Mama Bisi is always not around at evening because of her akara business. She Fry's from Monday to Sunday. The only time her neighbors usually See's her is in the morning, during the day time is either she is in the room sleeping or she's out for another business. Mama Bisi is a very good person, and she always have challenges of thieves breaking into her house to steal feom the store whenever she's out for her business.
One fateful morning she was complaining bitterly to her neighbor Abiodun " last night they still break into my house and steal some tubbers of yam, rice and my money which i save for some purposes" she speaks as she was moving towards the veranda to pick a broom. Abiodum exclaimed pitifully " hmmmm! the way those thieves usually break into your house is always surprising. I still can't imagine how they manage to steal even when there are neighbors at home". Abiodun speaks as he Washes his bucket preparing to go take his bath.
Mama Bisi , what ever it is just keep praying, ninety-nine days for the thief one day for the owner.
"Yes oh my brother, i know surely one day God will expose them. With the way I'm suffering, can't you see what I'm passing through, enhh! Just to see that i help my family and also better the life my children, but somebody without the fear of God will do this to me , not once , not twice but several times. Ahhhh!" Mama Bisi said as tears drop off her eyes and rolled down to her chick. Abiodun nodding his in pity, he stood for a while, then he began to comfort her, "my spirit is telling me that there is an insider" he said confidently. Mama Bisi was stirring at him , them she took a deep thought for a while, she replied " yes i agreed with you, but who could that be?" Only God knows, because where there's smoke there's fire , someone you know is certainly behind this". Abiodun replied.
The best thing is to keep an eye closely, without the knowledge of anyone, and make sure you don't let this bother you, if not you might fall sick, Abiodun encourage.
Thank you so much neighbor mama Bisi replied.
On this fateful Sunday it rained heavily, at evening time and everybody is in the house already, except Mama Bisi who's out already for her market, the thieves have already planned their movement that night, since it was raining, it is a good time to steal freely without any disturbance or distraction. As they were breaking down the the door, they never knew Mama Bisi has some who will hide somewhere and watched them.
They break in and steal everything they intended to steal, as they where struggling with the loads on their head then Victor and his friend bashed out from where they were hiding and the thieves tried to run away, but Victor and his friend followed them , and they were able to recognize one of the thieves, a young boy who live very close to mama Bisi, they caught him and another of his college, they received the beating of their life that night, before they were forwarded to the station.
Mama Bisi was called home at the moment, she saw the damages and the goods they planned to steal, she was shocked, because this time around it was more than the previous once. She said crying "neighbor assuming they stole all these goods where will I start from, imagine having people's money in my room, what will i tell them happened to their money.

Mr Victor thank you so much, she appreciate them as they help her to pack the goods inside the store despite it was soaked with water, she never mind, i will dry it she said.
Turning to Abiodun, neighbor what you said the other day was true there's no smoke without fire, there's always an insider
Hmmmm! That night neighbors were out under the rain to help Mama Bisi.
After they were done moving the goods in inside the store Mama Bisi thank them, and expressed her gratitude towards them. Ever since then Mama Bisi have not encounter such mystery again.
Mama Bisi business began to flow well, without an obstacle and she was able to keep storage for future reference.
Lesson to learn be nice and good to your neighborhood and people around you in general, assuming Mama Bisi wasn't a good person, the thieves wouldn't have been caught and also she wouldn't have gotten someone to help pack her goods back to the store.
