We shall never forget,

The trauma of a haunting night,

stained with green blood,

young voices overshadowed by the ambush of old secrets

We shall never forget the march with golden voices,

And the flag that painted the energy of each day

With the colors of a civil language

We shall never forget,

The pain …

The tears …

The loyalty …

And the message – printed in the wind for the world to see.

In your spirits,

A new dream has given birth,

to the golden moments of liberation.

We shall never forget,

to feed more souls with the fruits of new songs

THE LEKKI MASSACRE

Headline – LCC lost millions in a week.

Peaceful angry youths built a fence of themselves

Between the Mainland and the Island.

The toll gate was their camp ground.

And they stood their ground in unity

With one voice…”#EndSars.

Advice came

“Get yourselves flags, the symbol of patriotism

Every man to his flag

Flutter it in the air

And let the air suffocate in the sound of the National Anthem you will chant.

No one will harm you.”

20/10/2020

Curfew announced at noon to start 6pm same day

CCTV cameras were invited in camera

As evening crept in

They depended on the lights for vision

But the lights went out

And darkness was upon the face of the toll gate

The countenance of the gate was hidden.

While they waited, ‘They’ came .

Force men in uniform

Sent by “forces beyond control”

They opened fire that set the Nation on fire.

The Media houses were in their houses but the Social media

The youths fluttered in the air their green white green flags

And chorused the National Anthem but that didn’t stop ‘them’.

Heroes fell but their voices kept rising

The symbol of patriotism was painted with the blood of citizens.

It was a long night

History will not forget 20/10/2020.

# Join this peaceful procession#

# stand in God to end humanly Pains in Nigeria,

# Say no to all SARS of Any Kind#

In Afrika, and in the whole world#

Together we are stronger,

Wherein do we deserve to live in this Pain ?‘

Our hopes sunk and silenced For years,

To be the Same every year,

And live hopeless,

I Mourn For our Loved ones,

Slain in the course of raising their voices,

to injustice that is Norm in our midst,

I Dare not lower My voice ,

Lest we Go unoticed,,

You think you screw courage,

In your act? , of use of daggers,

To paint the streets with mark of

Innocent blood marching for a birth right ?

men of Underworld,

We shall make our grieves known

We are not settled,

Until false faces Hide,

The moon is down,

And will rise with the help of God,

Yet I would not sleep,

I would not stop praying,

I will not restrain My thoughts,

To ask!

Why?

What is our charge,

And who did we wrong to warrant us this agony ?

God have mercy!

# Mach mit #

# friedlichen Prozession #

# in Gott Kommt unsere Kräfte #

# Beende die Schmerzen #

# Sag nein zu allen SARS jeglicher Art #

In Afrika und auf der ganzen Welt #

Zusammen sind wir stärker,

Worin haben wir es verdient,“so zu leben!“

Wo bleiben unsere Hoffnungen!

Unsere Kräfte sind am Ende ‚

„ Unsere Hoffnungen sind gesunken und zum Schweigen gebracht.

Jedes Jahr sind alles gleichgeblieben‘

Leben volle Hoffnungslosigkeit,

„unsere Zeit „

Ich trauere um unsere Lieben,

Die wegen der Erhebung ihrer Stimmen getötet sind,

Nein zur Ungerechtigkeit, die Norm in unserer Mitte ist,

Ich wage es nicht, meine Stimme zu senken.

Unbemerkt werden wir nicht mehr bleiben wollen „

Du denkst, du hast gewonnen!

In deiner Tat? ,

der Verwendung von Dolchen um

Die Straßen mit

Unschuldigen Blut zu malen!

Die ihre Vergessene Stimmen bemerkbar machen wollten !‘

Männer der Unterwelt,

Sei nicht brutal !

Die sind unschuldige Leute ,

Die sind Bürger,

Die haben eine Stimme,

Die wollen,

Die haben es verdient gehören zu sein,

Keine soll mehr recht haben,als die andere ‚

Wir sind alle gleich im Augen Gottes ‚

Aber die haben es nochmals geschafft,

Wir werden unsere Trauer nicht verbergen,

Wir werden nicht müde sein,

Bis falsche Gesichter sich verstecken,

Der Mond ist untergegangen,

Und wird mit der Hilfe Gottes wiederauferstehen,

Trotzdem werde ich nicht schlafen,

Und nicht aufhören zu beten,

Ich werde meine Gedanken nicht zurückhalten

Um Fragen zu Stellen,

Warum?

Was ist unsere Preise!

Und was haben wir falsch gemacht,

um uns das zu rechtfertigen?

Gott hab Erbarmen!

That Nigerian youths could be met with brut force by the armed forces and shot to death for a civil protest is unimaginable but true. The world will surely not forget this day. I cry for what Nigeria has become that the blood of these youngsters may not be spilt for nothing. Rest In Peace to the old Nigeria that died with these young protesters. We can not welcome a new Nigeria because it still has to emerge. I shed tears of blood for Nigeria whose flag has been stained with the blood of her children. Forever!!!
