Lagos Governor To Meet Young Boy Who Begged His Mom To "Calm Down" In Viral Video

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has expressed his satisfaction and asked to see the young boy who was spotted in a viral video, begging his mother to calm down after offending her. 

While commending the lad for his sobriety, he urged Lagosians to demonstrate and emulate his sense of self restraint, especially at this time the world is facing COVID-19 outbreak. 

His statement reads in part;

“I saw a video of one charming young boy online asking his mom to ‘calm down’ as she was set to punish him for his misdemeanour. I was moved by his sobriety, which reflected in his promise of “last chance”, when confronted with the fact that he is a regular offender.

"The exchange was indeed funny, but it depicts the efforts parents put in moulding children into responsible adults. I want to assume that his mom indeed calmed down because the appeal was moving enough to make anyone change their mind.

"Interestingly, the video inspired this special message to the good people of Lagos State because of the deeper meaning it conveys. Fellow Lagosians, we need to ‘calm down’ as we enjoy the coming holiday and festivity.

"Meanwhile, I would like to meet the young boy since we both have exclusive right to the phrasal verb ‘calm down." (Culled from Gistreel)
