Flying Toke Makinwa and over 1,400 useless delegates to Dubai was apparently affordable.
But sponsoring a few of Nigeria's brightest minds to China to represent the country at an international mathematics competition was not.💔
Fvcking retards!

Hate him or Love him, Mr Bayo Onanuga gives you an unfiltered access to the mind of the President.
He’s one man you can truly say speaks for the President. He mirrors Tinubu’s lack of empathy and concern towards the suffering masses. Just like his boss, he’s completely disconnected from the harsh realities citizens face everyday as a result of their actions.
This is so sad 💔💔
DNA test results have conclusively identified a previously unidentified body at the Ikorodu General Hospital mortuary as that of Pelumi Emmanuel Onifade, the 20-year-old journalist k!!lled while covering the #EndSARS protests in October 2020.
Onifade, an intern reporter with Lagos-based Gboah TV and a 200-level History student at Tai Solarin University of Education, was on assignment in the Abule Egba/Agege area on October 24, 2020.
While covering the protests, he filmed a video that captured the President of the Yoruba Youth Forum, Olusegun Abiodun Bolarinwa, shooting into a crowd of unarmed protesters. The footage quickly went viral, sparking widespread outrage.
Shortly after, Onifade was reportedly shot and arrested by officers attached to the Lagos State Task Force. His body was later found at the Ikorodu mortuary, tagged as No. 1385, but remained unidentified for years due to forensic challenges, including the destruction of DNA samples at the state's forensic centre during the protests.
Recent DNA matching between samples from the body and Onifade's parents, conducted by the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, has now confirmed his identity in the ongoing coroner's inquest.
Onifade's viral video documented a critical moment during the #EndSARS demonstrations against police brutality. Eyewitness accounts indicate that after the footage surfaced, he and a colleague were targeted.
His family searched for him for days before locating what they believed to be his remains at the mortuary, where a gunshot wound was observed.
Tragic News 💔
DNA test results have confirmed that the unidentified body deposited at an Ikorodu mortuäry was that of Pelumi Onifade.
- In 2020, Nigerian youths took to the streets during the #EndSARS protests. One of the reporters covering the event was Onifade Emmanuel Pelumi.
- On October 24, 2020, Pelumi was arrested and taken away by police officers in Agege despite explaining that he was a reporter. He was also wearing a jacket identifying him as a member of the press.
- A few days later, an unidentified body was discovered at a môrtuary in Ikorodu, Lagos, and it was speculated that the body belonged to Pelumi Onifade.
- In July 2024, the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the Lagos State Government to conduct a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of Pelumi’s death and identify those responsible.
- The court also ordered the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) to perform a post-mortem examination on the unidentified body received from Ikorodu.
- LASUTH stated that Pelumi’s body could not initially be identified because DNA samples held at the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre were dëstroyed during the October 2020 #EndSARS unrest.
- After prolonged back-and-forth between the hospital and the court, a DNA test was eventually conducted using a sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- The magistrate revealed that the report confirmed a DNA match between the previously unidentified body and the sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- This development brings a painful confirmation for Pelumi’s family and loved ones, who have endured years of uncertainty while seeking answers and closure.
- Their counsel is now calling for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of Pelumi’s de@th.
- The case has been adjourned until July 7, 2026.
May the soul of the departed rest in peace. 💔
