afrodoc2: It takes a man whose village people have special plans for to have his kid(s) in the car and still be driving in that manner to evade arrest.
What a pity for the boy, his mother, and his siblings.
Maybe he was under spell sha; cos his behavior defies logic
izzou: [color=royalblue]I am not justifying the shooting. I am simply saying the man gave the officers that doubt.
To show you how stupid he is, the money he will spend fixing his car, would be more than the money he would have paid as a fine. [/color]
Maybe the traffic law in Oyo state is tailored after Lagos own. Remember that in Lagos if u follow one-way, the punishment is forfeiture of ur vehicle after which the vehicle will be autioned by the government to the highest bidder.
Maybe that's his fear and not fine. Whatever the case may be, he is a stupiiid man
izzou: [color=royalblue]I remember a guy caught on one way in Lagos.
As he was trying to escape, he hit a police officer and the officer fell into the lagoon. The officer was unhurt
Lagos state gave that guy 6 months imprisonment.
I don't know about Oyo, but if this was Lagos, without the shooting part, this guy go taste Badagry prison.[/color]
Definietly, ewon na prison! If u do the crime, u do the time.
I hate people following one-way with passion. I nearly lost a friend to a useless keke NAPEP that hit hi from behind while driving recklessly on one-way
izzou: [color=royalblue]There is more than one offence there.
Firstly, it was one way. He was stopped, refused to stopped, and drove his car recklessly with the intent to kill an officer, not forgetting damaging vehicles on the way.
So, which one gan gan you wan actually defend the man with?[/color]
The shooting was wrong, they should have pursued him. There's no way he will outrun them with that hos small car vs their rugged pickup patrol van. There's no justification for the man's behaviour and there's no justification for the shooting as well.
TemporaryHansel: Seems like I'll stop taking twitter stories seriously oh. Saw the news quite early yesterday on x and I was very angry not knowing that isn't what actually happened.
Sometimes(Not all the time) twitter stories are embellished
izzou: [color=royalblue]He will still be prosecuted.
The officer would probably be dismissed, but baba go still chop him own.[/color]
They may or may not proceed with his prosecution. Remember how the Oyo state government was all gased up to prosecute Oriyomi Hamzat , Ooni's former queen and the school principal over the botched giveaway that led to loss of lives? You know they eventually withdrew the case against them and they were all discharged & acquitted eventually.
TemporaryHansel: What I read on twitter was different. According to the users there who live close, they said the police were chasing a yahooboy and in a bid to get him they fired shots at his vehicle only for the bullet to stray and hit the boy.
That version is not correct. At least there is video evidence suggesting that he was the one they actually wanted to arrest for following one-way before he started driving recklessly to evade arrest.
Without the video evidence, I would also have believed the twitter version of the story
izzou: [color=royalblue]As much as it sounds vague, even in the Almighty USA, dem go pursue you the moment you refuse to stop. Even if you kill two people while running, dem go still dey pursue you
Also, the stupid man was already willing to crush police officers when he was stopped. You saw how he was driving recklessly to escape. One would think he was carrying something suspicious
The officer obviously would answer to opening fire, but the man already gave everyone the intention that he was dangerous.
In summary, a very stupid man.[/color]
Yes, the man is stupid and the police should've given him a pursuit at least instead of shooting directly at the car.
I doubt if the state government will still not go ahead to prosecute him with this video evidence. Except they just want to let him off the hook for him to grieve
afrodoc2: So, the man just wasted the life and potential of his own child like that?
Aswear !
I'm sure the man lives close to that junction where he entered that one-way. I normally see people do that rubbish when they will decide to follow one-way because they live on that side of the road instead of driving down to the front to make a U-turn and join the express the normal way.
The man just put his family in harm's way and our police wey no get human feelings just help him to unalive his son.
There's a lot of lessons to be learnt from that incident
GloriousGbola: Driving one way is a traffic offence. A traffic offence is not a capital crime unless someone is killed. Las Las you get the license plate and follow up afterwards.
The police are a completely wasted institution. You will observe that the traffic control guys are in shock, but the police literally do not care. All they want to do is leave. They have done far worse than this with no repercussions.
And of course no one in this mess is was really concerned about the rule of law - it was just a shakedown exercise for them. They probably did think the people in the car were yahoo boys.
You really read the body language of the policemen right; they weren't really bothered about the carnage they had caused; they were more concerned about stopping the driver using whatever means is necessary.
Watching the video and reading the press release of the police, I believe they (The police PR team) watched the video several times and then decided to write a story that suits their agenda as press release.
That man too looks like all these men that will not listen to their wife and end up causing irreparable loss to the family. If the man is someone whom the wife has been telling to always avoid passing one-way but rather should go and turn at the next junction; I'm afraid this incident may break their marriage. The deceased child is a twin(Taiwo) and his Kehinde see to be the one in the video kicking the body of the vehicle in frustration. Some women in the wife's shoes will just leave the marriage with the surviving man and leave the man with his strong-head that has caused them to lose Taiwo.
