It was 3:45 that night, my friends and I had just left the club after a wild night. It was a birthday outing and we had crazy fun like there was no tommorow. Everyone already had a lot to drink, all we wanted to do was get home in one piece and crash for the night. We weren’t looking for trouble.
Our bolt cab picked us from the club. Few minutes drive down the road we got stopped at an unnecessary check point by some police officers.
Police: *flashes his flashlight into the car*
We: oga good morning! Oga welldone ooo!!
Police:: what’s in your? Where’s your bag?
We: oga it’s just our phones
Police: come down, all of you
We were 4ladies in the car, I was seated in the front, I got my drunk ass out of the car, trying to keep my composure.
Police: you come this way! (That’s me)
Where do you work?
Me: I am self-employed
Police: where is that?
Me: I am a chef, caterer
Friend: she say self employed, u are asking where
I just couldn’t laugh out loud, dude was so dumb all he cared about was getting money
Police: open your bag, what’s inside?
I opened the bag, forgetting that 4k naira was just laying there
Friend 2: in Yoruba, she whispered “ma je ko ri owo ye ooo”
The drunk but woke spirit in me with a touch of my mother’s sharpness, I just stylishly wrap the money in my hand use atm and broken bag trap to cover it
Oga vex
Police: what did you tell now? Infact where is ur ID card?
Friend 2: I don’t have it sir, I didn’t tell her anything
Me: she didn’t say anything sir ooo
Police man: you must be very stupid. I should just lock u up, have you arrested!!!
Laugh wan kee me die, on top what grounds.
Frustrated mothafucker.
One of his colleagues came and waved us to leave. Oga was still looking for who to arrest
