Nigerian twitter users respond to Oba of Lagos with hilarious Lagoon tags & tweets

Nigerians have no respect, trolling the Oba of Lagos...lol. A lot of people had an opinion about the Oba's comments yesterday and some of them were hilarious. Check out the tweets & memes used to show defiance, mockery to the threats made by the traditional head yesterday. More after the cut...

What the media personality shared on instagram this morning concerning tribal differences...

'There is so much to say on this topic, it is heartbreaking but real. Tribalism has been and is still been practiced today. Lagos is home for everyone, our generation knows better too. Let's not let this come in between us, the OBA's statement was ignorant but do we really blame him? We all at some point in our lives have been on the receiving end of acts of tribalism. Let's take out the tension and be real with each-other. Our parents generation practiced tribalism openly and they were not corrected. In some homes befriending people from other tribes was frowned on, marrying from another tribe is still being frowned on today, tribalism even from people of the same tribe is real too. What we need is to educate and not instigate. I had Igbo friends growing up, I was the only Yoruba girl in the midst of Igbo girls. Did they make fun of me? Sometimes but it wasn't out of malice. We lived, we loved and we are still very close. I have had a friend's mum tell me "haaa omo ondo ni e? Mi o mo ooo, a kin ba ondo sore" meaning - I'm from Ondo? She didn't know.... If she had, she won't let her daughter befriend me cos they don't like Ondo people, Ondo and Ijebu don't mix... I was shocked. She went ahead and said "You Ondo people are wicked".

My friend is from Ijebu ooooo, we are both Yoruba girls and that statement was made by her mum. We are still friends today and her mum got over it. Please educate people around you. Vote who you want, vote your conscience but please stop with the tribalism comments. Our beauty is in our diversity. It is a distraction, don't fall for it. Let's all live as one.'

The General overseer of a Pentecostal church in Akwa Ibom state identified as Pastor John and his wife, Deborah pictured above have been arrested by the Akwa Ibom state police command for allegedly kidnapping a new born baby with the intent of selling him to a child trafficking syndicate at Nung Ukot Itam, Itu LGA of the state for N300,000.

According to Sunnews, the couple would adopt little babies in the guise that they want to raise them and then they would sell the children to their child trafficking syndicate.

Confessing to the crime, Pastor John said “We have the mission to train children nd suddenly we changed our mind, when my wife and I ventured into selling of a new baby for N200,000.00 or N300,000.00 since we have a syndicate who could sell it for us’’he said.

The police say he will soon be charged to court.

In a related development, the state police have arrested one lady simply identified as Sabbath for selling her 5 day old baby for N90, 000. Sabbath gave birth to a set of twins and decided to sell one of them, blaming it on poverty.

When interrogated, she said ‘It was poverty that led me into this mess. It is true that I sold one of my twins for N90,000.00 to Mr Akpanam and Mr Samuel to be able to train the other baby. My husband’s family should forgive me for what I have done, it was poverty that led me into this’ she said.

Little Jack has reportedly survived a stroke and fought through four open heart surgeries...and he's still opening his beautiful eyes and looking at people, still fighting for survival every step of the way. His picture has been trending since yesterday. God be with him.

Airport cleaner, Josephine Agwu says she didn't receive N12million from TREM church last Sunday when she was hosted by the Presiding Bishop and general overseer of the church, Dr Mike Okonkwo.

"I was at TREM for the Easter service but it is not true they gave me N12 million. I got a call from TREM asking me to come for their service. It is a lie that I was given N12m. I did not even see the report" she told Encomium magazine.

But she refused to say how much was given to her, only saying that of all that was offered to her, prayer was the most important to her "Prayer matters most. That is the most important thing to me. Any other thing might follow. That prayer is the most important" she said

All roads leading into Ekiti state have been blocked this morning by those loyal to Governor Fayose following strong rumours that the APC members of the state House of Assembly were planning to hold a sitting this morning to begin impeachment proceedings against Fayose.

Many loyalists also took over the roads leading to the state Assembly complex with police men and DSS keeping watch. More photos after the cut...
