imagine it.

And in this country, you cannot be hopeful there’s help coming for you.

Crazy.

At this rate, Bolt is very boldly contributing to the rising crime in Abuja.
Because how can I send a report telling you that a driver on your platform set me up to be robbed and your response is "Sorry for this experience"?

Even if you don't do anything else this month, remember to change your sponge. Please. And your toothbrush. I’m begging.
