I like the idea of city centre 10km, robbers 2km. LOL.

We held an engagement party for my sister in Marina at the Army Officer's mess. At about 9pm as people were leaving the soldiers came up to us and informed us that when driving home we should take care not to drive through "Apongbon" as there were armed robbers currently operating there. <BR/><BR/>Please find another route for your journey home they said! The sheer audacity of members of the armed forces sworn to protect and serve. When we commented on this. they informed us that that part of town was notorious for armed robbery and that this was in fact a nightly ritual that they chose not to get involved in...I am assuming that this little ring is how they feed and clothe their children? Bizarre!!!Monefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864659934704793785noreply@blogger.com
