NIGERIA TODAY (A SAD REALITY)

All we ever wanted was a secured place to call home.
All we ever wanted was a place where there was peace and harmony.
All we ever wanted was a country free from corruption.
All we ever wanted was a home for our kids.
All we ever wanted was a society where you could run with your passion in whatever career without thinking of who is gonna employ.

All we ever wanted was a community where you didn't have to study medicine, pharmacy to make it.
All we ever wanted was a community with 24 hours light supply.
All we ever wanted was an above minimum wage pay.
All we ever wanted was our voices to be heard.
All we ever wanted was to END BAD GOVERNANCE.

WE JUST WANTED TO LIVE.

OCTOBER 12th 2020

We started the END SARS PROTEST.
Our aim was just to end police brutality which was becoming very rampant.

Security officers were rather more dangerous than COVID-19.
We were tired.
We started a peaceful protest.

We ended up being ignored.
Same phase repeated over and over again.
The police shot at us, we lost lives in the fight but we remained peaceful.

And then....
There was a flip.

At first we saw them as Goverment paid hoodlums.
They looted properties, killed people on the protest ground. In addition to the people being killed by police officers.

They'll pay one of us to kill some of us.

4:00pm
The Goverment asked us to maintain a 24 hours curfew.
Some of us decided to remain at the lekki toll gate .

The idea was that they'll remain there singing the national anthem and waving the NIGERIAN FLAG for the next 24 hours.

6:00pm
Some men came to remove the security cameras at the toll gate, they claimed the goverment asked them to.

7:00pm
The lights were turned off, including the billboard lights.

7:30pm
We were surronded by dressed in army wears, every end was burnt and there was no escape.
They OPEN FIRE on us.

About 70 people were killed on spot and they took the bodies, Most of us managed to escape.

OCTOBER 21st, 2020.

Looting of private business, hoodlums attack citzens and government.
Continous Burning down of Banks, schools, malls.

I had an anxiety attack.
I wished i had a passport and 2 clothes to leave this country.

ALL I WANT NOW IS PEACE AND A HOME.
