A man has revealed that the targeted electoral violence that happened in Lagos state is already affecting intertribal relationships.
He said that a friend who is an Igbo girl cried bitterly to him over the phone because her parents called off the marriage plans with her boyfriend she has been eagerly waiting for.
According to the narrator known as Iyke Nwabuko, her family barred the man from coming for the introductory rights which had earlier been agreed upon.
He said the heartbroken lady has been crying about the development as if someone close to her died in a fatal 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”
