Burna Boy – 20 10 20
One of the outspoken voices of the #EndSARS movement, Nigerian superstar Burna Boy is immortalizing the massacre of peaceful #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Plaza on the 20th of October, 2020 with a solemn piece aptly titled “20 10 20”.
It’s hard to put into words how I feel about that fateful day, now known as “Black Tuesday.” I still can’t believe the Nigerian government instructed the Nigerian Army to shoot at peaceful protesters in the heart of Lagos. At the very center of the #EndSARS protests.
One things certain: We will never forget.
