On 9 April 2017 the Lagos State Task Force invaded Otodo Gbame at around 5:30am shooting tear gas and bullets in the air to chase the remaining residents out. They came with 3 Task Force "black maria" (mobile detention units), about a half dozen Task Force trucks, and over 50 Police Officers.
With the main land entrance to the community blocked off by the Task Force, the evictees were forced into the Lagos Lagoon. Shortly thereafter, the Task Force began dousing structures with kerosene and lighting them on fire. Throughout the morning the Task Force, aided by the Marine Police, continually fired tear gas and bullets at the fleeing evictees, thousands of whom remained just outside the community in boats. At least two young men were shot: one in the neck who soon thereafter died, and one in the chest who the community rushed to the General Hospital.
By mid-day the evictees were all in canoes and other wooden boats on the Lagos Lagoon in two giant flotillas of hundreds of canoes and wooden boats each. Any attempt to approach the community or nearby land, resulted in a volley of tear gas and gun shot from the Task Force. Meanwhile the Task Force systematically doused structures with kerosene and lit them on fire. By mid-afternoon one caterpillar and one swamp buggy arrived in the community to demolish remaining structures on land and water. By early evening (around 5:30pm) the Task Force entered into canoes and began pursuing the evictees on water, shooting bullets and tear gas in the air. As the residents fled for their lives, 4 Marine Police boats stationed at Ikate began shooting bullets at the fleeing residents in boats. Countless residents spent the night in boats on the Lagos Lagoon.

Joint Task Force-East
NOVO SELO, Bulgaria — U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel joined together for two symbolic ceremonies Sept. 27 and 28 as exercise Lion Strike came to an end.
First, Joint Task Force-East celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a humanitarian project at a kindergarten in Mokren, Bulgaria. Eleven U.S. Navy personnel from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40, otherwise known as SeaBees, finished an extensive renovation of the school during the exercise.
The children from the school, along with parents, teachers, school director, local officials and U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel, crowded the small courtyard during the ceremony.
"We say in the United States that the children are our future," said Army Lt. Col. Bruce Sones, commanding officer for JTF-E "Lion Strike".
"We hope through the efforts of those involved in this project that the improved environment created for teaching the children will contribute to the children's development as they grow and become leaders in your society."
The school director, Margarita Nicolova, thanked the SeaBees and then presented them with a picture painted by the children, a CD of Bulgarian folk music, a photo of the children and a glass vial filled with Bulgarian soil.
Of the soil, she said, "Wherever you go, you know you'll have a piece of Bulgaria with you."
The school children then sang several songs for the audience and the ribbon was cut. But, there was another surprise for the children, a HMMWV full of gifts. All of the soldiers, sailors and airmen participating in the exercise had contributed money to buy much-needed school supplies and educational toys for the school.
"We will maintain what you have done, and promise to continue with improvements," said Emil Enchev, mayor of Mokren. "Hopefully we will continue working together in the future."
The next day, all JTF-E "Lion Strike" participants, both U.S. and Bulgarian, came together again, this time to commemorate the end of the exercise during the closing ceremony.
During the ceremony Sones and Col. Biser Kalinov, chief of Training, Bulgarian Land Forces, presented certificates of achievement to 14 U.S. Soldiers and 16 Bulgarian soldiers for their efforts during the exercise.
"During this training, we had the opportunity to gain military experience from the leading force in NATO - the United States Military, and to show that while representing a small army, the Bulgarian officers, Non-commissioned officers and soldiers are honorable partners and excellent professionals," said Kalinov, who spoke first during the ceremony.
He was followed by Sones, who echoed Kalinov's feelings.
"This closing ceremony does not mark the end of a training opportunity or a farewell to relationships fostered," said Sones.
"In our minds, it marks the hopeful commencement of future training opportunities to be conducted between our nations."
"We can truly say the professionalism and generosity of the Bulgarian Land Forces is unrivaled," he continued.
"We know the strong relationship between the United States and Bulgaria, as demonstrated during this exercise, will continue to grow, and we look forward to training and serving with you in the years to come."

While to everybody else sharpening a pencil is probably the easiest task you could ask of someone. But when you ask me to sharpen a pencil...well your going to get half a pencil back. Let alone talking about a color pencil where you are going to get a quarter of it back :P
We are all good at our own things no need to be perfect at everything! People like you for who you are and just be yourself!
