Woke up this morning surfing IG then I saw this. I almost ran mad. This dude Stephen was the last person to ever drag with thief. Always cool and easy going. He was in the nephrology unit in LUTH when I joined them there. I spent a month in that unit with this guy and two other House Officers (Dr Ike and Dr Damilola) they all were perfect like siblings. We would tease him when he's getting tired and asks us when ward rounds or clinic would be over. I'd be the first to lie and tell him we still have like 4-6 patients to see. His reaction was always priceless. He couldn't live without his glasses, the SR would make fun of it and we would all laugh about it. Even after leaving the unit, I'd see him and he wouldn't recognize me from a distance until he was really close because of his eye sight. I teased him about looking so tired from working last week Friday and talked about his glasses 2 days ago. He was to finish his House Job in few months. He was young, calm and collected and worked hard like many Doctors who are never appreciated because no one sees what's happening behind the scene in this damaged healthcare system. And this morning, I'm hearing he was stabbed to death by armed robbers. I left the hospital around 9:15pm yesterday and it never looked like anything dangerous would have taken place outside the hospital where he was stabbed. One thing I know is, this country is f*cked. The government is f*cked up, Security including police, SARS is f*cked up. After stealing from the innocent man, you proceed to take his life. This is f*cked up.

I pray for his family.
If you have the opportunity, leave Nigeria.
The most useless statement I keep hearing is "if you all keep running away, who will fix Nigeria?".
I don't totally regret deciding to come back but I regret every single minute I spend each day and won't hesitate to leave once I'm done.
If the government policy isn't against you, poverty stricken people are against you. People have been so damaged even a perfect government right now won't fix it.

Tomorrow is never promised to an average citizen even when you live diligently.

I saw this man. I don't even know what to say. I'm just tired. One of my Medilag smallie has been in tears since this broke out. I just wonder when we plan on being our brother's keeper. Simple commandment and God knows why he charged us with that

steady986:
I'd believe you if you showed me stats supporting your claim.

Enter Basketball Reference and update yourself. The stats are there waiting for you

RexBarkridge:
Warriors fans hate KD because he "stole" two FMVPs from their beloved steph curry. As if the warriors would win these finals without him.

Truth be told from a basketball standpoint KD has no reason to stay in Golden State after this season. If he stays it would likely be from a business standpoint. If I were him I'd call Kyrie up and we would go play for the Clippers.

The threat to Golden State is definitely not in the West

Arriving pon the thread like.

DJ Please play Club going up on a Tuesday by ILoveMakkonen. Thanks

SmooshCHN:
Wawu!!!! I didn't even think of this. Didn't he know he would get caught? Like, there's more to it. That dude had the nerve. Me I don't understand these people o. I no go lie. I don't understand how deep this gang stuff is honestly. Is it deeper than just joining a gang because ko ye mi? Killing someone over a gang issue. I swear it's not sinking in. Is it that deep?

Gang P is blood in blood out oh. It's pretty deep so if you can it's better you don't join at all.

Even for Naija if you want to renounce or anything or you have past issues with rivals just be sure that all your celebrations you secure the place with MOPOL and Sojo because na that public setting gangan them go strike.

I still want to believe it's not gang related as the man is dead and can't defend or clear his name. It would pretty unfortunate that he was wasted over nothing but intra gang warfare

SmooshCHN:
Denying black on black crime would be a stupid thing to do right now. They need to acknowledge that they have a problem in the community. It's this same gang shit.

Could it be that he was set tripping? That's the only explanation he would be offed by his own crew. Anyway make we dey watch

steady986:
He is better because his overall FG% has gone up, simple. We can go on nitpicking stats till we get tired.

No! He is not better anything, he is simply going closer to the rim. And his 3P % is still down so he has not even improved as a shooter. Try again

airmark:
Where were you when Weah from Liberia, became the first and the last African Ballon d'or winner?
I hope you won't claim popularity contest nonsense.

Lmaooooo as if George Weah would sniff Balon D'Or if he played in this era. Who would award a forward who only scored 7 league goals Balon D'Or in Villa's time? Abeg leave bullshyte for cow

AmoryBlacq:
I thought it was Ineista!

These things changes every nanosecond, so hard to keep up!

David Villa was Spain's best player at the World Cup. Where have you seen me claim Iniesta led them to it?

airmark:
Even your boss, raumdeuter, who's older than you and watched Weah destroying defences, while you were too young to understand football, would never type this nonsense.

Pele oo Arugbo ojo.

