Experience in a Foreign Land.
Hello my friends. How are you doing today? Trust everything goes fine at your side?
I will like to inform you about what happened to me and my friend in the past few days.
I appreciate my sponsors. Please
Check on their articles, they are
very illuminating and greatly
written.
Due to the incessant Strikes by the academic staff in my country's public universities, our varsity education became so elongated and unfinished, for this reason, i and my friend had to travel to a foreign land for greener pastures and for Business. In the shop we rented, we used generator most times for the running of our business, else we will run at lost due the failure of the electricity distribution company to provide us steady electricity. There, we used to help people to charge their phones and other gadgets for free, we weren't collecting money from anybody, reason been that, the electricity in that area is infrequently available, and we pitied people living around, we didn't want a situation whereby we would on generator and they wouldn't be able to charge. This we continue doing just for free.
One day, there was this nuisance guy, an indigenous person of the land, who used to come to our shop to charge his phone for free, so, that day he abused us, he rained a lot of insult on us, and went away.
Early in the morning the next day, immediately our shop was opened, he was back again to charge his phone, due to what he did yesterday, how he insulted us, we conjointly made the decision that we would not allow him in to charge so that he can learn his lesson that in life good character and well conduct is highly essential. As we neither allowed him in nor collected his phone to charge, he began to behave nonsensically, he increased the gear of his abrupt words, rushing them on us like the rain falls on the roof. As he was saying them, we were never vexed, crossed nor upset. When he saw we weren't moved by what he was saying, he moved forward to switch off our generator, it was as if that guy wanted us to lose a whole lots of money that morning, when he offed it, we on it back, and warned him not to off it again. Yet he wasn't moved by our warnings, he said we were on their land that there was nothing we could do to him, that he will off it again and nothing will happen. He went to switch it off again, we On it back. For the third time he switched it off again. My friend was already getting infuriated, i was calming him down. Now for the final time, he switched it off, that was how we held him, we were trying to contact the police so that they could come and pick him up for ruining our business time, and making the environment uncomfortable for us.
Before we could contact the police, his gangs, who were the same indigenes of the land, came over to us, holding rods in their hands, they were telling us that we were on their land that they can do whatsoever they like to us, before we could know what was happening, they started fighting us with rods, they even broke my friend's head, bloods were gushing out.
As i saw he was losing much blood, i quickly rushed him to the nearest hospital, there he was treated, the wounds were dressed, and the tears on his head were stitched.
Without wasting time, we moved straight to the police station to report how the indigenes of the land oppressed, injured and badly treated us, so, after the report, they saw what those guys did was entirely bad, so they began to arrest them, they arrested some, while others ran away. The District Police Officer (DPO) ordered them to be detained in the cell, there they were for two days, when their parents finally arrived, they started begging us that we should please allow their children to be granted bail, they said they would pay back the hospital bills. But before that time, we had informed our lawyer about the occurrence, he was already coming to the police station and he was preparing to sue them to the court of law.
Now that their parents are begging us, should we just let the matter end there, or we still take them to court so that they can learn their lessons very well, so that in the future they won't do such to another person?
Please i will like to see your comments on this matter.
Thanks for reading 💖💖

You life is in danger. Either you forgive them or not, they will come back to hurt you guys. I hate what this country is putting you through, if things were working well here, you guys won't be there tolerating that from those uncultured boys.
If possible move to another location, if it isn't try to make peace with them. Stay safe man.
