Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has expressed the willingness to meet the unidentified boy in a viral video, asking his mother to ‘calm down’ when she attempted to beat him over an offence.
In the video, the boy appealed to his mother to “calm down. I will not do it again. Mummy calm down, you must rest a little.” He also asked his mother to pardon him and give him a last chance forever and ever. He told his mum who had told him that it was his usual way of pleading for mercy anytime he offended that, “this is my last chance.”
In his Sallah message to Lagosians, the Governor on his official Twitter handle @jidesanwoolu said he was inspired by the video “because of the deeper meaning it conveys,” urging residents to “calm down.”

He said: “I saw a video of a charming young boy online asking his mom to ‘calm down’ as she was set to punish him for a 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 depicted 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.
