There’s a line dividing Black Lives and African Lives. We may all be black but there is a line, and it’s not transparent. Unfortunately, Africans are left to deal with their problems because there’s no racism. So when you talk about black lives matter for an African country, it seems like gibberish.

ps: this is the conclusion I made after I had a couple of conversations with people of different races. I’m speaking as a Nigerian. The #EndSARS protest you wrote about is very clear and concise, especially about the poverty part. Nigerian youths have taken it upon themselves to exclude themselves from generational poverty by starting up businesses, blogging, and other valuable things… nowadays, the youths make more money than the elders because of their literacy of technology and education, not by fraud.

Elders who are blindsided have now deemed ALL youths fraudsters when in truth, they are creatives. 80% of youths are doing very well with their hard-earned cash, many of them are seen using apple products which is actually a big thing in Nigeria. I believe SARS and their government have a very wrong approach, they have no right to treat youths the way they did. Hopefully, police brutality really ends in all parts of the world. The Nigerian protests proved that police brutality is really not a racist thing, just a bunch of old folks illegally demonstrating jungle justice. It’s shitty.

Thanks for writing, you beat me to it.
