We all know 2020 wasn't a good year for the citizen of Nigeria let's take two minutes and prayed for the victim of lekki toll gates that lost their lives in the protest of #endsars and #policebrutakity.
We all know how the people put in office to protect the citizens are the same people shooting and arresting youths over issues like weeds, drugs, online scamming, going through phones in the process they found out things like white peoples photos, hangout app for chatting, numerous Facebook accounts is a crime in Nigeria, fraudulent crimes likely believe ninety percent of Nigeria youth are involved in this and they made a living through it.
2020 was the year of the outbreak of famous virus outbreak that lead many people lost their jobs, became stay home parents a lot of people to work from home, and social media became the only thing that was life-saving.
People started businesses online, creating content, and people couldn't even go out because the world was on lockdown can you imagine that the whole world went on lockdown?
This is 2022 Nigeria youth still live in the fear of police brutality despite the massacre at lekki toll gates the fear is still there hopefully we see the light and lived freely from these thugs that called themselves police officers.
Biebie Prada platform storms on the ground each step she took, she ran as fast as she can she could hear sirens afar from where she was headed precisely she knew they were very close.
she couldn't keep track of how much she had run to be sure she quite knew she had run a far distance, she got to a destination only gate divided the next turn all she had to do is either jump it or rolled beneath it, she had seen Kiera did some of her moves from jumping and rolling, most of the time she's caught in the act of breaking, according to the local police around their neighborhood Kiera had said she didn't intend to do any of these but she had to clothe and feed, is clear her parent has nothing to do with her anymore because of her stubbornness so she sleeps on the streets, in a crack car or the gang house at the 17th street everyone knows this and she doesn't care.
Biebie rolled beneath the gate hoping her platform won't be the reason these police officers get hold of her if they did likely she will be in jail not knowing when she will be out so she took the risk luckily for her she'd rolled successfully when she suddenly heard a familiar voice it was Toby her best friend while she was running she hasn't seen any sign of him how come.
"They are right behind you to throw me the bag" Biebie quickly unzipped her duffel bag takeout the bag of weed throwing it to Toby who catches it perfectly and dash into the other street, Biebie catch a breath as she flipped her hair back just getting on the route that leads to her home the police cornered her, they pointed the gun at her instructing her to put her hands in the air, she did when one of them walk to her.
"Why did you run when you saw us," he asked flickering his eyes all over her, Biebie didn't answer right away she was only breathing. He repeated the question the other two officers came closer they didn't have a gun just a nightstick.
"After endears in 2020 and police brutality, what do you expect of me roll with you guys and smile-
"Shut up, you have no idea what's police brutality now give me your bag" the officer reached for her bag but she pushed his hands away.
"You talked about police brutality, this is what happened when you refuse to con-side, a good citizen doesn't see the police and runs off-
"Look like y'all were directly coming for me so I had to take the road" Biebie defended herself still not giving them her bag.
"Only bad people run when they see police... police are friendly-
"I doubt, after all, you guys take every youth as a fraudster, arrested youths, and demand for millions over some scrappy kinds of stuff you come across on the phone-
"Is called corruption there are good cops out there and I'm one, now give me your bag without fighting because the last thing I want to do is force you to do it-
"How old are you" the cop holding nightstick asked coming forward, Biebie scoffs.
"Just turned seventeen last week" Biebie spat after she said it, the cop still came closer.
"You sound like you have a problem turning seventeen, is your Era you know that right" Biebie knew why they were taking it easy on her, her neighborhood is rich so they believed it cool to take it easy on only the rich kid plus racism never happened. he said coiling his lips they didn't look pissed or rage they were going easy with her because they believe she was the target.
"I'm only focused on turning eighteen seventeen is gone so I don't care" the officer took the bag from her unzipped it and poured everything on the floor just candies and lipsticks, they look shocked.
"Where is the weed," he asked looking pissed.
"Why are you sure I got weed in my bag, whosoever told you got the wrong person," Biebie said picking up her stuff and shoving them in her bag.
"I always want my daughter to attend your school it was a dream it just turn out is a crime zone every goddam person have one or two crime to commit..... you're the kid her parents passed are you not supposed to be in class-
"Don't talk about my parent, if I were you, officers I'd looking for another stray kid who might have weeds, I will gladly let it pass because of this uniform talk to me when you're aren't wearing this" Biebie walked passed them and left.

"Your lucky day huh" Kiera muttered getting up from the cemented block she was sitting on, Biebie realized she snitched on her.
