20/10/2020 Never Forgotten
They said dey were stubborn, but all dey wanted was a country that breathes.
They raised dia flags not weapons.
They sang the anthem, not war songs, but dey answered peace with bullets.
That night, the sky turned red.
Dreams fell, one by one, onto the cold ground of Lekki.
Names became hashtags, and the air smelt of betrayal.
Nigerian youths the heartbeat of a dying nation lost lives, lost jobs, lost faith. Some lost families, others lost the will to believe.
And yet…some still dance for their oppressors, still clap for the same hands that pulled the trigger.
Love mixed with fear, stockholm syndrome in green and white.
But this day, 20/10/2020, will never be forgotten.
Not in dia bones,
not in dia blood,
not in the echoes of those who fell.
They may forgive, someday, but dey will never forget.
Because dia blood still whispers: Remember us.
So we remember not in silence,
but in truth, in rebellion, in the fire that refuses to die.
20/10/2020 , a wound, a warning, a wake-up call.
E no fit better for dem.
Dia Father’s.
