This photo was taken yesterday at the protests going on in the UK. It shows British police officers dealing harshly with protesters in England. They beat them with batons and set dogs on them, as well as shoot tear gas at them. In Nigeria, the police offered water to protesters and urged them to go to safe areas to protest where they could protect them.
Yet you are protesting and saying Nigeria is bad. How many times have the Nigerian police set dogs on you? Yes, things are hard. They are hard globally. However, Nigeria is not such a bad country. Much of what we get away with in Nigeria cannot be tolerated in Europe and America.
We need to encourage reevaluation of Nigeria’s reputation, suggesting it’s not as bad as perceived by many Nigerians he said the economic difficulties are global, not unique to Nigeria. What’s tolerated in Nigeria may not be acceptable in Europe or America, because of cultural and regional differences. There are challenges if we come together as one we will overcome.
