The Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) workers of Lagos state have been conducting a raid on roadside sellers in Ipaja, Lagos State. A lot of people find it hard to pass the bus stop because it is filled up with roadside sellers and bus drivers, which makes everywhere clumsy and scattered.
“You all have to go there, clear every of their goods or anything you find on the walkway so that the place can be spacious again,” Mr Apotiaje orders all his workers to dash into the streets and wipe every unnecessary things on the walkway.
“Nobody can seize my goods. This is my shop and I am paying for it so I have the right to arrange my goods to any length. I have to shade my goods and I’m not even close to the bus stop,* Mama Somto brags as the workers were busy seizing some goods of people who arranged their goods on the walkway.
Everyday, when Mama Somto gets to her provosion store, she brings out almost all of the goods in her shop and displays them outside. Mama Somto doesn’t do that alone but passes her boundary and displays goods on the walkway claiming that it is the front of her shop.
“Mama Somto, the KAI workers are coming. Start packing your goods inside the shop. Those workers are close to this place and they will seize you if they see your goods on the walkway,” Indubusi, a young and jobless guy who doesn’t mind his business in the society runs to inform Mama Somto and every other person who is guilty of arranging goods on the walkway.
Mama Somto, a very adamant being who claims she’s right and perfect all the time ignores Indubusi. While other traders takes Indubusi’s information seriously, Mama Somto plugged in her earphones and started to watch TikTok videos and singing along to the music in the video.
Even Mama Somto’s best friend, Iye didn’t have the time to warn her friend. She was making sure that she packs all her goods away from the walkway.
Suddenly, they started hearing noise everywhere.
Don’t pack our goods, please some traders who had ignored Indubusi’s information earlier started begging the KAI workers not to pack their goods away and next time, they will adhere to the rule of the KAI.
Still, Mama Somto was busy having fun with TikTok videos.
Instantly, the head of the KAI officers, Mama Abete, gets to Mama Somto’s shop and started packing all the goods she met on the walkway.
“Woman, you have the guts to sit conveniently despite seeing us packing other people’s goods,” Mama Abete said, carried a pack of Pepsi and wanted to fling it inside their van.
Immediately, Mama Somto stands up from where she was sitted and screamed.
“Woman, do not put my goods inside your van. I own this shop and I can do whatever I want it. If you get me angry, I’ll come to your office to report to your boss what you people have done to my goods,” Mama Somto was so calm and relaxed while watching them pack her goods so she’ll come bail them at the office whe claiming that she’s right.
Immediately, she packed the remaining goods inside the shop and dashed to the head office of KAI angrily hoping to go yell at them in the office.
“Hello sir. Your workers got to my shop and packed my goods which isn’t right,” Mama Somto went to the extent of taking a picture of her shop and handed her phone over to the head of all staffs, Mr Apotiaje.
“Madam, we all know that Lagos is looking more dirty and rough. This is why we have to do things like this to make sure that people have access to the walkway and make everywhere spacious again,” Mr Apotiaje says to Mama Somto.
In one second, Mama Somto’s pride falls and begins to beg Mr Apotiaje to order the release of her goods. He was so kind of give her back her goods but making her know that she’s wrong because no one should be allowed to arrange goods on the culvet nor walkway.
In the end, Mama Somto felt embarrassed after realizing that she was wrong. She never tried to arrange her goods on the walkway again. She arranges her goods only on the space given to her by her Landlord and also warns other people not to fall victim just like she did, due to her stubbornness and being adamant.
😂😂 they always want to learn the hard way first.
Imagine the stress of leaving her shop and going to their office, only to end up begging, when she should have done the needful from the start.
😅😅😅
I know so many people like that😅😅😅
Such assuming people like Mama Somto need to be taught a lesson like this. It'll help them to lower their shoulders.
Yes oh
It was a great lesson for her
