I love to work at night, especially with the street lights on and the roads quiet, but after that I was pursued by the SARs police in Nigeria (Before the end SARs protest) I stopped late-night activities. Although I stubbornly still do night walks once in a while, I try not to stay up as late as I used to. I feel life will be more beautiful if I don't have to worry about some mug by the wayside, or like the case of the SARs police, some uncultured and untrained security officials looking for who to exploit. When I say I love night walks I'm talking about walking from around 11:30 Pm in the night to maybe around 3 in the morning. The feeling of that morning breeze is something I can never get used to, especially during the rainy season or harmattan.
Then again a world without borders would make me a traveler if I can get to eat for free 😂. I mean what else would I need when I can go anywhere I wish, sleep anywhere I want, eat anything I want wherever I want, and get to experience nature firsthand. we have been born into a world of greed by which the entire system functions. In the name of order a system that only favors a set of people was created, and fixing such a system that has existed for ages and has developed in recent times is almost impossible and would require generations to be put in order. We are in a system where you can not take men by their words, a system where everyone is focused on their ambition and does not care how it affects others
It's become so bad that only very few have really true intentions for humanity and even those few have to battle the system daily for survival. I remember in my second year, I was chilling with some of my friends till around 1: 00 am when I decided to go back home. On my way, I noticed the light of a car from a mile away, and seeing how slow it was moving, I decided to walk a little faster till I reached a junction where I took a bend. It was in the process of taking the bend that I heard “Hey you, stop there” Living in Nigeria, you definitely know it is suicide to stop when you are asked to stop like that, so I opted to run for my dear life when I heard the first gun shot.

Fear ran through my spine that day, and I was already on the go when the second gunshot came. I ran as fast as my legs to carry me or even faster 😂. Reaching home that day I entered, locked my gate, and my door then started piping through the window to see if I was being followed. Turned out I wasn't, but it took about 30 minutes to recover from the shock. It was that day I knew that indeed the system doesn't support the good, proving that you are good and mean well in most cases is a complete waste of time. To be honest it's one of the reasons I don't travel, no one knows where wickedness could meet a person, and meeting you in a place where you have nobody to defend you is another story entirely. For that reason, my perfect world would be a place with no fear of insecurity where I can travel and enjoy nature in different places around the world.
