In view Of The recent Killing Of A Black American named George Floyd By an officer of the Law which sparked The Recent Protest Tagged BlackLivesMatter. It opened A Can Of Worms About How black People Are Being Mistreated And Killed On A daily Basis by racist Whites. The tag Black lives matter Has Been Trending For Days Now. veryone seem To Have something To chip in On Issue. I see Nigerians Joining The Trend Andhis Post is Mainly for Us Nigerians.
As we Join In Making posts and using the Hashtag, Let Us Remember That No white man can, As of Today ,aspire To any political Position In Nigeria. During the Last elections, Atiku Was Even accused Of being From Cameroon Just so He Won't Be Voted into Power. Rotimi Akeredolu recently Gave An Insignificant Appointment To An igbo Woman and all Hell Broke lose In Akure..
BlacklivesMatter. Actually, #All lives matter#. As Nigerians fiddle with The Ivory Chest Encasing The presidency, they continue To Wonder If The Igbos Deserve Such a Gift. Do The Igbo's matter? Many would Dismiss This with a waive Of The Hand, but Hold On Vehemently To Their BlacklivesMatter Tags and placards.
With our BlacklivesMatter placards we're Sauntering into all the Hitherto hallowed premises of the World and taking Choice Seats. And Why Not? We paid Our dues As slaves! Black Obama presided over America for eight full Years. Nigeria's Francis Arinze got votes To succeed John Paul The 2nd As Pope, yet, they merely suggest to Us: could you Loosen Your society's Bond Around women? Could You Please Make Room for Your own people who are gay? Could You Allow a man From okoto be a Councillor In enugu?
blackLivesmatter, and we should protest, demonstrate, Kick and scream Until we are heard. However, as we March on, Let us Try To do Better in Our Homes. Charity they Say, Begins at Home. Nigerians! do Better.
