So you're driving…you get pulled over by LASTMA or the Nigerian Police, they accuse you of violating a traffic rule. They point to the traffic sign, but the sign is hidden by overgrown bushes and shrubs artificially placed there by the officers themselves. You try to logic reasonably with them, but nothing works. Before you know it, one tire has been deflated and then another and then another…suddenly you spark and yell: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!
 
Instantly the LASTMA official freezes and the Police officer cringes. There is a look of fear on their faces…you sense something is happening. So you keep yelling DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM. By now they are completely quiet and you are growing in confidence, so you jump out of your car against the wishes of your passengers and go into the officers faces and yell DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM. All of a sudden they start begging you to leave and apologize for their rubbish, one of them is so scared he almost pees his pants. You drive off…but not before you look the officers down and release a long Nigerian hisssss.

You have just perfectly executed the most powerful phrase in Nigerian history DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM! That phrase brings fear to people hearts and makes short people seem taller. So the next time you find yourself in trouble…just yell: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!

WARNING: This phrase only works in Nigeria…if you try it abroad and you enter prison…Opeyemi will not come and bail you out.

WARNING #2: If you are not driving a correct car…and you yell DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM…you will chop slap. Again Opeyemi will not come and bail you out.

NOTE: If you are confused as to whether your car is a correct car, then you probably don’t have a correct car.
