“I am ashamed of this government. We are tired of you guys and we can’t take this anymore. I'm calling on the UK government all the leaders in the world to please see what is going on in Nigeria and help the poor citizens.

“We are calling on the UN to see to the matters. I want to call on my brothers and sisters to remain safe, be indoors and don’t come out because this government are killers and they will keep killing if the world does not talk about this.
