"heroes of our time" were honored all over the country by the young Nigerians who have not been sleeping over the course of the protest.
And a very long list was called of the names of those who have met their ends at the hands of the SARS operatives while still innocent and unarmed.
It was a sober moment when attendance-like-list was called and all the youths present shouts "hero" after each name. I could not hold my tears 😭
The dreaded things of all is the fact that some of these people were killed by the police at a peaceful protest against the police brutality.
It is a Nigerian adage that says
"who no go, no go know"
You must be there to fully grasp what went on.
...until the day you lose a loved one, you may never truly understand why the other person is crying.
