The whole continent is singing one song in the midst of all the cautions happening in Africa. For some past weeks now, African countries such as Nigeria and Congo have been in the news for a lot of ‘sad’ reasons.
While the people of Nigeria are fighting for the end of police brutality and asking for the end of bad governance, it is said that Congo too is bleeding.
The Youth of Nigeria including their celebrities have been protesting for close to a week and over asking their leaders to come to their aid by putting an end to SARS (A special Anti-Robbery squad) formed by the government.
After weeks of knocking on the doors of their government, Nigeria Youth are been killed during their peaceful protests in Lagos and so the world is asking one question: ‘Where are the youth in Nigerian going to run go after the leaders “kill” all the youth in Nigeria.
Now Una wan run go after making our land a bitter place to live in ….
