 Today marks a significant day in the history of Nigeria where innocent youth went out to protest for good governance and also to stop the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria police who were given a lot of power that they abuse. They use such powers to steal from innocent Nigerians and sometimes carry out extra-judicial killing. The protest was called End SARS Protest and at Lekki too gate the Lagos state government called on the Military to calm the protest but unfortunately things went south and the souls of good Nigerian youths were claimed when the military open fire on unarmed Nigerian Youth.

We had also discussed the Islamic holiday in the post, "where is my ram". It was said in the post that Eid al-ahda was also call Ileya festival in the south western part of Nigeria.
