There Is Racism In Nigeria – Adodo Eddy Osaman

Adodo Eddy Osaman, Nigerian Training Specialist in Canada and an Advocate for Education and Youth Development, has come out to react to racism and rape in Nigeria.

Adodo simply revealed that the pandemic, the death of George Floyd, and the death of Uwa and other victims of racism, rape, and social injustice will forever change the dynamics of the world.

According to him, people should not feel like there is no racism in Nigeria because tribalism is another form of racism we battle in our nation.

He added that parents and families refusing marriages between their children because the other person is from another tribe has to end as soon as possible.

His words, ”All over the world, there’s a lot of chaos and pain. In the western world, there’s racism, police brutality and discrimination. In Africa you see cases of rape on the rise with discrimination against the female folk and inequality in the society.

“While you see people being wrongly profiled and brutalized by the police from one end, you see rape and minors being defiled on the other.”

“The pandemic, the death of George Floyd and the death of Uwa and other victims of racism, rape and social injustice will forever change the dynamics of the world. Things will never remain the same anymore.”

“While we as Nigerians talk about racism in the western world, we should never forget that there is infact racism within our country. Tribalism in itself is a form of racism. We still see parents and families refusing marriages between their children because the other person is from another tribe. These things have to stop! We should be wiser by now!”

“I have several friends and agencies from several parts of the world who have been on the cause for the fight against racism, rape, social injustice and discrimination – amongst them is Jo Mittermeir (Germany), Anuoluwapo Eunice (USA), Precious Oruche (Nigeria), Odunze Ebere (Nigeria), Future Africa Initive, The Heritage Project (Nigeria), Prestigious Talkshow (Canada) and many more.

“These are people and agencies from several backgrounds, some of whom are not even black people at all. Some are working so hard to end racism, whilst others are fighting against rape, social injustice and discrimination in our communities. Even Governments and CEOs of Multinational Corporations have risen to stand for the Black Movement as well.

“We all know that the Mayor of Washington DC (Muriel Bowser) made a section of the road leading to the White House to be painted “Black Lives Matter” and that that section of the road has been renamed to “Black Lives Matter Plaza”.
