Black Lives Matter Protest Holds In Victoria Island, Lagos by ExAngel007(f): 11:09pm On Jun 01, 2020 |
Nigerians braved the rain to protest the murder of George Floyd and to call for an end to racial injustice. The protest was organised by the Black Lives Matter Movement in Nigeria (BLMMN). The convener, Josephine Okpara, stormed the streets of Victoria Island, Lagos, with other protesters. They carried placards with words such as "Black Lives Matter" and "Justice For George Floyd" written on them as they condemned the killing of African Americans in the United States of America. The protest comes after George Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes during an arrest. Speaking on behalf of the group, convener, Josephine Okpara said the US must put an end to “white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes”. Nigerians across various social media platforms were not impressed by the protest. They mentioned that we have more pressing issues in the country to protest and they criticized the protesters.

Hypocricy at its peak. Last week dozens were killed both in southern kaduna and sokoto, no protest. 12 years old was raped by 11 men (not boys), no protest. Uwa was raped & murdered, yet no protest. Im really angry/sad right now. Somebody should help me tell buhari that he's clueless. 81 Likes 2 Shares |

Mumu people. People are frequently killed in southern Kaduna, Fulani herdsmen hold sway in major places around the South and middle belt, Boko Haram is terrorising, SARS is killing innocent youths. Recently news emerged and trended #justiceforuwa , Tina too was shot by police. Among all these things you guys chose to protest against something that has no immediate effect on your society. This is why politicians never take Nigerians serious, una mumu never do. 43 Likes |

You guys are so ignorant it is unbelievable. The same Diaspora Africans helped you write and brainstormed on independence and constitution from Ghana, Nigeria to East and South Africa. Ask about Dubois in Ghana and Alexander in Nigeria. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

No social distancing as well . Instead for you lot to protest against Buhari, fulani herdsmen ,the rape cases in Nigeria and even against the scam called NDDC, you are here screaming black lives matters. I know that too well, but Nigerian lives matters the most 14 Likes |

This is really good. It shows we are in support of their struggle against the Kkk controlling everything in the country. Everyone has struggles we just have to be with one another in times of hardship. Many of us in diaspora are benefiting from the struggles black Americans had in the past. Good job! 7 Likes 3 Shares |
