Every person who dies has a killer. For we who have died or been maimed on the Adenta-Madina stretch of the highway, our bloods know where to flow to: The Presidency, regardless of which party colours are draped round the shoulders of the person occupying it. Roads should not be made for cars’ alone but also be made for pedestrians. The pedestrian’s life matter! All lives matter!! Position footbridges right, complete abandoned footbridges, install traffic lights, paint zebra crossings, teach motorists to respect the pedestrian. Do these NOT as a favour, but because you are DUTY BOUND! It’s been almost 10 years! 200 souls lost in a year!! No more promises. #FixOurFootbridgesNow #PedestrianLivesMatter #penciledcelebrities Wordsmith: @ournanayaa

I've struggled finding the right words for this post because, there's so much that I want to say. Typing a lot might get me emotional and typing a few words would be unacceptable considering the barbaric nature of this image. ? ? I believe in two things: times and seasons. No condition they say is permanent even though it seems like a never ending nightmare for the people of color in America. ? ? The tables I believe would turn one day, and the people of color will have the choice between being RIGHT or KIND. They should pray that we choose the latter because, being KIND requires empathy, but being RIGHT, doesn’t. ? ? Today, we stop running; Today, we face our fears. Enough is enough.? ? ?? #penciledcelebrities #georgefloyd #justiceforgeorgefloyd

Self isolation, the lockdown and quarantine with our nuclear families have enlightened us more as individuals on the priorities of life.
