As Lagos dey shine under morning sun, early morning no fit prepare us for wetin go happen…
Dem protest wey start as small gathering don turn to serious wahala as people dey march towards Lagos State House of Assembly for Alausa. Na dem urban renewal policy wey dey scatter people place wey dey vex many. People don gather with everybody wey don suffer lost, and na so dem begin chant with fire for their belle.
One guy, wey dey sell puff-puff for under bridge, no even recover from the state of shock as him see wetin happen. Dem carry white coffin go show, wey get pictures of people wey dem say don die because of demolitions. As I ask one young man wetin that coffin mean, him just talk am straight: na for their homes and for dem wey don lost their life because of say dem pull down their house.
