We didn't ask for this

We didn't ask for a country rolling in economical challenges every now and then.

We didn't ask for a government taking not the needs of her people into heart the way it's supposed to be taken

We didn't ask for government reminded of our existence only when there's heads needed to cut through the bush of election.

We didn't ask for a government that barely have a successful free education package recorded to her name for a complete calender.

But we can't be broken by this, No we can't allow that get to us and let our means of survival be stolen in all ways.

All we are looking for is a chance and a means of survival which chased us to the streets trying to look for a way to survive

A way to escape what appears to be the hereditory poverty which our beloved country has done a lot in contributing

A way we know as an alternative, to fill up the empty spaces of opportunity we're being denied as a citizen in every sector of our country.

Forgetting and not complaining about all the rights a citizen of a country should have access to

Believing that everybody's survival is in his hands, at least in our country

Trying to make sure the struggles of our parent doesn't go in vain

A life with lads doing 9 to 9 at tender ages just to put something meaningful into their stomachs

And of course the only challenge we still face is from no other but the same government that sent us to where we were

The same set of people sworn to watch over us are the one brutalizing us everyday

As citizens, our freedom of speech was long stolen from us, now our freedom to work and walk?, freedom to make ends meet?

Then how are we to survive?

#EndSARZ Now!!!

Nobody will want to ask for a life like war, Nobody wants a life filled with struggle, Nobody is willing to live a life that's not safe. But at least if all that happened, let brutality not set in. May God help our brothers in Nigeria

Safety to the lives of our brothers from the African countries. It's so sad losing your loved ones to no other thing but the carelessness of the said protector of the people. Let the police brutality end all over the world too

Let's lend a helping voice to our brothers in Nigeria. They deserve more. Police are always meant to be people's friend because they're also human beings, But I can't imagine people's friend hurting people or killing them

Police brutality is a challenge that's being faced by all all over the world but recently that of Nigerian police is not just it. The government has to intervene and I hope they do that as fast as possible

Like honestly, I've heard about what is going on recently in Nigeria and I think that there must be a end to it. People should have access to safety
