Sign The Petition is trending because Nigeria has happened to a senior tech founder.
Adetunji “Teejay” Opayele the co-founder of Bumpa, was klled by a Lagos rich kid, Biola Adams driving on one way.
Apparently, on March 4th, Teejay, was biking his way home from the gym at VI. When a car came out of no where and smashed him into unconsciousness.
Turns out, he was in his right of way, but the car was driven by a Lagos rich kid, Biola Adams-Odutayo, who works for one of the biggest health insurance firms in Nigeria.
Tragically, when she hit him. She tried to flee the scene. But people gathered ensuring she couldn’t.
With Teejay lying in critical condition, drenched in his own blood. Biola refused to step out of the car to assess the damage. Or even render any help.
She sat in the car, pressing her phone and making calls. When her friends finally responded to the crowd asking her to take him to the hospital, they said;
“Biola cannot take him, because she doesn’t want blood stains in her car”.
The good people around, tried to help. As no car was willing to stop. They got an uber, took him to nearby clinics, he was rejected. Meanwhile, Biola Adams already contacted a tow truck to tow her car.
Note: she was moving in a convoy of two cars, he driver drove one behind, while she led.
So, as TJ was rejected. They had to return to the accident scene, use a Korope, and forced Biola to enter the bus, so that the hospitals will admit him. — this was after nearly 1hr.
What they finally got to a hospital, Teejay was declared dead.
Again, Biola tried to flee. They later got her arrested. But as they did, she kept boasting that nothing will happen to her because her family has connections. — And she was right.
After the arrest. She was released almost immediately. And then charged for “Traffic Violations”. Instead of Manslaughter. The police totally swept away the accident.
They took her to court for “traffic offense” and that same day the court granted her bail of 1M, she paid that same day, and has returned back to her life.
Now, the family of Teejay, doubt she’s still in the country. They want proper Justice done. And have called on all Nigerians to lend a voice. Because a bright talent has been wasted.
Teejay secured $4M international funding for Bumpa, he initially founded HostCabal, and worked in premium companies both in US and Nigeria.
Friends and family are demanding for justice for Teejay.

I feel nothing but sympathy for some of those who kept silent while the gender wars raged around them. I’ve had literally thousands of emails on this subject and some of the most desperate have been from people who risk their livelihoods and face persecution and harassment if they speak up.
That said, I have zero sympathy for academics who did nothing to prevent illiberal and authoritarian activism stifling debate, freedom of speech and academic enquiry at their place of work. Defending those values is fundamental to academic life and you didn’t just fall short, you disgraced yourselves. Your inaction and cowardice enabled a campaign of persecution against one of your own that shamed @SussexUni.
There are times in life where we are confronted by clear moral choices, when there is no middle route. Either you stand up for freedom of speech and belief - yes, even up to the point of causing offence - or you bow down to a totalitarian culture that relies on intimidation and threats to sustain itself.
It’s deeply depressing to think that a university requires a punitive fine to make it wake up to the fact that it’s abandoned basic liberal values, but the OfS has at last drawn a much needed line in the sand. I wouldn’t bet against more monster fines to come, though. The University of Sussex is far from the only institute of learning where a culture of fear has been allowed to flourish.
To the DG, Coordinators and every official of the NYSC!!!
You cannot threaten, intimidate or victimize any corper for expressing their view on the performance of the president.
They are citizens with rights!
The president is in office to serve the people and every Nigerian, Corper or not has the right to hold their Leaders accountable!!!
Eight Catholic schools were shut down in Katsina for Ramadan and this has affected the learning of over 2,500 Christian students.
Bishop Gerald Musa noted this as he raised concern of this violation of the rights of Christians pupils to education in the state.
But this is not the most concerning issue. Islamists and Muslim militants in the Northern region are killing Christians.
Earlier this week at the House Foreign Committee on Africa, a congressional hearing was held about the persecution of Christians by Islamists in Nigeria.
They are killing, kidnapping, raping, stealing lands and renaming villages over there, Bishop Wilfred Anagbe noted.
The agenda is to exterminate the Christian population and make the nation and Islamic one.
Bishop Wilfred Anagbe, a Makurdi Claretian missionary, noted this at the hearing,
“The experience of the Nigerian Christians today can be summed up as that of a Church under Islamist extermination.
It is frightening to live there.”
He also continued,
“Apart from the violent campaigns and attacks against Christian villages, there are now attempts by the Islamic Council of Nigeria and various Islamic groups to impose sharia [Islamic] law on the Christian populations.”
This is the reality of Christians in Nigeria.
