RE: Living in terror: My government is a terrorist organisation

Whoa... Sounds intense. Disturbing as well. This is one of the main reasons I speak out against government so much, it too often leads to really horrible injustice.

However, for the first time in my life, I saw a Nigeria that I was proud of in the youths. We came together, irrespective of religious and ethnic affiliation to push a common goal.

That's inspiring to hear! I've been feeling similar in some other ways in regard to seeing more people waking up in general and it's encouraging.

We've always known that the government don't give a shit, but realising that they'll rather kill you than fix a problem hits differently.

Indeed... I think if more people realized that it would be helpful, so many still seem to think their government cares about them...

It is the saddest day of my life as a Nigerian citizen and even as I write this post, my heart bleeds.

So sorry to hear that my friend, my heart goes out to you and all of the others involved.

In this same country where terrorists were rehabilitated and sent back to the society; peaceful protesters who asked for a better life were met with violence. At the end of the day, the only bright spot was seeing youths, millennials, and Gen Z come together for a common cause. We put all those archaic differences aside and pushed for a better life.

Nothing can bring back those who were lost and it's heart breaking, though hopefully awareness is brought to the issue and some positive changes can occur in the future so that these like these don't keep happening. It's really sad to see, we should be able to peacefully work things out and so many continue to insist on using violence... sigh
