Hey guys!

Been quite a while, hasn't it?

I'm really sh*t at this thing I do though. Really sorry for a break in transmission.

So, I'm sitting in my room this evening and scrolling through Instagram and realizing that I haven't actually talked about this thing that went down with y'all.

Before I went to bed last night, my roommates and I saw the post on Falz's Instagram about the procession in loving memory of those whose lives were lost during the peaceful #EndSars protest at Lekki Toll Gate, Lekki, Lagos State.

It brought back a thousand different memories

That time was indeed a trying time for Nigerians home and abroad.

I remember that day like it was yesterday

I was one of the online protesters, constantly checking Twitter for updates every minute.

At about 7pm or so, I started seeing videos of people running, looking for shelter from the guns that were ceaselessly firing.

Before this, the youths were told to come with their own national flag as the army cannot shoot at them if they're holding their national flag.

They sang the national anthem peacefully

Protested peacefully

Held the flag and they were still shot at

The question on my mind and I believe is on everyone's mind is "WHY?"

A year later, we still haven't found out why though.

A year later, the nation hasn't helped us

A year later, we are still were we were

A year later, the #Sorosoke generation decided to memoralise their loved ones and the armed forces began agian

I don't think they get it though

We are here to stay

We will not be deterred

We refuse to stand down

Say Their Names!!!!!!!!!
