Our Parents faced humiliation, discrimination and marginalization in the hands of the #NigerianState.

I wouldn’t want to blame them for not communicating their plights to us, their children. Perhaps they preferred us to Journey through life in Nigeria with Open hearts and 1/3
without any form of prejudice.

This came with its own shortfalls as it left us more Vulnerable bcos as we interacted with open minds and childlike hearts, Institutionalized hatred was consolidated against us, the #IGBO.

Breaking loose from the systemic subjugation has become
one Herculean task that we MUST accomplish regardless of the price we pay.

As we do, We must intentionally transfer our story ~ the truth, to our children.

The Profiling, the pogroms,
massacres, Arson, disenfranchisement, arbitrary arrests, tortures, disappearances etc.
