On the 26th of September 2022, four friends were brutally murdered in Gwarimpa FCT Abuja. Blessing, Pelumi B-Rolling (with the brown cap), Gwezi( the guy in front) and Chuck boy (Not in this video). Pelumi B-Rolling was in a romantic relationship with Blessing and they were the target of this attack but unfortunately, Gwezi and Chuck boy were both at the wrong place at the wrong time hence them getting killed as well.
Pelumi had been receiving threats from cultists to leave his girlfriend Blessing maybe because one of the cultist liked her and she refused. He didn’t think too much of their threats, he told some people (His brother and Chuck boy) and they didn’t think it was something to be worried about.
Pelumi was an artiste alongside his friends so from time to time Gwezi and Chuck boy came over to his place to record. On that faithful day, they went to his studio apartment as usual and met Blessing there. A few moment later, those cultists arrived and disguised as artistes to enable them get past the security. It wasn’t suspicious as people normally came in and out of the apartment. They used cutlass to BUTC***R the bodies of the four friends one by one while they chanted a HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG to distract the neighbors so they won’t hear anything.
No one knew they had been unalived until Chuck’s pregnant wife went to file a police report looking for him cos he hadn’t picked any of his calls or responded to all the messages from her. They were able to retrace his steps to Pelumi’s apartment. On getting there, they met the most horrific scene of their lives with the bodies of the four friends scattered around and their heads bashed against the wall. The room was smelling because the bodies were already decomposing.
The police saw that the perpetrators used the blood of the victims to write on the wall that they told Pelumi to let Blessing go but he refused. Until this day, the killers are yet to be found because Pelumi’s brother never knew who kept sending the threats to Pelumi cos they never mentioned names when they were alive. The horrific sight of their dismembered bodies lives rent free in the heads of their neighbors.
May we not be in the wrong place at the wrong time like Chuck and Gwezi. May we not be unalived because of a man or a woman, take every threat seriously.
May their souls find peace.
The blend of the guitar and the trumpet is simply beautiful. @WoleOjo brings this record to a close with such a lovely riff.
Thank you all for listening to my version of Jolly Papa. 💜🦅
Since I woke up this morning, I've taken my time to go through the comments, quotes, and advice people have shared. Trust me, I'm going to take every single piece of advice seriously. However, there's one advice I will not take, and that's people telling me to stay away from politics and focus solely on my business.
I think I responded to someone's comment suggesting that we should vote for Peter Obi, and I noticed that quite a number of people dragged me for it. But honestly, why should I be told not to talk about politics and just concentrate on my business? Who do you think put me in the situation I'm currently in? Is it not the government? I shouldn't talk about politics, but politics is talking about me. Do you understand how badly government policies have affected my business and my livelihood?
I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who came through for me, but the truth is, I'm still going to bear losses. And who created the economic conditions that contributed to those losses? The government.
Let me also address those who believe I made a financial mistake by opening the shop in the first place. Yes, perhaps there were things I could have done differently, but let me give you some context. My shop is strategically located between two major universities in Port Harcourt: the University of Science and Technology (UST) and Ignatius Ajuru University. These institutions have thousands of students. Do you honestly think these students don't want cookies? Why do you think I chose that location in the first place? The idea was simple: students from both universities would make up a significant part of my customer base.
Interestingly, since this whole support campaign started, a good number of the people who have shown up to support me are students from these same universities. They have always been my target audience. But the problem is that the economy has destroyed their purchasing power. These students, who ordinarily would patronise my business, are now more concerned about paying school fees, feeding themselves, and meeting their basic needs.
And somehow, I'm being told not to talk about politics?
You're telling me to focus on my business, post my products, and leave politics alone. But why can't I do both? Why can't I promote my business and also speak about the political leadership and candidate I believe can bring about the change we desperately need? Why shouldn't I advocate for someone I believe can help change the circumstances that have made running a small business this difficult?
I was fortunate that my situation gained attention and people rallied around me. But what happens the next time? Will I have to depend on a viral post before I can make meaningful sales? Is that how a business should survive? Absolutely not.
I appreciate every single person who has supported me, advised me, encouraged me, and shown me love. I will take the business advice, learn from my mistakes, and make better decisions going forward.
But please, don't tell me to stop talking about politics. The economy is affecting my business. Government policies are affecting my customers. The political decisions being made in this country have direct consequences on my livelihood.
I cannot separate my business struggles from the politics and economic realities that contribute to them. I have every right to speak about both.
PLEASE VOTE PETER OBI!!! ✌️
Please, I've got cookies in my shop that's close to expiration so I've put them for sale at 50% discount
I've already lost two cartons to the same issue, there's been no sales
If you're in port Harcourt I'd really appreciate if you patronise me
They cost 3600 but now 1800 🙏
Dear @grok, imagine you are the best lip reader in the world world, explain what Arteta told Merino and Timber after the Salvia Praha game.
No excuses, you have got to find the answer. Take as much time as you need.
Since I was born, my mother has always said something that stuck with me, she was born in an old house and married into an old house.
So, I said to myself, One day, my mother must experience what it feels like to live in a new house.
And today, I’m proud to say that I made that dream a reality. I built this house for her.
Congratulations, Mum, You deserve every bit of this happiness.
