American singer Alicia Keys has urged Nigerians not to give up and cease making effort in their quest to knock out injustice and other systems designed to oppress them.
The award-winning artiste sent the strong motivational message to Nigerians after widespread reports of brutality and extrajudicial killings before and during protests against bad governance and poor policing system in Nigeria.
However, after the protests was hijacked by thugs and what was described as “lack of empathy with the speech delivered by President Muhammadu Buhari”, 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.
Here is her message to Nigeria reads: “We are the people
We are the power
WE are who we need
We are showing up
Police brutality is a global pandemic
And we WONT accept it or normalize it
IT MUST END
The mentality that allows it to exist must be deconstructed
We will reimagine
And recreate the world around us
We are the people
We are the power
WE are who we need
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
Your light is needed
Your love is needed
Your ideas and strategies and songs and paintings and presence is needed
We are who we need….
We wont Alicia
We no go free o
