I was traveling from Port Harcourt to Bayelsa state yesterday afternoon, we go to a police check point and it was the Federal Sars men that stopped us. While they were doing their lawful duty of searching the vehicle and the passengers in it, a girl that was sitting behind me made a comment and the officer that was conducting the search heard her loud and clear. She said '' You people are just wasting our time, if it were the bad boys terrorizing the region you people won't stop them''. The Sars man got angry and asked the girl to come down from the vehicle, the girl came down and she was taken into their custody for further questioning about her comment. The officer asked the driver to carry the rest of the passenger and continue with the journey. Some passengers pleaded with the officer to let the girl go but they refused, they said the girl must show them evidence where she saw them not stopping bad boys. They accused the girl of working with bad boys. The girl was detained while we continued with our journey.
The girl wouldn't have found herself in that situation if she had kept quiet without saying a word.
we should learn how to control our tongue at all time. Don't say unguided words when in public place.
Don't say anything when your opinion is not sought after in a public place because you don't know who is who.
I feel like sharing this so that we can avoid some unnecessary problems in our lives.
Some people mouth no dey ever stay one place, anything wey dey see dey most talk am, even if e no concern them, if they say mind your business body go dey pepper dem to talk anything they see. If no be say we no dey respect forces for naija we dey take everything as cruise say them no care about the youth safety. They deserve their respect as Nigerian forces, but as things they happen to Nigeria youths that is why we are taking their job for granted. As you speaked she got herself into another trouble, if she remain silent at that moment nothing would have happened to her, she can't complete her journey with you guys that day. No be say na she be the only passenger in that motor but she see say she sabi talk pass all una.
That is why in some places if they see say person remain quiet, they will thinking that you too dey fear, but all is for the peace, for this country if you do over sabi e no dey ever favor at all, if it does not concern you remain calm, na when you chook mouth for person matter, you go cause trouble to yourself.
