They shot me twice.

gIlmario Vemba was the main interviewer of Daniel Oliveira on the program “Alta Divination” of the SIC channel, which was broadcast on Saturday. The 20 most traumatic experiences in childhood, that is, when her house was robbed in the middle of the night.

“Maybe people thought we were making our lives better. My father got a new job, his father retired and took over his father’s place at the National Bank of Angola and he was a driver there, which meant changing cars every day. They earn better, we started to improve the conditions at home and people thought there money here,” he recalls.

The comedian explains that there was a knock on the door at dawn and that he was awake playing a video game. When knocking on the door [eu pergunto] ‘Who is this?’. ‘police!’. ‘police?’. I’m trying to go to the window to look. They see my shadow, my shadow, and shoot at the window,” he described, noting that the bullet was deflected by the piece of wood in front of the window.

From there, Gilmaro crawled into his parents’ room and a three-hour robbery took place.

He reveals: “They shot me twice and threatened me.”

However, one of the robbers entered through the roof and demanded that one of them open the door of the house so that the rest could enter.

“My mom is one of the greatest heroes I’ve ever seen because she’s out. (…) When the robber insists he’s going to shoot her, she fights him,” he says. Gilmario says that the door opened and that person “hit his mother in front of him.”

“My mother was traumatized by this for a long time,” he notes.

However, the guest likes to look on the bright side of life, realizing that this moment brought a turn in the family. “If I hadn’t changed neighborhoods and gone to Ilha de Luanda, I wouldn’t have met the fellows I would have been Tunisa with,” he says.
