A man has gone online to allege that the targeted electoral violence that took place in Lagos State is already having an impact on intertribal ties.
He claimed that after her parents called off the marriage plans with her lover, which she had been excitedly expecting, an Igbo female acquaintance sobbed vehemently on the phone to him.
Iyke Nwabuko, the narrator, claims that her family forbade the guy from attending in exchange for the previously agreed-upon introductory rights.
He claimed that the upset woman was crying over the information as though a loved one had died in a horrible accident.
He wrote; “This Lagos violence is something o, an igbo girl was crying on phone that her parents are saying they don’t want to see the Yoruba guy that was supose to come visiting, for the traditional knocking ceremony.
Babe has cried her eyes out. wahala de o! Babe de cry like person wey lose person for accident o”
