On October 20th 2020, the Nigerian army opened fire on unarmed peaceful protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate. Despite eye witnesses and an overwhelming amount of video evidence, the Nigerian army have denied the attack. President Buhari when addressing the nation 48hrs after the attack failed to even acknowledge it happened. On this episode, Nicole Asinugo speaks to writer and poet, Ijeoma Umebinyuo about the failure of the country in contrast to the strength and hope of the Nigerian youth. #ENDSARS
