    The past few days have been ALOT. The Nigerian youth are fed up! We are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The government keeps making promises and providing stories that touch about how they will make a change, but that’s dead... we need to see results... ASAP. People are dying everyday in Nigeria at the hands of SARS and police officers. The least we can do as a diaspora is support them online... tweet, retweet and engage with people’s tweets about the protests. We need change, we refuse to keep quiet while people die. #endsars #sarsmustend #sarsmustgo #savenigeria
