Sometimes I’m eating or about to sleep and it suddenly occurs to me that for over a week, Lagos was terrorized by a group called one million boys and it’s like everyone has forgotten all about it.

It is no doubt that this trend has created some sort of relief for the residents of Ibadan and Nigerians generally. The state government is being beckoned upon not to relax on the feat, urging that they live with the knowledge that the lives and security of Nigerians are important on every level.
