This video has turned my stomach.
This child should be in school not mining whether legally or illegally.
My heart keep breaking for how Nigeria keeps failing her young children.
This boy is eloquent. Damn.
He had the right use of word for the right time. A country where Children are not valued cannot prosper. We need to fight for these children.
If this is what these children are made to pass through everyday, lack of value will be normal to them and they will repeat it when they grow to be senators and governors.
“If I can pass through it during my time, you can pass through it too”. That will be their songs to other children when they start ruling too. We need to end the spread now. They need to see the other part of life.
“We are not into ill£gal m!ning. The Niger State Civil Defence Corps don’t have the right to shøøt at us. We are under 18. Heat cannot k!ll a gold miner.”
– A young man who claimed to be a witness recounts his experience following the de@ths of miners in NSCDC custody in Niger State.
Pelumi Onifade paid with his life for filming this video !!
Few days after this video was posted, Pelumi was kidnapped in the guise of an arrest by police, who then denied taking him and after months of uproar online, his body was found at the Ikorodu general hospital Mortuary
I keep saying it, Nigeria has zero regard for human life.
37 children dead in custody? It's the way they keep addressing them as illegal miners. People's children are DEAD!
Chimamanda is hurting like maaaadd (j’ai même peur qu’elle n’écrive plus jamais) et les gens sont là à vouloir faire une critique de son patriotisme mdr. On l’a accusé de « dissimuler des preuves » parce qu’elle a incinéré son enfant (pour ne pas avoir à l’enterrer loin d’elle)-
Pelumi confirmed to have died of gunshot wounds during EndSARS
The country is a big crime scene and Nigerian Politicians are the wickedest people on earth.
I’m not sure that Politician has been prosecuted.
I need mining to be abolished in Nigeria, they are slaving children and paying them peanuts to nothing, minors shouldn’t be working, worse part these children are intoxicating harmful substances, no regulations or anything, it’s really wicked mehn, now some people died yesterday
Imagine being locked up in a place you cannot leave, with your safety completely in the hands of the government.
You cannot open the door, run or save yourself and those of us outside are not as safe as we think we are.
Yet people still want another 4 years of this same government.
What exactly are people seeing that I am not seeing?
They are labeling over 37 teenage boys murdered in Niger “illegal miners” to dehumanize them.
This is narrative control because the first thing they want you to think is that they are criminals.
There is no basis for this.
There is no evidence for this.
With the level of police brutality and corruption in this country, we do not trust anything with APC in power.
This is victim-blaming and stripping their dignity. A person does not lose their humanity or rights because they allegedly committed an offense.
This is madness!
I still really don't get it. Why did the NSCDC officers demand 500k each from the parents of the victims as bail before they died? What was that money even for, ransom? Meanwhile, in Nigeria, they claim bail is free, with the notice boldly displayed in their stations😢
They may have been poisoned to death in custody to coverup something sinister. Illegal miners don’t work alone, they either have Chinese buyers or big men they mine for or both.
Nigeria once again has proven to be a crime scene.