In the last decade, 145 Catholic Bishops have been kidnapped, 11 killed and four still missing.
Nigeria is the most dangerous place to live as a Christian.
Around 90% of all persecuted Christians are Nigerians.
Yesterday, a known Fulani Christian who preaches in the North had to run for his life because they wanted to assassinate him.
Why are we saying this? First, to let you know that Christians in Nigeria are persecuted. You are in potential danger for your faith.
Secondly, to alert our Southern church leaders to take action.
They are not doing anything visibly on public record in recent times about this spate of bloodshed.
CAN released a statement for Godswill Akpabio during the sexual harassment saga but we don’t think they released one for the priest killed on Ash Wednesday.
We might be wrong, but we didn’t see one.
Lastly, the only defense our Northern brethren have is the church.
The government gives the Muslim militants impunity, according to Bishop Wilfred.
He said when they call the police and the army, they don’t respond.
Let the church in the south stand up for the church in north.
Let’s not be at ease. The same Hamaan determined to kill the Israelites in the country will kill the ones in the Citadel.
Let Esther not think she’s untouchable.
Catholic seminarian Andrew Peter, who was recently kidnapped along with a priest in Nigeria by gunmen, has been murdered.
The United States must take action to protect the lives of innocent Christians in Nigeria.
Info: Diocese of Auchi
Nigeria: Free Sunday Jackson.
Sunday is a Christian farmer who was violently attacked by an armed Fulani.
Fulani Muslims have murdered hundreds – maybe thousands – of Christian farmers in Nigeria, but Sunday defended himself.
Sunday has now been sentenced to death by hanging for his act of self-defense.
This is unjust.
Nigerian Christians must be able to defend themselves.
Every Muslim in Congress is proving why it’s a bad idea to allow Muslims to serve in Congress.
Why are Muslims allowed to serve in Congress when they always side with Islamic jihadists over the interests of the US? Has there ever been a Muslim member of Congress who has openly condemned HAMAS and Islamic terrorism!?!
Both Ilhan Omar & Rashida support HAMAS.
I was in the mosque when a northern Governor died in a helicopter crash in 2012. Instead of silence, there was celebration. Grown men in a house of worship raised their hands in gratitude, saying *Alhamdulillah* because a kafir (non-Muslim) had died. His only crime? Being a Christian.
What kind of heart rejoices over death? The Prophet stood for a Jewish funeral, yet here we are, praising God for someone’s tragedy. If your Islam makes you hate, if it strips you of mercy, then what exactly are you worshipping? God or your own arrogance?
This poison has turned us into monsters in the name of faith. If we do not wake up, it will consume us all.
So if I protect myself from a Fulani bandit by killing him I will be sentenced to death by Nigerian Supreme Court? So I am only supposed to disarm the attacker then run away? If I die in the process the case won’t reach Supreme Court right?
Nnamdi Kanu was right it’s a ZOO.

A Caucasian pastor had to come to Nigeria to speak for Christians in a country where we have "God's generals," "Papas," and those who "eat and drink with God."
Again, the Nigerian dream is to just be an elite. We are all guilty
There's no love in us!!!
Bangladesh is being overrun by Islamists attacking non muslims, and the world stays silent.
Syria is overrun by Islamists slaughtering minorities, and the world stays silent.
Yemen is overrun by Islamists starving and killing thousands, and the world stays silent.
Sudan and murder is and Congo and North Africa is overrun by Islamists massacring Christians and other minorities, and the world stays silent.
Turkey is massacring Kurds and occupying yours for decades, and the world stays silent.
The Islamists of Hamas are killing their own people and stealing all the aid, and the world stays silent.
Islamists are overrunning Western Europe and raping and stabbing and crashing cars into the indigenous Europeans, and the world and their own European governments stay silent.
Do you notice a pattern?
But go on… blame it on the Joooos🙄
Complaining that the video is too long fit dey valid oo but if you’re in Nigeria or have any relative in Nigeria, this is for you.
Lemme break it down for you.
• The beginning: a young guy named Olatunji Jimoh was arrested for an alleged debt in Kwara state.
A thread 🧵
This photo shows a village in Syria that was completely massacred.
When Israel defends itself, outrage erupts. But when entire Syrian villages are erased, the world stays silent.
It's an absolute scandal that in every Catholic, indeed Christian Church, in this land and throughout Christendom there was no organised highlighting of the massacre of Christian and other minorities in #Syria today. It is a betrayal of all things Holy. It is a betrayal of Christ
I can't wait for Donald Trump to deport or arrest those fuckers once and for all.
The "Free Palestine" movement is the most anti-American movement in history. They make me sick.
