WORDS AS LIFELINE: EMBRACING TALKATIVENESS FOR SURVIVAL

If being talkative is what will save my life from Lion's Den then what am I waiting for, I have some hidden talents in me that I haven't unleashed on anyone, so being talkative can really save I am in.

Someone who kidnapped you will be worried about how to get ransom from your parents, their mind will not be at peace because they will be calculative and also be scared so that policemen will not be involved in the matter so I need a way to distract them which could be through talking.

We all know how frustrating it can be when someone is a talkative and you need to concentrate or think of what to do but this person is distracting you with his or her talking nature, then this is when to showcase the skill, though I do not like to talk too much but as the case may be now I must initiate my hidden skill.

Firstly I will initiative a stammering attitude, no one likes it when a stammer talks, then I can start with a movie review, you will agree with me that it will be so frustrating to start with boobooo bobobob boobooboobooook before I pronounce book their eyes will be full of my saliva then I will start by telling them how I love to watch Korean movies and this can be frustrating when you are narrating a movie to someone who is not interested in you, I will start by sharing some emotions and make it perfect even when it is not real, I know it may be difficult talking for long but I will put on with my new skill.

I will never give myself a breathing space when talking because it may look like an escape plan to them, I will talk because my life depends on it and there is no way I will slack on it, after the movie review I will sing even when I can sing in real scenario but this I must ding to safe myself in such situation

Singing can be distracting as well, when someone is feeling uncomfortable with your act when singing then it is unpleasant to their ears, I will be singing unnecessary songs, not a Christian song because they might think maybe I am doing that to save myself too, I will keep myself busy with talk so that my mouth will not be close for a minute.

Another thing which I can talk about is history, not everyone is a fan of history, I will start from when the country gained independence which I know is not a new thing to most people, and formulate histories about the past governments and how were in the olden days even when I know I wasn't part of the generation, I will give history on how Obafemi Awolowo ruled in Nigeria and the likes of Major Sani Abacha, I will not stop telling stories until I see that it makes them uncomfortable.

In a situation of being kidnapped, the kidnappers will not have a settled mind to listen to all the rubbish I will be vomiting, my noise will be unpleasant to them and will not allow them to concentrate, one major skill I have and I know I have it is talking louder, it is always as if I have a megaphone inside me, I do not know how to talk in a lower voice when it comes to a matter like this with my stammer initiated voice.

This is my entry for this week's episode of hivelearners community prompt of #hl-w109e1 which the topic is "WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP TALKING"

Hahahaha. That stammering makes lot of sense. Imagine you are being asked a simple question and it takes eternity to provide an answer. That would automatically make them feel it a waste of time trying to keep you because before they can get vital information it will take them years. Hahaha. I enjoyed this 😊.

That is the tactic, and I believe they will deport me back

I love this strategy, stammering and singing are good strategies because they are distracting and annoying for them to even free the victim. Most importantly, never keep silent. Thanks for this post.

I would have the same idea about irritating them, it would definitely be effective. It would be an interesting way to divert some of their attention. I liked the ideas, some of which I wouldn't have imagined haha.

I think singing and talking is the best solution, especially if you do as if you are a stammerer to irritates them, It would definitely be useful.

As for me, I dislike to listen to movie review.
It can never interest me for anyday because how are you going to be pronouncing all those names??
So if I'm the kidnapper and you start, I will get my gun ready😎

I love your plan. Stammering will surely irritate them to a great extent. But then, if you turn yourself to a talkative or historian in the custody of hot tempered kidnappers, you might not find it funny 🤣.

😂 Let's hope the kidnappers don't get frustrated to the point where they end up tying your mouth or taping it shut. The stammering is a good idea though.
