I, (your name), am adding my voice with over 60 million Young Nigerians who organically adopted SORO SOKE as an identifier in 2020, borne out of End SARS (police brutality) protest before the publication of Trish Lorenz's 2022 Soro Soke,
ask that you retract her book claim where she said that she is the one that named young Nigerians Soro Soke generation. This is untrue & reeks of white savior and unfair cultural appropriation complex, historical to Africa & Nigeria.
Some folks are asking me the secret in being selected for the DAAD scholarship. So I will do a thread for it and tell you my losses too. It was a sweet story from day one.
I got in to do a post-graduate studies in Development Studies as a 2019 Mandela Rhodes Scholarship awardee in South Africa last year. It was Bachelor Honours. I knew I needed another scholarship for my masters.
So I had 2 challenges:
Graduate top of my class cos I knew I needed every good grade to advance my scholarship quest.
Get another scholarship.
Last year was my first time of living outside Nigeria. So I had a very huge health challenges with Cape Town cold weather.
