The lady parked by the side of the road and the guy who was trying to navigate through the tight space,brushed her car slightly.(there was no dent). She started screaming and shouting which was understandable at first .This guy suddenly grew angry and was alluding to the fact that her car had no dent and her screaming was uncalled for. This lady was adamant,"do you know who I am?I'll deal with you".Before you say jack Robinson,she goes to her car pulls out a gun(I now realize was a teaser) and pointed at him threatening to blow his head off.She claimed she was an SSS officer.
As per Hausa guy who wasn't scared,he dared her to shoot and said he wasn't scared of her gun.(everyone thought it was a gun including himself).Then he wanted to walk away and she held him back threatening to slap him.He said"If you slap me,i'll slap you back". By now,people had trickled to the scene and were calming her down.She didn't listen oh..So,i stepped out for a bit and by the time I returned,the situation had escalated as she had slapped him already.
She tried to walk away but the man who had pulled off his shirt in rage ran after her,blocking her.Though he was boiling,he restrained himself from touching her.
So,some ladies came out,and took her into their apartment while the man was cursing and shouting,sitting on the road and almost in tears as he couldn't believe a lady half his age would do such to him..All pleas by several men for him to ignore it and leave fell on deaf ears.
Someone called the Police and when they came, they asked her to show her ID since she pulled out a gun. She didn't have any.They started calling her a criminal and before you know it,they called for a backup van.By this time,this same lady who claimed to be a big girl started begging oooo. I was stunned. Hian! Wasn't she the same one who was bragging some minutes back?
All the people she was calling failed to show up..when she noticed it was the world against her,she resorted to explaining and begging.
Apart from a few men who wan toast..lol , a lady ,and one particular middle aged man, no one came to her rescue as they ordered her to enter the police van.She begged and begged""I'm sorry,I said I'm sorry nah".The Hausa man refused to listen to her o.The men who witnessed her earlier rant and threats,said no,she must go because she assaulted the man...all her pleas fell on deaf ears.They didn't use force on her(kudos to the Police)but they made sure she went with them...
I felt ashamed for her....why brag when you cant back it up...yes,we are ladies,the weaker sex but please sometimes we overstep our boundaries.
She was also very lucky the heated exchange took place in an enlightened place like 1004,if not...would have been a different story(I'll share a shocking story with you all by weekend)
NB:I took photos but decided not to post them..as long as my message has been passed"..
