Are you looking at the picture of this plate of rice?
Are you salivating?
Would you kill anyone of this plate of rice?...Did you say no?
Well someone did after feeling himself up with alcohol and has confessed to his crime.
Would you blame his act on poverty?wickedness?would you blame alcohol
or the devil?
Read the story according to Vanguard.
'The Ogun State Police Command said, yesterday, that it had arrested a man, Kayode Olubunmi,37, for allegedly killing his cousin,Haruna Adeoye,20, over a bowl of Christmas rice.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi explained that the tragic incident occurred on the Christmas day at Ajegunle, Ita-Oluwo, Ogijo in Sagamu local government area of Ogun State at 10:30pm.
According to the Police, the suspect killed, Adeoye, an orphan for eating a bowl of rice given to them by a friend on Christmas day.
“ When the suspect, who went on a visit to his friends’ place, came back drunk, he flogged the deceased to death with a stick for eating the rice he instructed him to keep for their dinner.
“Haruna was an orphan who had been staying with the suspect for years and Olubunmi could not state why he killed him.
“He has confessed to the crime, he is with us at SCID Eleweran and will soon appear in court “,
You sniffed his outta him just because of a plate of food. Poverty, let my people be.
ReplyDeleteI meant sniffed his life.
DeleteEnglish teachers please hold ur peace.
Very ridiculous.. poverty is a disease. .
DeleteAnohia !
DeleteWe can't hold our peace o,u have to know its "snuffed" not "sniffed" oya thank me now.
DeleteOya English teacher 101, thank u!
Delete@anon1:57pm what is snuffed? Oversabi. There's snuffed and there's sniffed. Why not check your dictionary b4 forcing yourself to correct stephanie.
DeleteMadam/Mr correcter of the correcter, in this contest snuffed life is what is applicable..don't thank me.oversabi
DeleteAll because of a cheap fiver plate of rice. Are you seriously kidding me? Like who in his right senses does this :/
ReplyDeleteHe was under the influence of alcohol so technically he wasn't in his right sense.
DeleteKai! Jobless as u talk fiver of rice my mind flew to Aunty Nike restaurant near Canning town station. Though then I think it was a tenner for a pack sha. I miss London that shiii.
DeleteOh Lord have Mercy! #sad
ReplyDeleteE yah. When oluyomi mama for dash them bag of rice free for Xmas, this one killed the poor child cos of a bowl of rice? Perhaps he don smoke igbo come dey rush go house to settle for d rice, but alas. At least oluyomi told how how charitable her mom was with rice over this season. Irony of life, while some of us were wasting food some died for not having enough. Sad.
DeleteAn orphan!! O ma se oo!!! Beast of a man, drunkard oloriburuku! God will start your punishment on this earth and continue in the hereafter
ReplyDeleteNigerians we only think physcological evaluation is for only mad pple,e ti gbo were alaso
DeleteOmg this is so sad,bowl of rice for that matter,the good lord have mercy on us o
ReplyDeleteMadam Stella You're so funny, I like how you couched this post, well done.
ReplyDeleteBack to the matter....
The way some peeps go after food is frightening I tell you. Like the world is going to come to an end soon.
One day during a road trip, I watched a dude buy everything on the five hour journey, from the first gas station to the last leg of the trip, lacasera, coke, biscuits, fried chicken, okpa....my only prayer was for him not to end up farting throughout the journey...ewww
This story is however sad. A plate of rice you would eat and still pass out....now the young boy is gone forever, God rest his soul.
Alcohol is evil, honestly. It makes you do stupid, foolish and evil things. Unfortunately, that's not an excuse for what he did. What a pity.
ReplyDeletePoverty na bastard; brings out the demons in human....WTF
ReplyDeleteD rice gan sef...will blame poverty tho...pray his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteD guy was 2o !!!he shud av defended himself!!!! nobody hav any right to hit or beat anybdy !!senior, dad,mom or nt !d violence in Nigeria z nauseating
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly !!!
DeleteMy God! What a waste. I guess his actions can be blamed on all mentioned factors. Hes obviously a very wicked soul living in abject poverty; whose actions were fuelled by d xs alcohol consumed.To crown it all for him, his cousin lucifer decided to help out. I'm sure he'll have enough time in d nick to think about what he did. Such a shame
ReplyDeleteRip haruna!and after killing d poor boy did his corpse produce d rice?ole,begi begi rice,longer throat!!
ReplyDeleteChai rest n peace haruna
DeleteHmmmm. Dnt knw wat to say. Just shocked.
ReplyDeleteKai Poverty is a very dangerous curable disease
ReplyDeleteGoodluck Jonathan, can you see what is happening to your people?
God c wat ur children ar doin 2 dem sefs..poverty has eluded som pple de no lnger value humans lyf.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of hunger can drive something to commit murder? Lord have mercy. I see his lawyer pleading intoxication but whatever, he should stay in jail and get rehabilitated.

A plate of Rice....Chai....Poverty na bastard....every one in naija is turning into a beast.....O di egwu
ReplyDeleteSome people are wicked. Poverty in the highest order
ReplyDeleteMay God av mercy. Rip o. Alcohol nt gud at all. People should keep away from it
ReplyDeleteThis is what I also meaan by poverty is the root of all evil not money
ReplyDeleteAtleast if he had a beautiful sister who got married to an old man for love or money they would have enough rice to eat for the rest of their lives
This is why no one should judge anyone
You do not know what poverty can cause
He must have really hated his cousin naturally and carried out the evil act under d disguise of alcohol. May God grant the cousin eternal rest.
ReplyDeleteMrs J
Killed someone over one measly plate of rice?! Jeez. I can't deal.
ReplyDeletePoverty and a lack of basic education, causes all of the caustic behavior we see in Nigeria. If he knew better, he would definitely act better.
ReplyDeleteHey Maximus, where have you been???
Delete37yr old flogged a 20yr old to death? Haba. And the latter no see road take off? No be sey na small pikin wey no fit go far. Well e don happen. See wetin plate of rice don cause.
ReplyDeleteIts not poverty. No one is that poor. Its a mixture of Alcohol, anger and "devil's work"
ReplyDelete"No one is that poor"?!! You have obviously not been to extremely poor areas like Makoko slums and the rest. Just thank God for what you have.
DeleteThis is beyond physical eye. Let's go spiritual. Lolz
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy. Blame it on poverty plus alcohor.
ReplyDeleteAnd christmas rice took a soul.. Uwa di egwu o.
ReplyDeleteWow this is crazy fa! Why wil the 20year old grown ass man sit and watch his uncle beat him to death? Na wao..poverty na bastard
ReplyDeleteReally don't get this; a 37 year old under the influence of alcohol flogged a 20 year old to death?? Was the 20 year old guy in deep sleep or was he chained that he had to hit him several times? Just thinking.
ReplyDeleteRip!
Paragon7ven.
