A day after Black Tuesday at Lagos Lekki Toll gate, Nigerian Youths continue their protest

Nigerian Youth are in pain and seek retaliation against symbols of state power 

A government that continuously brutalizes and lies to its people loses its legitimacy to rule in the eyes of the governed. 

Nigerian government public statements to the press and international community a day after the bloody

killings at Lekki toll gate, falsely claims that only a few people were injured in the crackdown on unarmed youths, but the facts speak for itself. The youths are defying the curfews and the use of force against them and feel a sense of pain as well as empowerment. Many have directed their anger and pain against symbols of state oppression like police stations, TV stations affiliated with politicians, bus terminals and even the toll gate where their friends were killed.

Even though the government is appealing for calm, there is a feeling and need by many youth to revenge the death of their fiends in the hands of the government.
