Sincere Gratitude: Lady robbed on Eko Bridge thanks Naija government for poor security

Sarcasm proved to be helpful in expressing a woman's disappointment in her country's government.

A sad experience with robbers on the Eko Bridge, Lagos, has inspired bitter comments from an Instagram user, Msdaratayo, who blamed the Nigerian government for poor security.

She described in a post shared on Wednesday, April 11, 2018, an encounter that saw her car window broken - a factor that has encouraged her to lose hope in the idea of a brighter country.

Msdaratayo seemed displeased concerning the failed assurances of the Lagos State Government as well.

 

According to her, the state fell short of a promise to make the bridge safe for motorists.

The narrator ended her emotional burst with Bible verses expressing her desires for the individual who assaulted her around 06:30 AM on the Eko Bridge.

"Today, I got robbed on Eko bridge. Not the beginning of eko bridge, Not the end of eko bridge but RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EKO BRIDGE! Today I was mercilessly slapped around, harmed and beaten.

"Today, a fellow human being beat me up so bad because I refused to give them what I worked so hard for. Today, a fellow human being derived joy in stripping me of my hard earned money, bag and personal belongings.

"Today, a fellow youth looked at me, considered me a prey and broke my glass windows to rob me and went batshit crazy when I won’t drop my phone or car keys.

"Thank you my Nigerian government for doing nothing about the menace that these trailers on eko bridge are causing that caused so much traffic at 6.30am which allowed these miscreants to achieve their evil plans

"Thank you my Nigerian government for finally making me lose hope in looking forward to a better Nigeria.

"And most of all, Thank you Lagos Government and Lagos Police for lying to us about safeguarding this bridge, thereby giving us false hope that we were somehow safe.

"And for those thieves, I wish upon you Zechariah 5:3, Galatians 6:7 and most of all Proverbs 3:33!! Amen! #Lagos," writes Msdaratayo.
