From the assassination of Tina, a 16-year-old Nigerian girl, to the murder and assault of Uwa, a student at Benin State University, to the deliberate murder of George Floyd, an American citizen, the world makes me sick. I keep seeing protests from many places in response to terrible killings. I'm in anguish, my heart bleeds, and I have nightmares about people demonstrating. I read sorrowful words everyday, people are bitter and I see lots of tears and agony on the media.
Uwa, who went to church and was violated, perished in a place she would have termed a safe place, while George Floyd, who was reportedly implicated, was killed by a police officer who is a core racist and definitely had him as a target. I can't help but scream in my brain; it's far too much; how much longer will this last?
