My client in Lagos can hear gunshots from her apartment. Her family was at the protests last week and toll gate earlier this week. This isn't just some news item you scroll past. It's really happening—in the most populous city in Africa, one of the biggest in the world. #endSARS
“Protesters are causing traffic”
“We can’t go to work”
“They are disturbing our business”
I hope you can now go to work
I hope you can now drive freely.
I hope you can now open your shop.
I hope the blood that you want to be spilled all over Lagos has made your life better now.
Someone ordered soldiers to shoot live bullets at unarmed protesters killing many people. This morning, police too killed randomly.
Till now, NOT ONE person has lost their jobs over the Lagos Massacres.
Not the Chief of Army Staff.
Not the IG Police.
Nothing.
We just move on.
One day, all this will be over somehow, life will return back to normal and we would all remember the roles that the police, the military, the thugs and every one of our top politicians and governors played in whatever the outcome of this #EndSARS protests.
Such a sad sad story.
After the bravery on third mainland, I hear we have to proceed with the swearing-in of @Peruzzi as the new Inspector General of Police with immediate effect. All those in support oya RT!
#EndSARS
If govt fails to listen to young people and make visible tangible changes,
Dear Lagos Protesters
Dear Abuja Protesters
Dear PH and Ibadan Protesters
And everywhere else,
Let’s have a CandleNight session every Friday night till govt listens.
RT this if you are with me. #EndSARS
Someone tweeted how his brother died at the hand of SARS and the family doesn't speak about it till date. Do you know how crazy it is to act like your child was never born, like you never heard their laugh or saw their smile. This is why we march
