Sunday of remembrance // A Step Away from Being Arrested For Content Creation

Content creation would have sent my to the cell which I have never been in my entire life, in Nigeria, No youth is an Internet novice even those in thick villages where there is no light and network migrate to towns to make earn meet, some shot funny skit in towns and some in villages, everything has become a content, let's recreate is what comes into their minds, each time they see any happenings, a video is made or a picture taken, even if you are not the victim you will be surprised to your face on the Internet, or very surprisely you will see that crazy moment and wonder who snapped you to post in a class chat group.

Let's delve into the main content. This story is twisted somehow. I mean, I will be making more like an anonymous storytelling with reasons. That very day I decided to purchase a device to improve my blogging experience. I went with a friend of mine, and I made my choice of devices after many hours of indecisiveness and contemplating having something that wouldn't drain all my earnings and savings. The customers had time to interact with us. He was telling us how money has no value today in the country. He was telling me that our budget wasn't even up to an interstate flight in the country. He encouraged us enough to put in our best in whatever we do and strive to create impact wherever we find ourselves.

^{Spot the tear gas in that infinix building}

While in the shop trying to figure out my device features and clone the old device to the new one, I saw a woman running and struggling to breath, I thought she was the only one, many passed with tears in their eyes, seeing the road became very uneasy for them, I decide to peak through the door to see what going on and behold tear gases were spread all over the point where road side hustlers gathered to seel things like shoes, register sims, pos, a man with an axe was backed up with police officers and communities watch men was destroying all road side sales point that made the road compacted, I have never perceived tear gas in my entire life, if I who was not even close to point where this tear gas was spread is having a peppery feeling in my eyes, how about those who were very close.

Soon everybody stood out to watch; POS points were destroyed with an axe, so I stood to video and capture some parts to create content, but I never knew that one of them was watching me. How could he spot me from amongst the crowd? He came straight and took my bag from me; his intention was to get my phone from me. Immediately I flung my hand and ran into the shop. My heartbeat tripled; the bag contained my important school document, my power bank, and I was sure of losing that because this set of people is without mercy.

Thought flooded my mind; I concluded to let it go, and in less than 20 min, I saw the same guy approaching with a police officer. They called me, and I fell out (military term). They asked me if I was a government official, the governor, or the president, or a military personnel. When I heard this, I knew my own had finished. He was with a plastic table leg, and on falling out, he flogged me on my shoulder. He gave about 4 strokes on the same point and asked me to come with him outside. I knew I was going to be treated like a thief.

Ongoing out something delayed him, a tall looking guys with a casual wear was discussing with him, trying to calm the situation, and he asked me if I still had the video I recorded on my device and I said yes, he told me to delete it and warned me never to try that again, my bag was returned and I was asked if all my gadgets were intact and I said yes, before now my soul has gone to meet with my creator but thank God for the intervention, I came to discover that the guy that inceded for me was in the ARMY, no wonder he had such an influence, I don't know what would have become of me all in the name of content creation, I am grateful to God and even though I didn't give testimony on Sunday he know how much I am grateful. I can't forget this day and how I was shown mercy.

Sunday of remembrance is a day of testimony, If possible I would love @mariami @ciru2014 @jes88 and @faires to share their day with us, this guys didn't know I still had the pictures with me all for content creation😁
