The recent bloodshed at the catholic church at Owo, Ondo state by terrorists further shows how insecure we all are as an individual in Nigeria.
It’s obvious all the military personnel and even the local vigilantes are not enough to protect lives and properties in this country.
After watching the videos of how people were killed at Owo town without help, coupled with all the cases of insecurities being recorded in the country without actions from the government, maybe it’s high time the government started licensing guns for civilians so we can protect ourselves.
At least, even if terror or attack comes, one would be able to defend him/herself before the so-called military or the police arrived, even if one goes down you will know you go down fighting.
I don’t think Nigeria has ever been this bad at security. I remember vividly when this government came in, they promised to protect lives and properties than the previous government but now they seem to care less instead all they do is condemn attacks without taking action.
It may not be you today but the way it is now, Nigeria can happen to anybody at any time so we need to watch out for ourselves.
What do you think guys,
With All The Recents Insecurity Cases Happening In Nigeria, Do You Think Guns Should Be Licensed For Civilians?
A video showing Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo in company with some of his aides buying pop corn amidst laughter and cheers from onlookers is trending.
A section of Nigerians have noted that the vice president pulled the stunt in reaction to comments credited to Senator Kashim Shettima, the coordinator of the campaign team of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ahead of the All Progressives Congress presidential primary scheduled to hold in Abuja.
Shettima had while appearing on a Channels Television programe, Politics Today, said Tinubu is the best person for the plum job.
When he was asked about Osinbajo’s chances of clinching the APC presidential ticket, he answered, “the VP? Osinbajo is a good man, he is a nice man, but nice men don’t make good leaders, recognized men tend to be nasty.
“Nice men should be selling pop corn, ice cream and bologna but he is a very decent person and I can’t doubt that and he’s my personal friend and I would rather not comment on his person but he’s a decent man. That I can tell you.”
Verification
Checks by Daily Trust revealed that the video is an old one being re-circulated. The video was shot at Genesis cinema in 2018.
At about 8:43 pm on the 21st of December, 2018, Prof. Osinbajo had tweeted that he was at Genesis Cinema where he wanted to watch Nollywood’s most recent highest grossing movie, Chief Daddy, with youths that evening.
In the tweet (accompanied with the video) made via his verified Twitter handle, @ProfOsinbajo, the vice president could be seen sharing jokes and popcorn with excited youths.
Conclusion
Relying on the content of the VP’s tweet back in 2018, Daily Trust can authoritatively confirm that the viral video in circulation and the accompanying narrative is a deliberate attempt to mislead the general public.
The video is not a new one and should be disregarded.
Last week, we had quite an impressive lineup of artists delivering new releases.
Simi’s long-anticipated fourth studio album, “TBH (To Be Honest)” is the latest project that is the talk of the town.
Naira Marley also came through with his debut album, “God’s Timing’s The Best” which has since garnered a whopping 81 million streams on the AudioMack platform.
However, Simi and Naira Marley are not the only artists who came through for us during the course of last week. We also had songs from other artists like Niniola, 1da Banton, and more.
As the new week begins, here are 5 songs from last week that we think you should listen to
1. Naira Marley — Melanin ft. Lil Kesh
Off his recently released debut, “Melanin” is that ultimate Naira Marley and Lil Kesh.
A love number about a low-key dark-skinned girl who the guys want to die for.
Besides being one of the best songs on the album, “Melanin” also goes a long way to show us just how good Lil Kesh has become.
That song is basically a Lil Kesh song; he took over it and it wouldn’t have worked without him.
2. Naira Marley — Montego Bay
Another one from “God’s Timing’s The Best,” this is one of those conscious Naira Marley vibes that you just can’t get over.
“Me I have God, I never panic,” he rapped on the second verse of the afro hip-hop track. There’s something that no one can do better than Naira Marley and this is one of them.
3. Simi — Loyal ft. Fave
This is the fourth track from “TBH (To Be Honest)” and it features the Rookie of the Year, “Baby Riddim” crooner, Fave.
“Loyal” is a very good song with meaningful and quite sensible lyrics, so you’re bound to enjoy this one for sure. The album is quite good too, to be honest.
It’s been a while since Jamopyper was one of the most promising guys in the industry. In 2020, he was really something.
But let’s not be quick to forget that he’s actually not a fluke and he has a lot of talent. The things he could actually do if he’s consistent with the jams yo.
He released “Tease Me” last week and it’s a real bop. It’s got mad amapiano vibes and everything should put this one on their playlist for sure!
Well, I guess we can say the best rapper in Africa is back. With “Go Home,” Blaqbonez is setting the tone and bringing back the conversation about how he’s one of the best rappers in the game right now.
“Go Home” is in tune with the times and is pure drill. He came with all of his lyrical capabilities on this one. Can anyone really hold a candle to Blaqbonez right now?
Bang Mewsic Entertainment presents her star act, T-Classic in a new afro banger titled “Desire“.
The 17-year-old singer/songwriter displays his eccentric music style on the dance-inspired cut, not only captivating but also capturing the heart of his listeners.
“Desire” premieres well in anticipation of the video of his previously released single Don’t Leave Me from a few months ago.
