My SARS experience🕴

 


Did I share my police harassment story with you? I guess I didn't 


Well, as much as I always try to evade addressing the negative sides in the police force because of the people I have there, I won't hesitate to speak now.


I posted something on my WhatsApp status on Sunday when I saw the news that SARS has been dissolved and the caption reads thus ''FG finally shenk SARS, our boyfriends are free now.''


The reaction of people really surprised me when some started questioning me to know whether I'm dating a yahoo boy. Some even went to the extent of accusing me of being a party to fraud.


Lol, I was like ''what the feck!''


SARS do not only chase after yahoo boys, they harass you when you look too good to be true. 


Okay wait, you saw the comedy skit of a guy who defined SARS?

Dread, iPhone, laptop, chains, designer wears et cetera.


How many is my body that SARS officer is stopping me?


So it happened like this o, I took a bike from Sango to Iwo road (within Ibadan metropolis). I had a laptop in my bag, turned my facecap to the back, plugged in my earpiece and was enjoying the breeze, the shuffled songs and ehmmmm, yea, the smooth ride on the highway.


Just some kilometres away from the Officer's Mess, my bike man was stopped by two men carrying rifles but without uniforms.


Was asked to get down, gave them my bag, they removed the laptop and checked (who knows if they wanted to confirm if it was an apple brand) even after I had made them know that I had nothing hidden on it.


They ordered me to unlock my phone, searched through, didn't find anything implicating but still won't let me go.


Kai! As to say they are armed, I no fit talk plenty. I just dey borrow myself brain make e no cum turn to stories that touch.


To add up, it was a morning and I was running late for work already.

They delayed the bikeman and me for several minutes.


I showed them my press ID card but I realized they didn't even regard it.


The plenty sense I have saved me that day. I called one of my bosses at the office who knows somebody that knows somebody (you know how the link works right?)


He asked me to give the phone to one of the men and yea, we were let go.


The few lines of my explanation might not really describe what I went through in the hands of these people on that day but I'm glad worse wasn't done to me.


That story you just read ehn was a friend's experience and yea, we still hear and read about near death experience of others.


You see ehn, I would advocate for SARS ending over and over again.


They are meant to protect us from robbers but the reverse is the case.


The brutality from the people meant to safeguard the lives and properties of the citizens is beyond mere explanation and this has got to stop.


Do you have any SARS harassment or exploitation experience?

How did you escape?

What else would you clamour for in this country?

    Can't we live our life without the fear of getting killed?
    Lives are very important.
    They should be held and treated dearly.

    The brutality has to stop.
    I clamour for peace and justice.

Jedi-Jedi 💊

It seems as if jedijedi (chop yansh chop yansh) was propagated the past few weeks because I can count the number of people that had it. Even as I speak, it's still not fully flushed out of my system. Although there is no accurate english medical word for it, pile or hemorrhoids is widely known as jedijedi in Yoruba and it's caused by sweet or sugary things.  It's symptoms include itchy anus, abdominal and lower back pain, erectile dysfunction, diarrhoea, general body weakness and many more. You see ehn, whenever I see these salesman in car playing their herbal mixtures jingles for protruding anus, I was always laughing and making jest of those that could have found themselves in that particular health condition or probably thinking it only happens to children. I was shocked when I noticed my anus has protruded too. (this thing na turn by turn sha) Lol. I knew my sugar intake would immensely increase when I could no longer prepare food at home due to a tight schedule. I leav...

Sapiosexuality💯

The first time I came across the word ''sapiosexual'' was when I was reading a book about two years ago. You know what it means right? Sapiosexual means to be sexually attracted to intellectual or mental qualities, rather than to the physical body. Most times, we all crosscheck physical attributes before we consider someone's proposal.  We set qualifications within our hearts, most ladies say ''I want a tall handsome man with beards, six packs, dark or chocolate skin'' Some men say '' I want a lady with a  hourglass shape, beautiful, fair skin complexion, nice dentition and a moderate height.'' It's all good. But what happens when you meet someone with the aforementioned attributes, you ignited a conversation and you started hearing ''My names is Cynthia, they calling me CT babies, I enjoying eating spagerri and shicken'' Oh mine!😲 Did you hear that? Well, nobody would love to date a monkey. No matter how little, ...

Blood Sisters 🎬

 Hey fam, Have you seen Blood sisters series on Netflix? I know the Nollywood critics would be like why the hype but calm down, it's high time we started embracing what our actors are creating so we can give both positive and negative honest criticisms that would help them do better. So I didn't want to write anything on this movie before y'all think that is it just movie review everytime. A friend also watched the movie and she just kept saying what she felt about the movie and then I just asked her to give it a shot. She hesitated at first but penned something down anyway. Kindly read up fam (Credit - AKADI MAYOWA ) Have you ever heard of the term bestie? you have one or seen duo call each other that? set awon partners in crime🤣🤣, bestie no be for mouth o, it's two friends that so much understand each other (as in they can read each other like a book) and can do anything I mean everything just to have each other's back, this is the case of Kemi and Sarah in Bloo...
