Nigerian superstar Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu popularly known in the showbiz circle as Burna Boy recently revealed that ENDSARZ has now become a revolution.
The renowned secular musician made this known on the 19th October, 2020 in an interview on the BBC 1XTRA Rap show. He explained to the world how the #EndSars protest became a revolution in Nigeria.
While still at it, Burnaboy told Tiffany Calver, of BBC that he was shocked by the way things unfolded at the Lekki toll gate axis of the protest in the country.
"It is shocking when you see it happen in that place, in such a place, that was the landmark of everything. The Lekki Toll Gate, was the most peaceful place to protest, the most peaceful venue in the whole country and then that is the place where [the shootings] happen. It is not something that you can just wrap your head around," he said.
He further went on to say that the ongoing countrywide demonstrations against SARS have altered the nature of politics in Nigeria. “This is the most important moment in Nigeria's history... that is what we are witnessing right now because if nothing changes after this, if this doesn't work, then it is over," he said. "Look at what is going on right now: the youth have come together, like something explainable (sic), something that no one man could have possibly organized or led, the youth of the largest black nation in the world came together, said enough is enough and this was triggered by police brutality."
