5 Rules To Keep You Safe When You Go Out Clubbing!
The recent incident of a body being found outside Rafikiz has me shook! And if you have common sense, you will be scared as well! How does a night of merriment turn into a tragic event that cuts short a man’s life while he is still in the prime of it?
But there are simple rules that you can adhere to when you go out that should keep you safe and sound… Or at least keep you relatively safe. But just what are those rules? Well, Uncle Chim Tuna has 5 simple rules you need to learn:
#1. Never leave your drinks unattended!
Never leave your table and leave your drinks unattended. I don’t care how sloshed you are, how urgent that phone call is or how much you want to dance to your favourite song. This is the golden rule of clubbing! Adhere to this and I guarantee you a safe night out without having to wake up in a hospital or worse, being a sad tale on Ghafla!
#2. Always go out with a friend
I know this is a tricky one given the frightening statistics that most rape victims were preyed upon by their friends but trust me on this. Always go out with someone who has your back! Your friend will watch over your drinks when you leave the table and will help get that creepy guy carrying you out of the club (when you get sloshed) away from you.
#3. Always have the number of a cab guy
I have the phone number of a cab guy I always use when things get blurred. I trust him because he always returns anything I leave in his cab. Create a work relationship with a cabbie and stick to him. That way you know that even when you pass out, you will at least get home in one piece!
#4. Don’t engage in fights
I broke this rule. But from my point of view, a lady isn’t a gender, it’s character. Swing at me like a man and I will respond to you like you are a man. And here is the universe’s joke: bouncers will always assume the man is wrong. My advice to you, just don’t. Even if the heifers attacking you are ratchet enough to keep swinging, just don’t. The bouncers will pounce on you! Captain save a *female canine* and all that!
And ladies, a true lady doesn’t engage in fights. Ratchet girls, wait, you can’t party where I party… Except at Okolea!
#5. Don’t get sloppy drunk
I broke this rule on Saturday. I got wasted to the point that I couldn’t defend myself nor think straight. Never get sloppy drunk. This is something that puts you in situations that won’t end well!
