Popular American vocalist and instrumentalist, Alicia Keys has urged Nigerians not to give up on the #ENDSARS struggle.
This is coming after widespread reports of brutality and extrajudicial killings before and during protests against bad governance and poor policing system in Nigeria made the rounds globally.
However, after the protests was hijacked by thugs and what was described as “lack of empathy from Aso Rock”, some Nigerians took to social media to express their desires to seek greener pastures in other countries.
But Alicia Keys recently used her platform to tell them not lose focus and stay hopeful of a better Nigeria that they desired.
She wrote:
My love goes out to Nigeria, America and everywhere in the world that is fighting to change the systems designed to oppress! #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutality
#BlackLivesMatter
Don’t give up
Stay hopeful
We are needed
You light is needed
Your love is needed
We are who we need…
