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.

See casting... "and of course Minnesota"

I dedicate this place of most valuable comment to all glo users...

Mtcheww....all this notice me protesters.

Hehehe.....I have finally seen it all!
If only they can put the same energy into fighting tribalism in their own country.....if only...

Hypocrisy at its peak. Do they Think any American will hear of their protest 74 people were killed in kastina recently and nobody has protested about that. Them wan just De follow other countries wey get whites and blacks together protest. I'm sure most of them there have never seen a white person except on TV.

Black lives matter in America but not in Nigeria. Mumu people

Holy grail

Useless set of nonentities... Notice me people, una never finish talk about our own country wahala na to carry America own... Rubbish.





Person house dey burn e leave am go dey chuk mouth another person talk

Bunch of jokers

'' 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

Imagine this attention seeking mofo cum notice-me-convener issuing directive to US while her country burns to ashes.... Girls are being rape here on a daily, Herdsmen are offering Kastina/Kaduna indigenes as burnt-offering, Police are maiming Law abiding citizens everyday.... Yet your hypocritical attention is on US....


Who did this to Nigeria?

Joblessness everywhere

Nigerians are comedians, I tell you.

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.

Idiots !! Over 200 Nigerians have been killed in Sokoto and Kaduna in the last one week and these ones are instead protesting for an American whose killer has already been arrested and is facing the law ...Thunder faya all of them dia

Nigerians with busy body,we have many problems in this country,Sara harassment,rape, unemployment and insecurity,etc the didn't see any of that to protest against

Misplaced priorities

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.

Not even #christianlivesmatters #Benuelivesmatters
how i wish thunder wey dey follow the rain fire.

IDIOTS

E no go better for all of them .. like say we no get our own issues left unaddressed.. Dem go sha dey do anything to trend.. so that we will think they care.. awon we re

lol what happened to #justiceforuwa#

Hungry people

See me see trouble
Ipob
Shiits
You did not protest

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.

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

If you have a problem with it, lead the right protest or STFU.

There are far more issues on your soil deserving of protests.
Why not protest the rape of Omozuwa if you are looking for work ?

Is it Black Lives Matter....or Black Live Matter?

It is a good show of solidarity, in form, but the subtstance is a ridicule.

Josephine, go to Abuja and protest to tell Buhari Nigerian Lives Matter, biko nu.

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!

Screw the kkk, white power my arse

I’m so ashamed to be a Nigerian. We r our own problem not government. Nigerians are worse than any kind of natural disaster !!
