If you believe there is something wrong with Nigeria, now is the time to act. Don’t speak up and cry, then go back to collect your salaries and allowances.
There is always the option of keeping quiet and allowing your name to forever rest in infamy. But at least, deny your children the disgrace of seeing you cry like a little bitch.
The Lekki Massacre of October 20, 2020, was the federal government of Nigeria and Lagos State government’s response to the #EndSARS protest and Sọrọ sókè movement that had been ongoing in the state for about two weeks prior.
Sọrọ sókè is a Yoruba phrase that serves as a prompting to speak louder, speak up, or speak more assertively.
This phrase has been co-opted both online and offline as a response by Nigerian youths engaged in the #EndSARS protest.
