Radio Goddess, Toke Makinwa has reacted to the rampant cases of police brutality in Nigeria and abroad.
According to the OAP, the brutality of the police differ from country to country; while United States police are often driven by systemic racism, Nigeria’s is a case of corruption and selfishness from people called to protect their citizens.
She said, “The problem with Police brutality/killing/oppression in Nigeria is sad because we are all on the same side, the enemy is poverty, the real enemy is corruption, and selfishness, you harass our young guys, you extort citizens trying to make a living like you? It is pathetic.”

I wonder what the generation coming after us, our kids and their kids, will there even still be a world? Everyone is just hustling to make a better life, a better chance, a better ending than their beginning, we need to teach kindness as a subject in school, we need more ❤️
