I know say this thing dey very important but e no dey easy to do. E dey hard to tell your people every of your waka o. As a young bobo, once once you must involve in illegal movements, how u wan take tell your people say you wan enter Casablanca?
Even as person wey don marry, you gat chill out sometimes make family stress no kill you.... base on that, how e go be to tell wifey say you dey enter some kind illegal place? Abi you wan scatter your family?
Wetin I go advise be say, person suppose get one trusted person wey you go dey relate your illigal movements to wey no go cast you o. Then wifey and family members fit know the normal movements them.
Na sense them take dey survive for this life, meanwhile, my comment na for the guy men them... no be for our Deeper Life members o
I enjoy how you take nack the nail on top the point even though I no like the name illegal sha. Person wey dey innocent or old school fit translate am something else. But na the koko and matter be that. As we dey young so, na so we dey hunt for our freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of association and freedom of movement.
As person dey mature na so him want make them allow am talk. Na so him wan contribute for every conversation whether e consine am or not. Him wan chuk mouth for any Mattias. But as person don dey grow old again, na so him go know say, there's power and wisdom in silence. When you don't talk necessarily, you save more words for the future use. And na so u go leave people inside incognita mode. E dey okay make life be like that.
As for freedom of association and movement, as plenty of us dey mature na so we wan dey jump from one place to another con dey wan make plenty OGs at same time. We want make people dey hail us, make.dem sabi say we dey exist. Always trying to become relevant and get some validations or blueticks from people. But as you don dey grow, na so you go still realize say e no be anything. Na as we dey get that freedom of association, na so we dey pursue freedom of movement.
Every place we wan go, we wan follow-follow and we wan dey waka, waka go different places, including places wey fit spoil our character (na that one be the illegal place wey u mention). We wan pull up with guys, we wan make dem hear us for street and na plenty reasons why youngsters dey quick-quick push themselves go early grave be that.
Clearly at OP, ur family and trustees no fit save guard u where dem supposed harm u just by telling them ur whereabouts. Just as ur storyline, if the guys has told their parents (trustees) about their where to or whereabouts and they kidnapers hit them, how the family (trustees) want take give save guard response to that scenes?
You talk am well, mate. Telling your family your whereabouts is not just enough. Being able to identify your boundaries as in places and periods to move around will be very helpful. Also make you try to understand the terrain wey u dey enter go really help a long way because most places wey these kind things they happen deybget signature (track records) unless on exceptional cases. So e good make we discipline ourselves well and monitor our movements as well as people around us (the passersby) and the environment at large. When you notice Surugege dance (suspicion), no body need tell you japa.
Prayer na the roadblock to any evil and devil irrespective of how much them be or the number of attacks. No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment which also includes ill-fated attacks from enemies and frenemies. Person wey God don protect, man no fit harm am no matter how them gather.
As a person you suppose get this mindset after you don exhaust all other precautionary measures because for this our country, not even the family and friends, dey secure again. And kidnappers no dey send numbers of target before them hit.
To back up your prayers na to set up emergency numbers for your phone so you fit phone a friend or family when you're in danger. Also try make you know how to dial the 911 number so that you can reach out to the security deposits close to your vicinity. Some of them they work and dem fit rescue you sharply. No just underrated any options in the event it happens (God forbid) and learn how to shout and cry out loud when that could bring a solution to the situation.
