How #EndSars Has Gone Beyond Protest- Burna Boy

Self-proclaimed African Giant, Burna Boy who has been taking an active part in the call for #EndSars, says the protest has grown to be a revolution.

Speaking as a temporary host on ‘The Ebro Show’, a music radio show, usually anchored by Ebro Darden, an American media personality, Burna Boy said the campaign has always been a fantasy in his head, but seeing everyone come together is an indication that it is now a revolution.

During his segment of the show dubbed ‘Miseducation Radio’, the singer said Nigeria was built on human rights violation, hence the reason for brutality.

“What is happening now has always been like a fantasy in my head. But now seeing this, everybody is together, nobody is placing anyone above others, no one is leading anything, everybody is on the frontline and at the background together at the same thing,” he said.

“This is something that has never happened in the history of Nigeria. It’s a lot bigger than what it started out to as. It began as a protest but now it has become a revolution because it now goes deeper than fighting to end police brutality.”

“Nigeria was built on human rights violation so it’s hard to fix on a result of what we are built on. We should never end after #EndSARS until there is real change in the country because this is the only opportunity we have,” he said.

Speaking further, Burna Boy said he called the show, so as to correct the misinterpretation of black people all over the world.

“I called the show Miseducation radio because all our lives, we have been through a gross miseducation and there has been a deliberate misrepresentation of black people all over the world just to weaken us because knowledge is power,” he added.

“So, we are miseducated because that’s how they want us to be, that’s the default setting. Now it is the time to reeducate ourselves. It gives people the background of what they see today.”
