I DO NOT, I repeat I DO NOT support POLICE BRUTALITY but I said I would share some thought provoking things because there is a bigger picture here. I think the police force should join us in the fight. I’ve seen pictures of the barracks they live in with their families.
I’ve spoken to a few in confidentiality about how low they are paid and how they go months without pay but are handed guns to protect Nigerians. While our leaders in the words of @n6oflife are paid billions to show up at the senate to fall asleep. Who are the real murderers here.
They said they have ended Sars hmmm
NIGERIANS THIS IS NOT THE END. IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING
