Whether you're sitting down at home, sending one million Sango thunders to our present politicians, carrying placards on the street, or sending fuuuundzzz behind the scenes like our pink-haired DJ revealed as she replied to aunty Chidinma's tweet.
You have become a part of something bigger than you. It's what I've been dreaming of all my life, and I cannot even believe I am here to see it!
Lagos state governor thought he was getting a few words into our ‘coconut heads’ until one loudspeaker started blasting "be like you don dey talk too much, small talk you don dey talk who talk: FEM!! Omo! they've lied to us all our lives, they failed us before we were even conceived, and now, they want to talk? FEM! It's how these politicians keep coming up with lies and excuses that have spurred Nigerian youths to action. Did you ever think you will see the day people in Nigeria post phones and wallets online so that these things can return to their rightful owners? I never did.
They no longer have to go to far back as Funmilayo Ransome Kuti ( whom should be known for more than just being 'the first woman to drive a car in Nigeria btw, *slaps head emoji* sigh), now there's you, and there's me, there are Aisha Yesufu and Wizkid (lmao, Wizkid in the history books, wake me up lord!), there's Ogbenni Dipo and Aproko Doctor, Mo'chievois and FK Abudu, to fill up the pages of Nigeria's history books as people who fought for 'the Nigeria' that these old Eagles promised but couldn't deliver.
I never thought I would live to see when Nigerian youths will change the dirty narrative they've tagged us with. If you're still wondering what this is all about, let me tell you something; it's obvious this will not stop at just one hashtag; Nigerian youths will bring down the sky if that's what it takes for them to get the blinding bright future our fathers promised. Buhari might soon begin to regret why he ever cried on National TV for the opportunity to rule our country. I guess he thought he was coming for a vacation, lol. Oga, you've been silent for too long, Sorosoke! Na now, you start work.
The revolution has just begun. After this hashtag, we create another. What are we asking for? Nothing special; just our fundamental rights as citizens of a country we call home. We meeeuvvee!
