Ok...few days ago on my way back from the village, The chick that sat beside me in the vehicle I boarded was pinging all thru the long journey, she seemed to be enjoying herself cos she was smiling and bumping her head to the music playing from her head phone while pinging with her smart phone...Big girl feeling fly...she pinged for hours till her battery was flat and the phone switched off...Then she sighed ohhh Goddd..... I could tell she was a jjc...She needed directions to get to her destination. Of course she had to make phone calls but as dumb as she was, she already drained her phone battery... Then She began to beg passengers for their phones. She was like...Aunty borrow me ur phone maa use call my people, Aunty borrowed...20 mins later, Uncle where we dey? Abeg borrow me ur phone, I no sabi road...Maa call my family. I was getting pissed. I just dey look am dey wait make my turn reach to beg for my own phone, As if she read my mood she ignored me. I dont understand how in this present day, one wouldnt know the importance of keeping a phones battery lasting as long as possible over a long distance trip until they become stranded. This reminds me of some years back when my dad and his friend used the lift(elevator) in the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) business unit Ijora Lagos. When the elevator got to the last floor, It developed technical fault and they both got trapped in the elevator. No way to get out. They needed to make phone calls to be rescued. The friends phone already had no battery life. The man was crying and saying his last prayer. Well dads phone battery was almost dead, just a single red bar signalling battery low.....Luckily, He was able to make a frantic phone call to the manager b4 the phone switched off completely. Now what if the phone battery was completely dead, how would they be rescued? They couldve been trapped in there for hours and probably suffocate to death. My point is, Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver. Most of us ping, play music, browse the internet till our phone battery runs down completely and the phone switches off...We forget to conserve some battery for later(unforseencircumstances).Well we just dont care, after all we can always charge later. Its a very bad habit. This gadget(phone) we carry about is a very essential item. Its not just for fun! What if theres an emergency?...What if something serious happens, things we’d rather not think about? kidnap? Rape? Health challenge? Robbery? Or a situation where u need help and u need to call someone? It will be so painful when youre in a critical situation and u already own an item that can save u from that situation, but u cant use it at that moment. Know that your phone is an emergency tool for survival. There are thousands of people every year that are fortunate enough to have their phone save them from death.
