A video showing a large crowd of people chanting "Ebi npalu" (there’s hunger in the community) at the front of the palace of the Emir of Ilọrin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has gone viral on social media, causing alarm and anger among the residents of the city.

The video, which is only 26 seconds long, was purportedly taken recently, amid the economic challenges facing the country. However, some residents have questioned the veracity of the video, noting that it resembles a similar protest that took place in Niger State and other parts of the country a few weeks ago.

One of the residents, Alhaji Oba Daudu, who lives near the palace, told Daily Trust that he did not witness any such protest at the palace. He said he was shocked and confused when he saw the video online, and he rushed home to confirm the situation. He said he found nothing unusual at the palace, and he accused the makers of the video of being "dubious and evil" for creating panic in the polity.

According to Daily Post, the Emir of Ilọrin, who is also the Chairman of Kwara State Traditional Rulers Council, has reacted to the video, saying that it was a false and misleading representation of the reality. He said the video was actually from the events leading up to the 2019 general elections in the state, when some political parties staged rallies and demonstrations at the palace.

The Emir, through his spokesman, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, called for calm and urged the public to disregard the video. He said the video was aimed at tarnishing the image of the palace and the state, and he advised the people to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.

his mouth stinks

we know that was an old video where people were dehumanized by the same devilish Emire during covid

They have started trying to use propaganda to turn the masses against themselves. The thing about APC is that they're very predictable, they use the same pattern and sequence everytime, Nigerians are just too damn dumb to see through it!

But reality, Nigeria is not funny presently
The govt needs to do something and fast too

Tho, manipulating the. Video to suit current situation is wrong.
The Emir as a traditional leader should have spoken on the present sufferings of the masses with an appeal to make life better for his subjects.

Hhjn

We already know it's the work of developers. Same way they released fake baluba video from Imo during the elections. Tinubu has not refrained from speaking publicly and no International media has picked up on any baluba speech apart from the fake made in Aba video by Obis dishonest ers. They have just picked up from where they stopped then but I am sure the DSS will soon be on their case. All these because their Agulu fraud lost to Tinubu.

If the owner of morning says you will be well, the owner of night won't.

Ilorin comfortably stands as one of the poverty ravished states in Nigeria. They shouldn't worry - protests from hunger will soon break out. Ilorin's citizens are hungry but the governor is fine with using billions to construct useless and fake bridges. Issokay.

No problem as long he didn't accuse ipob or Obidients of being behind the protest.

Before it was ebi n pa wa(individual hunger)
Now it is ebi npa ilu(community hunger)

But dear royal father,is there hunger in the land?.

That they are not protesting doesn't mean all is well in the land.

Patience people have patience everything will be alright
Have a great week

Either it was done in your palace, outside your palace or anywhere,the truth of the matter is that there is severe hunger in the land

The rate at which people churn out propaganda these days is alarming.
That was how the other day, someone said cement is now 15k. The same cement I bought for 8500 same day o.
He said spaghetti jumped to N800 from N20.
Some people just derive joy at hearing bad news about the country. And when there's non, they create one and spread.

Tribal bigot! Does the current government of your inept clueless Agbado eater appeal to your comfort? When will you lot stop suffering and smiling? And when will there ever be one voice against a heartless and wicked dictator in this country?
