We’ve all heard the news, we’ve all seen the
pictures, and those of us who were able to
stomach it took a few minutes to watch the
horrific video. Four students of the University
of Port Harcourt were beaten and burnt to
death by the people of Aluu Community last
Friday October 5. Reasons behind the
brutality remain sketchy but one thing we all
know is that, no matter what they did,
Chidiaka, Tekena, Lloyd and Ugonna didn’t
deserve to go like this.
It turns out that 2 of the 4 victims, Lloyd
( Big L) and Ugonna (Tipsy) were up &
coming musicians as well. They were both
featured on this song titled “Heart of the
City” by another newcomer called Timi Kay.
When you listen to the lyrics, you’d
understand where they were coming from.
Could it have been a premonition? I’ll try not
to be too dramatic about it. In any case, you
couldn’t have handpicked a better song to
highlight the f*@kery that has just occurred.
The song talks about how wicked the
word is – It says no love in the city. A
really good rap song.
They sounded like American rap artists. It
was played by a radio station in Ph this
afternoon as they where commenting on
what happened. The boys were supposedr to
have a show this week in Uniport.
The music is great. Ironically the lyrics talked
of doomed hateful society, full of hate, crime
and death. Chai, we just lost some
overwhelmingly handsome talented Igbo
boys to heartless beasts in human form.
