Orem, Utah – E don happen again, my padi! Influential right-wing political activist and podcaster, Charlie Kirk, don meet wetin dem dey call ‘early exit’ after dem shoot am during event wey e dey handle for Utah Valley University. Na severe wah dis o! This kain thing wey fit make anybody reason sometimes say, ‘E be like say di world don turn upside down.’ But make I break am down for una.
Na Wednesday, for afternoon, as Kirk dey answer question wey one student ask am about mass shooting, the koko man get gunshot wey hit am for neck. As dem rush am go hospital, e no survive am. Like say dem no sabi say college no suppose be for killing. This matter don scatter everywhere, as everybody dey ask who be di person wey fit do dis kind thing.
The FBI don launch manhunt, collect evidence, take photo of wetin dem call ‘person of interest’ wey dem believe fit get connection to di shooting. Na young guy wey dey wear jeans, black sweatshirt with American flag, sneakers, and cap wey dem catch for camera. Wetin happen for campus wey dey usually be safe, now turn crime scene, e no just make sense.
Omo, even JD Vance, di vice president, don gree go meet Kirk’s family before di casket enter Air Force Two wey go carry am go back Arizona. Na wah. All these things collect as family dey mourn dem loss. Na so life be, sometimes be like movie wey no wan end well.
As for di fundraising campaign wey don raise over $500,000 for Kirk’s family, e be like say people really show love. Bill Ackman join for di matter as him drop $18,000 for di campaign. Everybody dey come together, talk say dem for some time, nobody dey talk for di matter of gun control, and we just dey see people wey pain, frustration wey dey increase. Charlie Kirk represent something for dem, even if you no agree with everything wey him talk. Na him dey push di boundaries for discourse, dey challenge ideologies and all dat palava.
Now, di bigger question wey we go fit ask na this: How di heck did we reach dis level? Monuments don dey breakdown, emotions dey fly left and right, friends dey shoot friend, and political divide dey crush. E mean say we for fit respect opinions without going extreme, abi? Wetin Kirk dey try achieve, no suppose end like dis.
Na true talk be say life suppose dey valuable, but di way things dey go now, e be like nobody wan engage without di fear of wahala. Everybody dey talk about peace, na wetin Trump talk when e urge supporters say make dem no respond with violence. We all just wan have fun, debate di tough issues, and enjoy di freedom without wahala like dis.
Life dey too short make we dey locked for fear and chaos. So, my padi, wetin you think we suppose do now? Na we go fit find solution, come together one way or di other or we go dey based on di divide? Dis na di true call for us to wake up, and dem no go fit silence our voice forever.
