Just a week ago, the Nigeria Police Force was forced into complete pandemonium following the Anti-SARS protest nationwide. Citizens of the Giant of Africa in blatant dejection erupted in a clamour for justice as they couldn't compromise on their safety owning to the inappropriate actions of the police.

All activities around the nation were on hold as the youth took to the streets to express their discontent with the brutal police unit.

The mass protest gained widespread attention as the derogatory remarks of most celebrities towards lousy governance in the nation left a sour taste in the mouths of non-Nigerians.

While some youth marched in huge numbers to protest grounds, some were fanning the flames on Twitter while others called on public attention from influential personalities. Every person tried their possible best to support the movement against police brutality, and graphic designers weren't left out.

One of them whose general appellation, Osedesigns connotes he was/is a graphic designer brought his skill to proper use by using pictures of protest scenes to recreate an inspiring image.

The main highlight of the picture was that it contained Aisha Yesufu stretching her arms into the air while wailing with a crowd behind her. Although she is a middle-aged activist, Osedesigns used her to symbolise the Nigerian youth sending a special message that they have awoken.

The image shared on Twitter quickly gained public attention as it got tons of retweets, likes, and comments a few moments after posting.

What made the image stand out from others created by various Photoshop designers despite his unparalleled adept for it was due to the concise message the edited picture entailed at its extremity - "THE SLEEPING GIANTS (YOUTH) WOKE."

In response to various demands by fans and other graphic designers, Osedesigns who runs a Youtube design class released a 2-minute video of how he put together fragments of various pictures to send a strong message into one. From the video, he used six images to form the masterpiece coupled with other Photoshop effects.

In the video's intro as screenshotted above, it started with a speech, we believe to be of his which read, "I have never been this emotional over a design. I actually cried after I made this design; an eye shed a tear of sorrow and pain 4 all we've been through, and the other a tear of hope just like the flame in the pix.

"The giants are awake and we are never going back to sleep again.

"I hope this means to u as much as it means to me.

"I am not a criminal.

"I am a graphics designer.

What do you think about the picture? Was it the best design image you saw from the protest?

As surprising it may sound for some football and non-football fans, two Nigerians graced the game in today's FA Cup clash between The Red Devils & The Canaries of Norwich.

The first and most prominent Nigerian was the Man Utd Centre Forward, Odion Ighalo.

With key players on the bench at the outset of the game, Solskjær gave the player from Shangai Shenhua on loan the opportunity to participate in the game. Ighalo led the team's forward squad with assistance from Jesse Lingard & Bruno Fernandes.

As you may know, he gave a classic poacher's strike at the 51st minute after receiving a pass from Mata, but unfortunately, Todd Cantwell equalized it in the 75th minute.

On the other hand, the second Nigerian on the pitch was Adam Uche Idah fondly known as Adam Idah.

Adam Idah being an Irish-born Nigerian was contrastingly on the bench for the Norwich City side throughout the game. The youngster signed a contract with the professional club on 4th July 2019 which would last till 2023.

Although playing only for The Republic of Ireland's junior national team all his life, Adam Idah still has a chance to play for the Super Eagles. Being just 19 years of age, he hasn't played for any national senior team before, and we hope his options are still open to play football for the African giants.

You said it's Racism ,I am not denying too, yet you and Hamilton are the Richest sportsperson in the whole of UK. Maybe racism allowed you to thrive then.

See he's fighting against racism the best way he can and you should not use your cynical reasons to start disturbing everywhere on Nairaland.
Regardless of age, skin colour, race or religion if you're good at what you do you're gonna reap something good from it. So u expect an Heavyweight champion to be receiving meagre allowances before you know that there aren't still racist right?
Even the most paid sportsman last decade (Floyd Mayweather) is also black so the idea that a black man paid well shouldn't be against racism should be completely ruled out here

Na normal thing na...
Ever since Zukky Fresh took over Whatsapp he has strongly discouraged the use of other Whatsapp Mods like GB Whatsapp and FM Whatsapp
He also discouraged the use of third-party apps like the one marketers use to send messages to thousands of people in a short time.
