One sunny
day I was driving on an isolated road in Yaoundé. A taxi with 2 male passengers slowed down
near me, and while overtaking, one of the passengers said to me in French,
“Madam, you have a flat tyre”. He was so
insistent that I almost pulled over to take a look. On second thought, I decided to drive right
to the Acropole bakery which was
nearby. I can change a tyre by myself
but I just didn’t want to do it on an isolated road.
When I
arrived at the bakery, I alighted from the car and took a look around. All the tyres
looked just fine. I wondered why that
man told me insistently that I had a flat tyre. I didn’t give it much thought
as I went about my day.
A few days
later I was reminiscing on this incident and that is when it struck me: A lady
driving on an isolated road having a flat tyre is the excellent recipe for a
carjacking!
I thank God
for sending me an angel to inspire me to keep driving on that fateful day.
