The fact we get to celebrate justice being served over someone who should’ve never died in the first place speaks volumes, I’m just glad we don’t have to go to bed angrier tonight.
Today JRF Trustees and @theJRHT Board have issued a statement of apology in response to evidence linking our endowment with the Rowntree Company’s deeply disturbing practices overseas during the 19th and 20th centuries: https://t.co/VOQwIAlmcE
U.K. racism is soo much worse than US because this country is in denial that it even exist. You will go to HR and say someone called you monkey and their response would be “well I get called a giraffe because I’m tall”

Let's be clear about what happened in Nigeria today.
The government did not "watch" its citizens get killed.
The government planned and carried out a massacre on unarmed citizens.
The government was not a bystander. It was the perpetrator.
#EndSARS#BuhariResignNow
Nigerian protesters are hitting the streets to #EndSARS. They want police reform and an end to police brutality.
Since COVID-19 lockdowns began in the country in April, more Nigerians have died from security forces than by the virus.
Calls to #EndSARS are not new. Earlier this year, an investigation by #BBCAfricaEye found that SARS officer, Yusuf Kolo tortured a young man to death in 2014. Kolo was later promoted. Twice. Today, he commands the Special Tactical Squad.

We protested against violence, and they responded with more violence. We spoke up about getting beaten, extorted and killed - they responded with more killing. Our hearts are broken but our spirits will never die.

The fact that the govt/ police isn’t doing daily press conferences/ briefings till now shows a total lack of understanding of the times. #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria
