A young man lost his mother last Friday. On Monday, he went to his neighborhood to get his wife and daughter.

He drove up a slope and on his way down, his brake failed, the car then ran into a woman in her shop.

Angry mob arrived and they beat him so badly that he lost an eye.
This guy and his late mom grew up in the neighborhood, he is well known, but that didn’t stop the people at Sabo’s Jungle Justice because someone said the woman had died.

They broke his car windshield, dragged his wife on the floor and threatened to kill him.
They didn’t care for the woman who was injured, they left her on the floor right there as the others attacked the driver. They hit him countless times in the head and on the left eye with planks that blood began to gush out of the eye.
If not for timely police intervention, he would have been extrajudicially killed at the spot. They got him and his wife to safety, but he was detained, even as he was in a very bad condition.

His daughter (2-4years old) was right there as the mob descended on her parents.
As soon as I got the call, I went to the police station to see the guy and from there to the hospital to check the woman’s condition.

The doctor told me the woman is alive and stable, she suffered a deep wound but there was no fracture.
I have more to say on this, but I wont add more until after my meeting with the community leaders this morning.
His phones are missing, his var key can’t be found, I told someone yesterday that the eye specialist told me that there’s zero chance that the guy will see with the eye again, the boy said, “Nothing is wrong with this eye, he will be fine”.

I asked, have you been blind before?

Mbappe knows the greatest of all time, if he ever had the chance to play with him, he won’t turn it down and throw tantrums.

2. Without him, PSG don’t look so unbeatable anymore, their front line will lose a chunk of pace.
3. Mbappe knows he is his own chance of winning the UCL, he is not like some players who will send text messages begging Neymar to come back so they can win the UCL. You know the players who promise and fail, as they ghost in the latter stages of the UCL KO phase.
4. Staying for longer means he’d sigh a 5-6 year contract, which means his career most likely end at PSG.

Mbappe is not stupid like some players like Harry Kane and another I don’t want to mention who would sign a contract extension because of money and end up tied.

They shared iphone 12pro max and IPads at a Nigerian wedding recently.

Nigeria really progressed under Buhari.

6 years ago, Our integrity messiah couldn’t afford a presidential campaign ticket because there was no money on grand.

6 years of growth📈
Adieu mama Hajiya Fati Koko.

We won’t forget you donated your life savings of N1,000,000 to the Buhari campaign. That moment of selflessness ushered us into this period of so much winnings, so much that we can use N650,000 phones and $600 ipads as souvenirs in a wedding.
Mr Suleiman Hashimu

We will never forget your 750km walk to usher in this new era.

We are proud of you. Even though dailypost posted that you regretted the trek, we still see you as one of our heroes. ImageImage

Jealousy? Bad Belle? That’s not entirely true.

“Araba” was borne out of anger and a charge for violent revenge.

There was jubilation right after the Jan 66 coup, but a moment of damning realization of the sectional composition of the Jan 66 plotters changed everything. 1/
Agunyi Ironsi contributed a lot to his own downfall too.

A bit of history:

During the 1954 constitution conference in London, Obafemi Awolowo (AG party) tabled a motion to the effect that a right of secession (secession clause) should be enshrined into the constitution of the emerging Nigerian nation to allow any part of the... 1/
..emergent nation to opt out of Nigeria, should the need arise.

The NCNC through Nnamdi Azikiwe vehemently rejected the motion saying that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual.

That is, “Nigeria’s unity is non-negotiable”.

The expression— “The indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation” popped out from there. They also went further by saying to Secede from the Newly Formed Nigeria would amount to Treason.

Due to sustained opposition from NCNC and NPC, Awolowo and the AG were forced..
