What Happened In 1967 Will Repeat Itself

When an elderly man of about 80 years old was boarding a Lagos – Ikeja bus at TBS Bus Stop in Lagos, on his way home, he experienced the usual rushing and struggling by the ever impatient commuters. But when he managed to board and gotten himself a seat, he noticed as the bus moved on that his wallet has been stolen from his back pocket. Immediately, he screamed, “Who ever took my wallet should return it or else, what happened in1967 will repeat itself!” And when there was no immediate response, he repeated the threat a few more times.

Suddenly, there was dead silence and fear engulfed the bus. A few minutes later, the commuters started asking in whispers, “What happened in 1967?” Shortly, the man that stole the wallet became afraid, quickly dropped the wallet and kicked it near the old man. A young lady saw it and exclaimed, “Sir! See the wallet underneath the seats!” There was a great sigh of relief throughout the bus. When the bus got to Ikeja and all the commuters were going their different ways, an inquisitive young Youth Corper who was also on the same bus, walked briskly to the old man and asked, “Sir, sorry sir, but what happened in 1967?” The man replied, “Son, in 1967 a similar event occurred, and you know what? I TREKKED HOME.”
