To commemorate the 4th anniversary of the #EndSARS movement, Burna Boy delivered a poignant tribute during his recent performance at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Recalling the tragic events of October 20, 2020, he dedicated a song to the victims of the Lekki Massacre, saying, “Four years ago, on October 20th, 2020, a lot of people were killed, and this is for them.”
The #EndSARS movement, which aimed to end police brutality and bad governance in Nigeria, was marked by violence and bloodshed. Burna Boy’s emotional performance served as a powerful reminder of the lives lost and the ongoing quest for justice and accountability, ensuring that the sacrifices of the victims are not forgotten.

shaweel: Africa will remian subjugated as long as we remain disoriented and disillusioned that we have countries designed for our well being. In contrast what exist on Africa territories and minds are colonial orchestration designed for perpetual suppression ,subjugation for collective explicitation . The sysem was designed to funnel our enormous human and mineral resources to benefit the colonisers,. Over time , Africans started challenging the status qou especially after witnessing and participating in their conflicts tagged world wars. Then, they converted the colonial setup from direct control to proxy control, where t”he plantation is on autorun” not that colonisation was reversed; inguise of independence from the dependence they imposed on us, where a few the people raise to managing the colonial establishments and join the beneficiary of the expliotation of their peoples. Until 21st century Africans realize the hold on us hidden in plain sight , #undoberlinconference1885 and ##redefineafrica in our diverse country away from colonial definition of who we are , for true cohesion to act in unison nothing will change and we ill continue passing the mess designed and institutions in our minds and territories to successive generation as intended by the colonisers..
