FB_IMG_1516472512912.jpgI didn't know what to do, i cried, jumped,rolled on the floor and stood up. Nobody even came to tell me sorry, every one was just minding their business like i wasnt there.

What do i do? How do i locate Abdul @ Egbeda? Where do i start from?

I walked up to a shop in front of me and tried to narrate my ordeal to the lady in the shop, she ignored me for a while and then shouted at me to "get out" of her sight, "na so una de waka de dupe people, scammer oshi", she said.

I checked my wristwatch, the only thing of value i had left on, it was almost 2am and i was still stuck where i was. Nobody would let me sleep in the park, i even begged to sleep in one of the cars and they called me a car thief..

An Old man who sold "Agbo"(herbs)signalled me to come and i rushed immediately to meet him, he told me he saw everything that happened to me and that he would be willing to help if i could afford 1k, that he will give me a place to sleep for the night..

"ahhhhh sir, i don't have a dime on me, yoh say you see the time wey dem attack me, baba dem collect everything for my hand" i said..
"okay, carry this your tori go channels Tv,dem go listen to u. I de try help u, u de here de talk anoda tin" The old man said as he arranged his wares.

After much plea, i handed my wristwatch over to him.My Dad gave me that Watch When i came out Tops in Class and it's one of my prized possessions.

Baba took me to an interior place in the heart of ojuelegba.. As we approached the place, a girl of about 14years was frolicking shamelessly with a boy around thesame age, i looked at them and felt like beating the living daylight out of them but i just had to compose myself so as not to spoil things with BAba..

Smell of Indian hemp greeted us as we took another corner, when the boys sighted Baba, they hailed him "baba for the boys"He helped himself to a stick of hemp and puffed it out like a boss..

When we finally entered the house, I saw about 50 persons stuck in one room, virtually lapping each other,both boys and girls, so comfortable in their discomfort .

I was till waiting for Baba to tell me where i would lay my head but to my surprise, he headed for the door.. "Baba where i go sleep"? I asked.

He looked at me like i asked a stupid question and answered "come sleep for my head, look for somewhere position yourself, and besides u know say na just for one night, tomorrow you find your way"Baba said and stormed out..

I stood there confused as i stared at the smelling bodies on the ground, some on the chair, some even stood upright... I managed to help myself to a spot, i squeezed in as a fairly reasonable guy adjusted for me so i could at least lay my head...

Just when i thought i had found peace and solace for a while,one of the girls screamed out loud and woke everybody up, "why you touch my breast, why you touch me"She wailed.

I mean, with the way everybody was squeezed, it would be inevitable to not at least rub your skin against another, so why is she shouting.

She continued her noise and finally grabbed my shirt, i was so confused as to what to say, the other boys moved closer to me,called me an imposter and landed me a huge blow on my face that almost ended every atom of my existence, they stripped me of my trouser and shirt, pushed me outside and warned me never to come back.....

So here i am again, at 4am in the morning, in the middle of nowhere...all because of a breast i didn't touch!!
