Topic: PORT HARCOURT IS IN TROUBLE. IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE, PLEASE RE-THINK

I know that this is not the right forum to post this, because all of us are job-seekers and job advertisers. But I think that it is necessary that people are conscious of happenings around them.

Read on...

My people,

It was not a small thing yesterday ooo. PH is in trouble ooo. If this thing continues like this, I may have to run away ooo. Let me recount my experience yesterday:

I was sitting in front of my street [at one shop - it was closed yesterday because of the violence]. We did not even know that they were coming. All of a sudden they came [driving furiously] on motor-bikes. They were about 9 of them [millitants]. My brother, if you see these boys, only the sight of them will kill you. They look like DEATh itself.

What attracted them to my area was a tip off that Ateke boys [another millitant group] had come to our vicinity and that we received them. So, they came to have a showdown with them.

So, immediately they landed, everybody started running. But with the stampede, I did not know where to run to. So, they closed in on me. Then the worst happened: THEY ALL POINTED THEIR GUNS AT ME.

Honestly, by the time they pointed their guns at me [about 5 of them - the rest went to see whether Ateke boys truly came into our environment], I thought that I was dead. Infact, I was just listening to hear the sound of the bullet coming towards me. I felt like going to TOILET immediately. Heat started pouring all over my body as if they poured water on me.

So, I just knelt down on the road and lifted my hands up for them. The place I knelt down was even a muddy place - but I did not care. I started begging them. Listen to the conversation between me and them:

ME: Abeg, make una no shoot me. [kneeling down and with my hands in the air]. Abeggg,

THEM: Who you be? Who you be? [meaning: which cult do you belong to?]

ME: I no be anything ooo [stammering unconsciously] I , I, no be anything ooo. Abeg, make una no shoot me oooo. Abeg, Sir. Abeg, Sir [Imagine me was calling those touts Sir].

THEM: I say: WHO YOU BE? You no dey hear?

ME: I say I no be anything. Abeggggggggg,

When they saw that actually, I am not a member of any cult group, they said:

THEM: Oya, stand up!! Stand up!! Stand up fast!!!

Then, I stood up immediately as commanded [it was a situation of life and death - one pull on the trigger, then I would be dead].

THEM: Then, their leader said: Before, I open my eyes, Run Run, Run.

ME: Yes Sir! Yes Sir! Yes !!!!

THEM: Their leader says: Idiot!! Idioot!!!!

ME: I said: Yes, I be idiot. I greeeeeeeeeeeeeee ooooooooooooo. I be idiot. Thank you sir.

Honestly, the kind of race I took back to my house, If I had run that race for Nigeria at any olympic tournament, I would definitely have won a GOLD MEDAL.

My brothers and sisters, do not mind what the govt officials are saying. The millitants have over - powered the state government. The federal troops have to come in right now. If they do not come in, something go happen ooo.

People are dying every day by these millitants, yet the govt says that they are containing the situation. In fact, the best thing is for the federal govt to declare a state of emergency! Period!

If you are not in Port Harcourt, please do not come down here for any reason. This place is seriously becoming the BAGHDAD of NIGERIA. Stray bullets are flying in the air like raindrops.

Me sef, I am thinking of packing to any other peaceful city. I think Aba or Owerri will be a safer place.

PAJOJO
