What Would Have Been Your Reaction If In The Shoes Of This Young Man?

Let's hear from you as shared on Twitter by one Ajebo Writer with the Handle @serial_ranter https://twitter.com/serial_ranter/status/1652311842922831872?t=bojdpdVgKenIbi2u2SbogA&s=19


My neighbor is fond of leaving her child with me whenever she knows I'm around in the afternoon so she can rest while the little girl turns my house upside down

She made it a habit so much that once the little girl of 4 knows I'm around, she'll come over by herself

I stopped getting irritated when I discovered that her parents are always fighting. I decided to be a safe spot just 2 protect her from d toxic atmosphere once in a while.

One afternoon, I closed very early from work and decided to work on a client's Skit when I heard a knock

Immediately, I knew it was my little friend, Rashidat.
I wanted to ignore because the client had paid in full for the Skit but Rashidat kept knocking & I knew she will knock till eternity. I paused my work and invited her in, gave her ice-cream and snacks, and put cartoon for her

Later, we started hearing her parents voice, they were fighting as usual. Few hours later the mom came to carry her.

I could see shame and gratitude on her face even though she avoided my eyes.

Few minutes later, I heard a loud bang on my door.

Could it be that the little girl is back?

The banging continued and I went to open the door and met a mob outside

I didn't see the slap until it landed and I literally saw stars

Rashidat's father dragged me out by the neck after slapping me, thank God I was putting on my new white singlet and boxers

What's happening, am I dreaming? I was confused

"Rapi$t!" They kept shouting as they landed blows and kicks all over my body

My neighbors, people I know and play with on the street, guys and ladies I hang around with were suddenly acting like I was a criminal

I started crying and begging them

"Mummy Rashidat, please what's happening, who did I r@pe?" I pleaded with my neighbor

Whooosss!!! She slapped me with a scapula and I felt blood in my mouth

"Don't ever mention my daughter's name from that your evil mouth. How can you do this to me, how can you r@pe my baby, my four years old baby, how?"

"Jesus, me!!!" When!!!"
I screamed

"Make we burn am?" The vulcanizer that always fix my tyres asked

"And na handsome guy o" the lady I usually buy pap from said

"Fine man like this wey fit fu*k any woman he want, na small pikin he like!" My next door neighbor said

"Na yahoo boy, na ritual. He go confess before we kill am." One popular yahoo guy in the neighborhood said

Then I heard the police siren and I was grateful for the Nigerian police for the first time in my life.

I was arrested, handcuffed and bundled into their vehicle. Thank God the mob didn't remove my boxers and strip me naked. I couldn't even imagine dying exposed with my penis dangling out for the world to see.

At the police station, the DPO called Rashidat, and sitting beside her with a friendly smile on his face, he asked her

"Is this the uncle that touched you?"

I looked at the baby I always gave icecream, cake, and snacks to and tears dropped from my eyes.

"Don't be afraid dear, you are safe here. He can't do anything." He assured her.

"Talk Rashidat, your daddy and mummy is here nothing will happen." The mother patted her head

"Tell us what you told your daddy and mummy." The DPO asked

"I and uncle made love for mummy and daddy."

"Ahhh... Abomination!" The officers shouted in the station

"How many times have uncle done it with you? The policeman asked

"One time." Rashidat said shyly and quietly I almost didn't hear her.
"Was today the first time, my little one?" He asked again

"Yes." Rashidat said looking down and moving her feet

"Very brave girl. Now, tell me and your mummy and daddy how he did it?"

"It's very easy, I'll show you." She said smiling and went to her school bag, opened it and brought out a piece of paper and crayon

Then she drew a heart and colored it. Then she wrote, 'I love mummy and daddy' under the heart.

"See!" she said, smiling proudly and showing everyone the drawing she made.

"Uncle taught me how to make love for mummy and daddy today because they are always fighting."

The DPO took the paper with the drawing of a heart that I taught Rashidat today to draw and give her parents just to make them happy and stop fighting.

The police station became quiet.

To me, I think situations like this are mainly responsible why people often refrain themselves from lending any form of assistance to others, and jungle justice is profoundly unavoidable in most circumstances even without carrying out any form of investigation.
I thank God that the innocent man wasn't lynched before the arrival of the police otherwise he would have just died for a crime he did not commit.
The reaction of the people within his neighborhood speaks volumes of the level of hatred being exhibited in his absence. It clearly shows that the guy is doing well in his career, hence being envied even by those he patronize for one thing or the other. In fact, the direct next door neighbor is the most wicked of them all in this fiasco.

May God keep on protecting His own and the innocent people out there from harm's way.
Happy Sunday all

What a load of BS

BS? Please enlighten me

What a load of BS

Mere write up story.
But nice story anyway.

Hmmmm! I don't think this is correct though

Fabricated story that has been on for ages.

Whether fiction or not, I believe there are boundaries sensible people should not cross in the name of 'help' especially in today's world.

I also do not support 'saviour complex' that makes people want to jump into into situations they did not cause nor is their direct concern.

A man and woman have a toxic marriage; what is your stake in it that you continually entertain their 4 year old daughter in the age where every man is a rapist and pedophile and all sort of vile characters till they proven innocent?

If you are so concerned, call social workers, NGOs or report them to your landlord/landlady that they are disturbing the neighbourhood.

Or better still, relocate out of the house when your rent is due.

See how quick the mother of the girl turned against him. I mention the mother because she encouraged her daughter going to uncle's house when it suited her.

I hope people learn and stop dying foolishly.

Only Jesus Christ is the saviour of the world yet, He can't save everyone because they do not believe in Him.

It's fiction.
From ajebo writer.
Check it again, the write up is fine than ordinary story writing.

I didn't need to read more than a few lines to know it's done fictitious story that only happened in the head of the writer. Thus I cannot react, nor imagine a reaction to a fabricated piece of crap

Let's even assume that it is a fiction, but don't you think that one can read to learn one or two lessons from it?

Oh of course, those who need to learn the lessons from it can go ahead to do so but for me, the time and "energy" I would have spent reading all that can be diverted into something of far greater interests
