Storytime: The Day A Student Was Stopped At The School Gate - 4 months ago

Omo yesterday was pure drama at the UniAbuja gate 😂

We took Keke from the park as usual. Once we reached the gate, we had to drop so the security men could check IDs  normal routine.

Now one guy inside our Keke didn’t have his ID card. Not because he lost it o, but because 200 level IDs haven’t even been shared finish!

Bros tried explaining, even showed his class group chat and school fee receipt. Still, the security man said “No ID, no entry.” 😩

Out of frustration, the guy asked, “Oga, when you see a thief, won’t you know?”

And the security man replied, “Am I a ghost?” 💀💀💀

That’s where wahala started. Security man vexed, saying the guy was trying to teach him his job.

Meanwhile, another man inside the Keke (who turned out to be a staff) was already running late. Baba just stopped a bike to leave, and the Keke driver ran after him like, “Oga, you never pay me my money o!” 😭

Me and another student had to go back to help the guy that was stopped. We begged, even apologized to the security man.

But deep down, I was just thinking why stop a student who’s clearly from the school, all because of an ID card that hasn’t even been shared yet?

You didn’t check his bag, you didn’t confirm if he was a threat —you just focused on the ID.

Meanwhile, people who say they came to “make enquiries” enter freely.

Like… what’s really the logic here? 🤷🏽‍♀️

💭 What do y’all think?

Was the security man right for insisting on the ID card?

Or should there be a better way to verify students?