You're clearly confusing David Villa for Fernando Llorente. That's the only explanation for your weird and agbo jedi analogy

Prime Villa that led Spain to a World Cup and Euro title na him you dey downgrade?

Trophies, goals David Villa flogs George Weah hands down. Prime David Villa was a BEAST!

airmark:
So Nedved and Weah are not greater than David Villa, you are a fool.

You can't convincingly argue Nedved and Weah are greater than Villa though. David Villa was a boss

RexBarkridge:
LOL Lets not pretend as if he was some A-lister or someone with major clout. Nor is he a doctor/scientist, no one was going to take him seriously, why kill him if all that does is bring more attention to his work?

What does having to be an A-lister have to do with anything?

Is this the first time someone got clapped for saying or trying to say too much? There is evidence that he was concerned about his safety.

Why not? What good would he be alive to the folks that might want him dead? Whatever attention it brings at the very least a message has been passed

RexBarkridge:
Tupac was killed by orlando anderson (a pretty well known fact), the dude he beat up earlier who is a renowned crip enforcer and died a while later after getting into a shoot out. The crips still celebrate what orlando did to this day. Biggie was killed on Suge knights orders. People like to complicate things unnecessarily. The fact that anyone who cooperates with the cops is labelled a snitch and ostracized according to their code doesnt exactly help law enforcement do their job does it? Nipsey was a gang member who rolled with gang members and they got shot down because thats what happens to gang bangers period.

There is no conclusive proof that Orlando was the gunman. He was alive for a full 2 years after Pac died and he was never charged for anything

Again you're reaching. There is no proof Suge killed Biggie. And if he did the question then should be why was he a free man?

However way you spin it someone out there isn't doing their jobs. It's pretty common knowledge that one of the easiest ways to get away with a crime is to kill a black rapper.

He had been banging since his teenage years. How come it's when this documentary started that he felt the need to stress that his life was under any form of threat?

YulisCromwell:
As if he was the brain behind the documentary and it wont drop without him. Most times these entertainers just add their name to something to make it more appealing i guess but in truth they arent responsible for most of the content, i dont see how killing him will hinder the documentary its not like theres something only he knows about it. This isnt the first time documentaries with conspiracy theories have been made.

He was the face behind it. Let's not be pedantic! When you kill a face of a struggle does it mean a struggle ends?

Not equating Nipsey with MLK but the Civil Rights movement didn't end just because MLK got shot.

I'm not huge on conspiracy theories but those shots are not your typical drive-by shooting scenario.

YulisCromwell:
Another peeve i have about the african american community. Whenever something happens instead of looking within and trying to solve the problem they start coming up with conspiracy theories to blame the white man. I understand their history has made them insecure and granted sometimes its justified but the moment they start to realize the flaws of some aspects of their culture and take ownership of it and how to fix it the better for them. The people who knew him arent really surprised because like Roland said he was about that "life". Dr. Sebi that was a renowned snake oil salesman i mean these idiots actually believe he cured cancer and aids SMH! They also believed that said man who died of pneumonia at age 82 was killed by the government. Tupac was killed by the government, so was biggie, and Eazy e, the list goes on, its obviously not the gangster lifestyle of strutting guns around and shooting people. I mean give me a friggin break!

I agree with most of what you said above as there is not a lot I hate more than people not taking responsibility for their own fate.

However let's not act like there has not been a long history of law enforcement not turning a blind eye to the things that go down in these neighborhoods. Does it make sense to you that 2pac and Biggie's killers have not been found till this day? Pac was shot in a Vegas strip. Do you know how many people are at a Vegas strip after a Tyson fight?

Anyway let's see what comes out of this latest murder. From what I've read on Nipsey while he might have belonged to a set he was very far from a gun toting, set tripping banger. Dude had businesses and was putting in good work in his community.

FBS:
Good luck and he was at the right place at the right time. Did what he had to do to overtake uncle Vettel.


Lerlerc though, unlucky but we have seen this happen even to Lewis, the same year that "ball-less" person won the title.


Happy for Lando too. Suddenly McLaren scoring points. Nice to see.

Formula 1 is BACK!

Ham has been the biggest beneficiary of these things. Let's not even have unnecessary arguments

steady986:
And his 2P% increased from 47% to 55%. He can't eat his cake and have it bro.

Duhh. He's taking more shots at the rim and more importantly converting at a higher clip. 47% of his 2P shots came from the rim compared to 40% last year.

