Mr. Speaker, we need to adress certain things ;
The Nigerian Youth, The Social Media, The Social Influencers, All of these are making the narrative that we are seeing today, except we are joking with ourselves.
Social media is good but it has Negative impacts.
Let me thank you for condeming the killings and carnage that happened at Lekki. When i went through the comments i could not believe it Mr. Speaker, the curses, the abuses from children and i ask myslef, is this Nigeria ? What is going on?
Children cursing, people having the effontery to enter an Oba’s palace, hold the staff of office ? Culture is gone. Mr. Speaker, in the next 5 years, there will be no Nigeria if we don’t act now.
The youth is not only those who do the peaceful protest, those who have looted and destroyed lives are youths as well.

Go to the elections, if you are tired come and enter government. People are dying. The narrative must change.

We need pervasive broadband data infrastructure because at the landing point in Lagos, where we have all the submarine cables.

“He has changed and that is why took my stand based on such change. Besides he had started announcing to people wedding was off even before I approached Multichoice. All I did was to help him make it official.
“He has shown me the way he loves me and l am grateful but I won’t and no longer would like to be treated in such manner, let him go and treat whichever lady like that, more than how can someone you love do that to you? And that is just out of the many things I had to endure.
“I need a real man to love me genuinely, more than that is not just even about me but Jeremy. I cannot make my son go thru half of what i have gone thru, naaaaaaaa. In this lite I have been thru a lot to continue going thru what l went thru would mean I don’t love myself or my son to give him someone that would be a great model to him and not one that is flippant at every slight provocation, behaving like a woman and wants to show me he is a man in a wrong way.
“It is out of respect I decline and step out for another to step in and be with him and give him all that he wants and more but as for me, naaaaaa, Kachi is too good for me, I don’t deserve him, I pray he gets one that would dance to every of his tunes, love that, kachi has spoilt my name publicly, and demands.
“I won’t do that, I am a simple girl that only desires for a man to love me and not love in their definition but to be passionate about me, when you talk he says what about him, is always about him, him, naaaaaa and more than that, Iowe it to Jeremy to give him a great model that Would raise him in the fear of God.
“Mind you fear of God is not been born again or knowing the things of God, NO, fear of God is reverence for God…that because I fear and honour God there are certain things I cannot just do normally to a fellow man.”

The kitchen and bathroom are narrow, that movement will be restricted.
“Lagos is testing my mental health tbh. When I’m not a prisoner,” the Twitter user captioned photos of the accommodation.

A man was captured on camera drinking and driving before he crashed his car, killing three fellow passengers, including his girlfriend.
The rather reckless situation was livestreamed on Facebook to 47-year-old Camilo Morejon’s profile as the man drove through Jersey Village in northwest Houston, Texas early on Sunday morning, October 25.
Before the crash, Mr. Morejon can be seen drinking from a bottle of what appears to be beer while bragging, ‘I drive better when I drink.’ His girlfriend is also seen drinking in the Facebook Live video
Shortly after the video ends, Morejon’s car, a silver Honda rammed into a pickup truck killing the three other occupants of his own car and leaving the pickup driver fighting for his life.
The Harris County District Attorney has charged Morejon with three counts of intoxication manslaughter and one count of intoxication assault.
Harris County prosecutor, Sean Teare said the Facebook live video showed him being behind the wheel and drinking beer.
‘It’s very rare that we see actions of the defendant that close in time to a horrific crash like that but it’s what happens, it’s what goes on moments before lives are lost,’ Teare said.
‘We’ve had four crashes in 24 hours that will contribute to seven deaths possibly, all of which are going to be charged,’ Teare said.
Investigators say they are also looking at a number of bars that may have sold alcohol to Morejon to see if they might have possibly played a role in the crash.
‘We believe there are probably three or four bars that are around the area we believe they were and we are in the process today of going to those locations determining which ones were contributing factors to this crash,’ Teare said.
The dead passengers have been identified as his girlfriend Leosveyka Gonzalez, Pedro Martinez and Massel Rodriguez.
Morejon is also currently in serious condition in the hospital along with the driver of the pickup, Ricardo Rodriguez-Tamayo. If convicted of the charges he faces, he could be jailed for up to 80 years according to Click2Houston.

I echo the declaration of the people in Nigeria to END POLICE BRUTALITY and the call for their lives to be valued by the leaders of their nation. Last week, the world saw this call answered with the wounding and murders of Nigerians in Lekki.
I so badly want the end of this kind of violence and abuse of authority for Nigeria, for my own country, Kenya, and for the country I live in now, USA.
It seems that this is the resounding battle cry of 2020 across the globe, to have police powers reevaluated, their organizations held accountable and systems rebuilt to serve the people. I support the fight against political interests that have no interest in the rights of the people.
