Nigerians Attack Governor Sanwo-Olu For Allowing Army, Police Shoot At Peaceful Protesters

Nigerians on Twitter are currently attacking Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over the killings of unconfirmed number of protesters by security operatives at the Lekki Toll Gate area of the city.

The armed security personnel were drafted to the area by the government to dislodge peaceful #EndSARS demonstrators demanding an end to police brutality and state repression.


Earlier on Tuesday, the governor had imposed an indefinite round the clock curfew in a desperate move to get protesters out of the streets.

Despite the threat by security operatives, protesters insisted on continuing their peaceful protest at Lekki Toll Gate.

It was gathered that before the shooting started, some government officials uninstalled the Closed Circuit Television cameras in the area.

The electricity at the protest area was also disconnected to prevent demonstrators from filming the attack.

“Sanwo-Olu, you will cry. You will weep. You will suffer. I don’t know how. I don’t know when,” a Twitter user wrote.

Another Twitter user, @DrOlufunmilayo wrote “The Nigerian Army was ordered to go to Lagos. The state governor switched off lights and took down CCTV. Young people unarmed were sitting on the floor singing the national anthem. Soldiers shot and killed them. Tonight, our flag is soaked in blood by Buhari and Sanwo-Olu.”

@adesinaadesola8 said, “The order of killing an unarmed democratic peaceful protester is from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu himself. What is the investigation that he wants to carry out? He has killed more than forty people at Lekki Toll Gate this night with the instruction given to soldiers.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