So basically it took him taking more shots at the rim to increase his 2P% while his 3pt shooting has gotten worse. So how has he been better with LeNomad? Especially as a 3pt shooter

Roland17:
He is not staying back, it was already established since high school and recruiting that he is staying only one season. Zion, Barrett, and Reddish are one and done, they are off to the NBA.

Makes zero sense financially for Zion to stay in College tbh. Might as well maximize his money machine now that the hype is at an all-time high, especially in a system tailored for everyone else to make money from Zion except Zion himself.

Roland17:
RIP. He lived a rough life and had too many enemies.

I didn't listen to a lot of his music. Just a few old mixtapes but he was well respected. It's a lot of rumors flying around that he was on to exposing some people in an upcoming documentary. Can't say for sure but I find it hard to believe that murder was purely gang related based on what I know about how these things work. And where it happened

Guess only time will tell

ipledge10:
Am I crazy for thinking Okc are losing on purpose...maybe they are eyeing Nuggets, so they trying to stay 7th or 8th

They don't match up well with the Nuggets. They would get beat black and blue.

YulisCromwell:
Nipsey

Dude was just having a break out year on the mainstream level. This life is so meaningless it's crazy! Heard his kid was there too. Smh

aliondo:
How you mean bro?

Are you watching the game right now? See as una dey huff and puff against the Doncic-less Mavs

There is just something about OKC and playing down to the opposition

nihilistjnr:
Don't worry bro

Starboy dey for you.

Bahahahahaha. I no just know when you go get sense walahi

Later una go say Juju no dey. How will you explain this good luck wey just dey follow Hamilton. This is unreal

Roland17:
Let me be very very clear that I am totally against rape and other forms of abuse against anyone, however, I am very careful about taking sides or making any judgment regarding rape accusations until there is substantial information out there.

Ohhhh no no. When it comes to matters like these you won't catch me accusing or taking any sides without proof and or mere word of mouth accusations

Iworiwoooo

Killrhymz:
Porzingis has been accused of rape, like they say an idle hand is the devils workshop.

Ugggggh. And I heard the Mavs were made to be aware of this before the trade. Smh

steady986:
You know, in a group of people, there's always that one person who refuses to improve no matter what. That's Bullock

Ohhhh no bruh. You can't possibly eat your cake and have it. If LeNomad is taking the glory when a player plays well by God he must also take the fall when they flop. Since you're claiming professional basketball players need him to do their basic jobs and are incapable of doing it on their own

steady986:
Lol. I admire the way you never give up in an argument. Well, here it is...his FGA dropped from 10.8 last year to 8.3, so that's a significant drop. And if you consider the fact that his FG% improved from last year, you have to say he's much better this year.

It improved from 42.6 to 43.3. Lmaooooo some improvement.

Ohhhh and by the way KCP shot 38% from 3 last year. He's only shooting 35% this year. Since we're nitpicking stats like Beans

YulisCromwell:
You dont believe in the magic vs walton rumour but you believe in the lebron vs walton rumour. Hypocrisy!


You know a coach is bad when a GM admits they werent expecting to get lebron when they signed him. That was his first time coaching in the NBA, probably there to oil the tank machine.



Theres a difference between looking up to someone and doing something just plain stupid which is what relying on a sub par agent is. Self made or not, rich paul is good at his job.


But the damage had already been done, Ingram, lonzo and bron all played fewer than 60 games this season. That plus other unforeseeable factors. The lakers didnt make the playoffs because they arent good enough, they imploded.


I can think of a billion.


Small fry i said as at, meaning from the start of the season to February. I'm not sure much has changed since then. Read comprehensively, its part of your problem.


Hes shooting 30% for the season but with bron hes shooting 35%, thats an improvement on his overall average. You need math lessons? I can make a few recommendations for you.


What? you know its true.

Lmaooooo. Whatever makes you sleep better at night mate. Even LeNomad has been shut down for the year so this whole debate might as well follow suit.

My highlight for the year. What's yours bro?

steady986:
Just a reminder about the LeBron James effect. KCP went from 7 points without the king to scoring 25 points with him playing. LeBron James makes everyone better, PERIOD.

Lmaooo Reggie Bullock says Hi

Killrhymz:
Harden, CP3, Gordon and Capela have 88 of 91 points.
Other 4 players have played 70 mins and have 3 points.
Formula to beating Rockets is simple and they are most predictable team in NBA.

That team is the most top heavy in the league. It's unreal

I can't count how many times I've seen PJ Tucker play 40 mins and not score a point
