  12. I have been attacked like three times on that same kpansia area. Twice my phone was taken. I don't struggle with them,i generously give them what they want and still run for my safety. It's not cowardice, it's bravery peeps! I've bought several other sophisticated phones after those ones I lost so why risk my life?

  13. What a stupid thing he did? He should have let 'war' consume his property and he stayed alive. That is a case of - 'Agha rie Aku'. A lesson to all of us our there. Once you are being attacked, drop whatever you have in your hand and flee if you can and if you cant, just lie face-down and cooperate with them until they are done and gone before you get up. Dont ever struggle with them for anything that is yours. Your life is more precious than your property. Once there is life, it is said, there is always hope. Why did I say you must lie face-down? If they recognize you, you are gone o! So dont struggle for anything; dont resist them; just cooperate.
