S01E06 - Sแปฬ€rแปฬ€ Sรณke Generation

S01E06 - Sแปฬ€rแปฬ€ Sรณke Generation

Sแปฬ€rแปฬ€ Sรณke is a Yoruba phrase which means "Speak Up."

Over the course of 2 weeks now, Nigerian youths have taken to the streets to protest against the blatant injustice that the SARS unit of the police force have caused the citizens.

The President is yet to fully address the country, neither has he met with the demands stipulated by the protesters.

And so, it continues amidst the hijacking of the movement instigated by some saboteurs among other things.

However, the youths are unrelenting. This protest is much more than just SARS. It's the accumulation of pent up anger and frustration against the Nigerian government. And it will only continue from here on...

S01E04 - SARS/Police Brutality with Ndu Charles

S01E04 - SARS/Police Brutality with Ndu Charles

Nigeria society is gradually becoming another America with the brutality of the SARS.

It's a menace that has risen to a deplorable state and is still spiralling down to that place.

It's unfortunate that the government has done nothing to address this, neither are they particularly interested in curbing this.

There have been agitations by the citizenry, more so in recent times. Added with celebrities who are for the cause and those being cowards (coughs). But what happens when the citizens realise that there is a clause that actually permits police brutality in the Nigeria law.

Join me and Charles as we dissect this topic completely....
