Olopa Abegi sir!!!
(Police officer, please sir)
On another culture shock in the abroad!!
I remember one of those days that I had to work late into the night. The shift was kinda stressful and immediately I finished, I sha managed to drag myself into the car and was already dreaming about landing on my bed and having a good night sleep 😁
The drive from work to my house is about 25 minutes and I was almost half way home when all of a sudden I noticed a red light had started blinking on top of the car right behind me and the occupant seem to be calling my attention!
Ah kileleyi ke!!! My mind first cut. Hope it’s not what am thinking ke??
Police? Ah, egbami!!! Please someone should call my mummy 🤣🤣🤣
Wetin I do? I first checked my speed to ensure I’m still within the speed limit,
Abi is it me, abi is it not me?
I sha kept going for about 10 seconds and when I was sure that I was been flagged down, I sha eventually stopped.
Now this is where it gets interesting.
As per proper Naija babe wey be customer daadaa with ‘our friends’ on lagos road, I expected that the cop was gonna come to the driver’s side immediately but I didn’t see anyone. (He was most likely looking up my license/ plate number)Infact I was almost contemplating driving off when a second mind just said I should get down and see wetin dey sup. Rookie mistake 🤣🤣🤣
Immediately I approached the car like this, I just heard ‘could you please get back into your car’!! Omo cold first catch me🥶🥶 I just respectfully staggered back into my car and started chanting psalm 23 in combination with calling Olorun Babalola 🤣🤣🤣
After what seem to be like an eternity, the cop came to my window and asked me if it was mu first time of being stopped and I answered in the affirmative.
Oga said next time I’m being stopped, I should ensure I stay put in my car until I am approached cos he’s not sure if I was coming to attack him by getting off my car.
I said yes sir 😂😂
Oya oga why you stop me? He said he’s been following me for a while and I was doing 80km/hr on a 100km/hr road and I was on the fast lane.
Ah! Baba okomi, Ema binu sir, I was just trying not to pass speed limit ni sir🤣🤣
Na so the guy say na service lane I suppose dey, say he no go gimme ticket.
Me: Eseun baba mi, ee ni daamu!
As soon as he left my side like this, omo I carry my Kaya & moved to the service lane and was just shouting plenty Halleluyah until I reach my house.
E bami yin oluwa logoooooooooooo!!!!!!!
(Help me praise the Lord)
