Soro Soke With Your Full Chest


What a time to be a Nigerian youth, what a time indeed to be alive.
The past week has seen Nigerian youth in their most unified form, speaking up, walking the walk and seeking the exact same thing, an end to police brutality and the devil's arm of the Nigerian police force known as SARS.

The slang "Soro Soke" was originated by popular Yoruba actress Toyin Afolayan also known as Lola Idije. The phrase means "Speak Louder", the slang got viral on Twitter when a fan wrote it on one of FC Bayern Munich's post and has now become one of the most famous slangs used in the ongoing protest by Nigerian youths.


I am extremely proud of the progress of my generation, the so-called "lazy youth" have made. For years the Nigerian government have lotted, embezzled funds, trampled on the constitutional right of the citizens and did so, with so much recklessness, showing no concern how their actions and inaction affects the lives of people.

While this protest stemmed from a need to end police brutality, it is evident that it is slowly leading into a revolution, as the call for the total reform of the country has begun.

Now, the people have found their voice and it will take a lot to quiet them. The youth have awakened, rising like the sun on a new day. 


"Soro Soke" with your full chest is for those sitting on the fence, those who are afraid to speak up against the evil happening in the nation for different reasons. Many religious houses who were quick to speak about the 5G propaganda are nowhere to be found, several artists, movie makers and twitter activist are silent on the matter because they are sometimes funded by people in power who of course have embezzled from the nation.

"Soro Soke" with your full chest is a call for more support from everyone in a place of affluence and influence to join the protest via various means, on the road, online and other platforms.

Speak up, speak louder, let's reform Nigeria.

Now You Know Life.

The beauty of being a child is not knowing responsibility. Your survival is not in your hands, neither is the survival of your loved ones. You simply exist! At the stage of adolescence, you roam with pride of quick knowledge. You think you are wiser and "woke" compared to your parent or guardian. Time and again, you get into situations that give you the false feeling of independence and responsibility towards decisions that affect you; how you want to dress, the name you'd rather go by, the hairstyle that befits the contour of your face, the friends you keep. These and more create a falsehood of the knowledge of life and all that it entails. But isn't life humbling to those who think they know it all? A step into adulthood is the most exciting, yet horrific reality an individual can face depending on several circumstances. You have gone from knowing it all, to being plainly confused. Now there are expectations and responsibilities you might not have been warned about ...

I've Raised A Legend: An Open Letter To My Sister.

 So on Saturday, the 19th of September 2020, my younger sister graduated from high school. I have had several proud moments of her but I think this one excites me the most. Comfort, my sister spent 6 years in Holy Child College, Ikoyi, Lagos state and came out as one of the best graduating students as well bagging the award of "Neatest Student", an award she was won three times amongst others. This graduation was supposed to happen earlier in the year but thanks to the Corona virus pandemic, not only was it delayed, but it was also low key with the school allowing just one parent to represent their child or ward. Being the cool sister that I am, she chose me to represent her, (yeah, I'm cool like that). But the unique thing about her set is that this is the second pandemic they are witnessing in their lifetime. This graduating set were also affected by the Ebola pandemic which hit Nigeria in the year 2014 and of course, their academic session was also affected. (legends i...