Without prejudice I think the father as the police officer who shot the guy have 50% blame Each for the death of the boy .
The man passing one-way is totally wrong , evading arrest and endangering the lives of other road users while trying to evade arrest is also a crime .
However , the policeman firing a direct shot at the man’s car should also be tried for manslaughter . How do u shoot directly at a car simply because the driver won’t stop ? What happens to getting his plate number to effect his arrest later ?
So hazard running through the middle of players places him in god-mode in dribbles, but Salah actually dropping bodies on his way to score a beautiful that won award isn't?
airmark: Bro, stop making yourself happy when you obviously goofed by saying Sallah pass Hazard in everything. You can't evaluate a winger without checking his dribbling skills and Hazard dusts him easily. You don't need to manufacture metric from the standard ones we all know, just to suit your obvious agenda against Hazard.
iamoyindamola: You really rate these niggas here sha See how he add drogba to the talk, it's their way🤣
As in.... I jsut weak for them. It's not like I'm even using an Arsenal player to compare a Chelsea player o. I don't know why they always see any criticism of their current or ex-player as an attack on the club. I really don't know why.
Singapore1: you can't force an Arsenal fan to like Chelsea players , especially after wetin we use their eyes see over the past decade, you can't just forget the PTSD easily, same reason them no rate Drogba. Preferring Salah to Hazard in every metric is questionable, and comparing Salah's dribbling style to Messi's is diabolical lol.
So Sallah didn't score against Arsenal ba?
Omo! Sometimes the way some of u dey reason these things lasan, I don't even even know what to make of it. Funny thing is Sallah even scored more solo goals against Arsenal than Hazard.
The truth is only a Chelsea fan will want to pick a bettter forward player between Sallah and Hazar d and go ahaed to choose Hazard for obvious reasons.For football fans who neither support Chelsea nor Loserpool, the obvious choice will definitely be Sallah. It's a no brainer.
And if u read my post and u conclude I am comparing Sallah with Messi, then I really don't know what to tell u.
airmark: The point is the ignorant agenda that most of you always drive home that he did shakushaku always with the ball when even in his last season with Chelsea he had 30+ G/A and nearly every season he created most of Chelsea's big chances.
There's nothing like dribbling for entertainment and dribbling for non-entertainment. You are the one manufacturing that and it's not admissible in any football stats in rating wingers. Successful dribbles, like i pointed out earlier have nothing to do with where the next touch goes and that's a fact you must not argue against.
My point is clear, Salah doesn't edge Hazard in dribbles. You may even consult your most reliable AI what a successful dribble means and who the better dribbler is, and drop your ignorant belief.
Maybe u should go back to read my post u quoted initially. Nobody claimed Hazard doesn't dribble but does his dribbles always end with a positive end product as much as Sallah's ? Definitely not. You know this, I know this and we all know this.
But somehow u want to force me into an argument I'm not having with u. The fact that u branded what Hazard does as shakushaku without me mentioning same shows u actually agree with my point but pride would make u introduce a totally different argument into the discussion.
I say it again that Sallah edges Hazard when it comes to purposeful dribbles which either ends in goals, assists and big chances created. If u are impressed with unnecesary dribbles , good for U; I am not.
airmark: I remember his dribbles from central circle against your team that resulted in one of the best solo goals in Epl. He dribbled to score against all the the top teams in England before he left. If your team have such player, you would have won Epl since.
Sometimes abi most of the times sef, u will just leave the matter being discussed and go off tangent hoping to score some nonexistent points.
What's the relevance of Hazard dribbling and scoring against Arsenal in a one-off situation to this discussion now?
Season in season out, Sallah would face top defenders, take them on in 1v1 situation and end up either scoring or creating assist for his team. It's not a one-off thing; there are several of such clips spanning his time at Loserpool till date. The Hazard u are trying to defend has confessed with own mouth that he prefers to enjoy football (which buttressed the point I made earlier that he focuses on dribbling for purely entertainment reasons), rather than putting the ball at the back of the net(which is the ultimate goal of an attacker/forward player)
What do u think u would achieve pointing out that Hazard solo goal Vs Arsenal? Do u think it will get me vexed or what exactly ?
One thing I know u cannot claim is that Sallah can't dribble.
Saladdin: I believe it was necessary for it to have a Season 4 due to the storyline essentially revolving around Bumpy Johnson.
The series is a quasihistorical one and with the introduction of the Frank Lucas character and Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mother), don't be surprised that it'll renew for season 5. It has been enjoyable so far.
Can you recommend any series that's quite similar to it and enjoyable to watch?
Oh, I didn't know that Afeni lady will end up being Tupac's mother.
The series is enjoyable like u rightly said but sooner or later it will lose its steam if they keep renewing it for fresh new season every year. They will get to a dead end
