The struggle to end oppression in any given society is not a one-man struggle; it belongs to everyone who has the milk of human kindness flowing in their veins – red, yellow, black or white.

Nigeria’s youth, through the #EndSARS protest, have shown resilience in the struggle to end the oppression of the masses by members of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) despite stiff opposition. Their demonstration of courage speaks volume that there is no backing down until their voices are heard and the desired changes are made.

His tweet reads, “The youth in Nigeria deserve good leadership and guidance. This situation is tied to many other issues. Please lend your attention to this pressing problem!”

Another American singer, songwriter, rapper, and actor, Tremaine Aldon Neverson, popularly known as Trey Songz, lent his voice to the protest as well, describing it as hurtful.

His tweet reads:

“After doing a little research I would like to speak out against what’s going on in Nigeria right now. Their pleas to #EndSarsNow IS VERY REAL. I have so much love for my Nigerian fans and it’s so hurtful to hear what’s happening.

“Police brutality here in America often is an abuse of power driven by race. To be brutalized, extorted and murdered by your own people is unimaginable. Prayers up and I’m researching ways I can help. #EndSARS.”

“I have had enough of these injustices now. It’s torture – nothing more and nothing less.
