WIND
OF CHANGE: NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA AND THE WORLD JOINING IN.
All across Nigeria, there is a song in the air and the
streets are buzzing with excitement. Why you may ask? This is because the Nigerian
youths have finally woken up to the realisation, they are the tomorrow, the better
future, and hope for the nation we have all been told about.
Nigerians and Nigerian youths have had enough of the
excesses and atrocities committed by Special Anti-Robbery Squads (SARS). This
is an arm of the Nigerian police force, whose duty it is to protect lives and
properties, instead lives and properties are in danger on their watch. People
have been maimed, killed and even raped with impunity as there is no accountability.
#ENDSARSNOW is the new buzz word.
The protests have gathered momentum from state to state.
International and local celebrities have lent their voices, members of the old
guard like Area Fada, Charly Boy and Dede Mabiaku who never got their protests
very far are in full support. Members of the clergy and people from all walks
of life are showing support, and so is the Nigerian community in the Diaspora.
This article is only the first part, sharing photos from
the different locations around the world where Nigerian are calling on the
international community to support the #ENDSARSNOW movement as the news from
the motherland is very encouraging.
The wind of change is blowing. From London, Paris,
Germany, Manchester, the USA and beyond. Nigerians and friends of Nigeria are
singing from the same hymn sheet in support of the protests. The show of
solidarity, protection, maturity, proper organisation and peace that have been
displayed, is taking everyone by surprise. Nigerian youths are not lazy at all.
They have shown an amazing sense of control.
Maybe finally this time, we are onto something good. And
that dream of a better Nigeria is not so far off afterall. The sleeping giant
is slowly waking up to take her pride of place. Nigeria We Hail Thee.
