Outrage as man repeatedly kicks 78-year-old woman on train ride, onlookers standby and do nothing (video)

The war against domestic violence and abuse of women has been a long one coming. Several volunteering and non-governmental agencies have embarked on campaigns to sensitize the society on the ills of beating up a fellow human being.

It would appear that even though the message has taken ground to a reasonable extent, the war is far from being over. A video which has become a viral sensation on social media is getting a lot of internet users outraged.

A Twitter user identified as Rello, recently took to popular micro blogging platform Twitter, with the video post, while calling the attention of the public to the ills being committed against an aged and helpless woman.

In the video which was filmed inside a train ride, a man was spotted as he approached the seated granny, and unleashed a barrage of lethal kicks on her.

The poor lady who appeared to be lacking in strength remained seated while she was repeatedly assaulted. Even more disturbing is the fact that several onlookers could be heard cheering in the background while filming, with no one making any attempt to stop the assaulter.

Satisfied at the amount of pain he had brought on the granny, he stumped out of the ride and was still not accosted by anyone.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