"Which didn't go pretty well huh, at least I'm smarter than you thought-
"Ah ah ah let me be the judge I saw your boy getting in the house your decoy" Biebie sniffle the sun came out today so hot not only has she run a hell of a marathon she saw how the officers look at her like something was wrong with her, the anger and rage ran too deep she missed her mum, her food, from when she could remember she always took care of things for her now last two weeks she didn't only blow her off treated her like she wasn't enough.
"Your mom use to warn you against me now look at you the Sylvanus 12th street Kylie Jenner not only did you end up back on the street like me you're stuck look around authentic Kylie Jenner you have no one, leaving you and me with your ugly platforms they suck too thinking you were some baller" Kiera chuckle, but Biebie also stood mute emphasizing everything the worst of it is the name they tag her Kylie fucking Jenner it wasn't her fault she came from both rich parents not like her mom had a job if she did it will be bomb a fucking stay home mom.
"You think I am scared, just so you know you don't scare me I know how much you needed my platforms yet stay mad because despite the fact you fucked around you couldn't afford it, you're just as fake as the once's you bought at least I happened to wear varieties of them so I balled on you Kiera" her face darken that's point two Biebie knew of her strike from the police she's not going to lay a finger on her thanks for principal Felicia who told her after she expelled her.
"We are going to see you again little Kylie Jenner welcome to the hood, this ain't going to be your last run imma pile it up for you let's see how you survive on this street I run this entire block bitch".
Biebie get into the house toby already ordered food he was eating his, she glared at him with teary eyes her mom used to talk about miracles but never thought she'd experience one, Toby put down his food and hugged her tightly with assurance the weed is intact, Biebie snatched it from the table turn it over and over not like she didn't trust Toby how she managed to escape the cops if she hasn't by now she'd be on the news, the school always get informed before it lands on the blog.
"Thanks, Toby," she said again, Toby is very protective when Biebie had in mind to traffic weed in school tomorrow despite her getting cornered by the cops, principal Felicia had sent her an iMessage to come see her in the office not only did she intentionally refused to neglect the principal not to talk about she's her mom best friend.
"You have to lay low, for now, Kiera wants you in jail listen you don't need to do this there is another way" Biebie angrily stood up from the couch breathing heavily.
"You don't tell me that Toby my sister is missing not only do they think she is dead I can feel it she's alive and I'm not giving up on her-
"I'm not saying give up on your sister" Toby stood up as well all defensive straightening his reasons why she need to lay low if she lands in jail God forbid how will she find her sister?
"I get it under control alright, I did well last time and I will do it again the officer is close to finding her I need to sum up this money and pay him up so the next time I see him he should be standing next to my sis" it became intense for both of them Toby unclenched, she's right, officer Lawrence is already paid twice over five hundred thousand grand she can't possibly give up now that's her only family.
"It doesn't concern you Toby I think You have to head back to your mum or rescue burger world I don't want to make your life miserable more than it looks-
"Hey! I'm not miserable we are going to sort this out together I have a plan" Toby suggested her face lit up because he always saving her plus Toby devising a plan is considerable it always worked.
"Lil daddy" Biebie smirked, she almost thought better, is Biebie's weed supplier.
"Your supplier the dude made us fake IDs so we could club till we turned eighteen, about the club he met us I'm sure neither the cops nor Kiera snitch ass will know the whole school got eyes on you plus you have the best weed ever" Biebie remembered him vividly.
"How do you know my weed is the best," she asked, Toby, smiled and slapped her lap also a smile appearing on her face.
"I heard guys talking about it in burger world it makes them so high and I'm happy they order more than they eat, I think the club opens at 11:pm, well I had to hop back to the burger world then be right back to your crib-
"Is a good idea I have to do this alone I don't want you caught up in this. They call me Kylie Jenner I'm not that any longer this is my life now I'm not sure if I'm ready to give it up even if officer Lawrence happens to find my sister"
Toby assured her she was going to be fine adding ever since she lost her parents is now his responsibility to take care of her, how will it feels for her mom to watch over her from heaven you're doing everything alone, they are best friends and best friends are ride and die, he picked up the food from the table stretching it to her.
"Coke is in the fridge we are likely roommates now so we have each other to look out for, make sure you finish this I need your stomach full so we can finish business tonight" Biebie took the food and hugged him tightly again, she took out her car key and hands it over to him.
"I worry about what your little neighbor slash colleague would say, hey come on is just a car you don't need to walk there plus I'm not going out till 11:pm so ride it" Toby didn't take it,
"The last thing I wanna do is ride your car there is so much going on I know I let what she says gets to me well her mouth is filthy I just don't want to face her with the prep talk, I know the majority of these girls including Kiera look up to you I can't name it jealousy it just pained them they aren't your friends-
"I don't want them either is okay I will have the keys, please promise me you won't let her get to you" they did their little pinky swear before he finally bounce.
