An aspiring medical student was left brain-dead last month when his friends pushed him into a Louisiana lake knowing he couldn’t swim, and then looked on while doing nothing to save the drowning man.   Shocking video shows the group casually staring into the water moments after they shoved Christopher Gilbert off the dock at Lake D’Arbonne in Farmerville on April 14.    At least one woman can be seen slowly entering the water before abandoning the rescue mission.    10 minutes passed before a patron at a nearby restaurant intervened and yanked Gilbert back to land.   The 26-year-old was brain dead and the rest of his organs were starting to fail by the time he arrived at a local hospital, his mother Yolanda George told KSLA.     He spent 72 hours on a ventilator and an ECMO machine, which George described as “dialysis for the lungs.”      “I was devastated. I felt like my life had ended at that moment. My son is aspiring to be a medical doctor, my son is going to be a medical doctor.

  Singer Yemi Alade has continued to tackle the Lagos state government over the demolition of houses in the Mende area of the state.    Over the weekend, the state Ministry of Environment and Water Resources demolished the houses on the grounds that the houses were built on the drainage system of the state. On Sunday, Yemi shared a video pointing out that the different demolitions are ruining the real estate value of Lagos and Nigeria. In a series of tweets posted online this morning May 5, Yemi said the state government is giving Nigerians reasons not to invest in Lagos real estate. In her post, she called on the state government to at least start refunding affected legal buyers the monies paid to the state government when purchasing their land.
