As the #endbadgovernment movements began across the country on August 1, 2024, there have been reports of confrontations between law enforcement and local troublemakers in various states, including Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Borno, and others.

In Abuja, a small group of protesters at Eagles Square were subjected to teargas by the police, despite the approved venue being the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. According to The Nation, police attempted to disperse the protesters by firing tear gas canisters into the air. However, the resolute protesters continued their march.

Protesters at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos State were also dispersed using tear gas canisters. The reports of tear gas usage triggered widespread reactions and outrage on social media.

Actress Iyabo Ojo took to Instagram on August 1, 2024, to denounce the actions. In a series of posts showcasing the violence, she called on President Tinubu and the police to permit the protesters to proceed peacefully.

In one post, she wrote, “Why are they using teargas? 🤷‍♀️@nigeriapoliceforce #peacefulprotest is their right.

“@officialasiwajubat, please, sir, kindly instruct your officers to exercise caution. Allow a peaceful protest. Thank you. #peacefulprotest is their right,” she wrote, appealing to President Tinubu.

In another post, she said, “But why? It’s a #peacefulprotest for goodness’ sake & it’s their right.”

Bobrisky took to Instagram to condemn the harsh comments targeting Diddy’s family, particularly his children, for standing by their father.

“Why are some people insulting Diddy’s children because their father was arrested? I don’t care what my dad or friend might have done, I’m gonna stay beside him and will never be ashamed. Blood is thicker than water,” Bobrisky captioned.

Why I dropped out of LASU in my final year — Singer Oxlade

Nigerian singer Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, better known as Oxlade, has disclosed why he dropped out of Lagos State University (LASU) in his final year.

Speaking in a recent podcast, he said: “I dropped out of the university in my final year because it was a cr@zy time.

There were some gangs after me because I’m a fine boy. Being a fine boy makes you a target. It’s either you join them or they o** you. So I had to leave that environment.

I went to Lagos State University (LASU). Go and read about the school. Now, they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realized how fragile life is and how important it is to pursue your dreams, so they’ve cracked down on that kind of behavior. Now everyone is chasing money, but at that time, it was a hot period.

After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn’t tell my family why I dropped out. They wouldn’t understand; they would just think I was making excuses.

So I couldn’t go back. It felt like I let my family and my grandma down. The crazi€st part was that when my grandma finally saw me, she was so calm about it. All that pressure I put on myself was just in my head.”
