Exactly what I have been dreading; Nigerian Police stopping me and asking for this & that. I’ve been driving without my licence (e dey warri) so I felt like a criminal already. I comot go somewhere (which is gist for another post) so on my way back naim I see the police dem, I first form say I nor see the two police as they were waving their guns. “Abeg they should not stop me oh” …I was already praying.
I had a pretty hectic morning and I never chop at all, it was about 3:00pm, I don’t need more frustration. I don’t want provocation ;most of my wrong decisions have been made when I was hungry and I need to use this medium to apologise for whatever I’ve said to people in real life when I was hungry. I didn’t mean it. LOL.
Anyhow sha, I stopped, my heart dey tensh but I flashed my most disarming smile, the smile I use to beg for things, the smile I use to pose for photos, I’m sure you guys know the SisiYemmie smile already.
I was expecting the man to just start the process, asking for particulars, kini kan, kini kan…but instead of a frown, he smiled. HE SMILED! I nor dey trust police smile so I increased the wattage of my smile. I kon wind the glass down…
“Good afternoon sir, I greeted, with a huge emphasis on “SIR”
“My dear, how are you”, he returned.
I need to insert my bb confused face, please you guys, I have never heard this kind of police-civilian kind of conversation, ever, ever, ever. Maybe the man fit don drink sef. How am I ke?
“I-I-I- I’m fine”, I stammered…
He shocked me more by saying; “I stopped you because you look too fine, you are a beautiful lady, so I say I should tell you, you can go”
SAY WHAT? COMPLIMENT FROM POLICEMAN?!
If una see as my head wan burst ehn…all the time I spent in front of the mirror this morning blending my pancake was so worth it at that moment. I always knew that lipstick I wore was a winner, combined with that my sassy wig. Irresistable! (You don’t know the lipstick? I’ll update my blog…I’ve been naughty. So watch this space sha)
Nothing absolutely beats this kain honest compliment from a stranger, a compliment that does not lead to something else. He didn’t ask for number, nothing. That’s all he stopped me to tell me, and I felt truly like the ONLY SISI IN TOWN! SISI EKO, SISI WENGELE, SISI YEMMIE! Abeg make I stop! LOL.
