Hello everyone,
As you may know, for the last three weeks Nigerians all over the world have been peacefully protesting against police brutality in their country.

This has supposedly been going on for years. However, lessons barely received by students.
@sheffielduni made no attempt in publicising this video on main platforms as well. Again, everything right on paper but never in action.
