The Last Moments of Occupy Nigeria Martyr Bashir Zango
This videos show a youth identified by witnesses as Bashir Zango at death's door (Please be warned that these are extremely disturbing images)
Occupy Nigeria Martyr Bashir Musa Zango
January 2012 will go down in Nigerian history as a day Nigerians proved Naysayers wrong. It will be remembered for fine speeches calling for long awaited and much hyped change, it will be remembered as the day many overcame the barrier of fear that have for long kept Nigerians in check, but it should also be remembered as the day Bashir Musa Zango was felled by police bullets.
Basir was not a criminal, neither was he on the streets of Kano with intent to harm his neighbours. The only wrong that Basir, like other young men who either paid with their lives or suffered that agony of live round striking their body at speeds faster than that of sound, committed was asking that his country be governed by the people and for the people.
Bashir Musa Zango was killed in Kano city by Goodluck Jonathan's Police, who not only failed in their duty to protect him, but fired the fatal shot that sent him to the great beyond. Bashir Musa Zango is a Martyr and his death should not be in vain.
Occupy Nigeria Martyr Ademola Aderinto
On January 9 2012, Nigerians from all walks of life again took to streets to further call on the apparently deaf government to listen to the cry of the masses. Just like before, as gruesome as can be, the Nigerian Police Force again felt it better suited their cause and that of their masters to end the life of not just one, but several Nigerian youths. The first report that citizen reporters sent our way via social media was the shooting of four unarmed protesters at
Yaya Abatan . Of the four, Ademola Aderinto paid the supreme price for his country. Social media reports also went further to show us in graphic details how a placid Ademola was first brutalised by those that were supposed to be his protectors before they summarily executed him.
One CSP Segun Fabunmi and Victor Okafor, the DPO of Pen Cinema police station driving a vehicle with registration number RS 101 LA led the team that shot and killed Ademola Aderinto after brutally torturing him on the street.

Ademola and others like him paid the price for the freed we seek. May his soul rest in peace and may his death not be in vain.
Immortalising the Heroes of the Revolution
This blog seeks to immortalise the names of those who in the course of fighting for the right to be truly free were mowed down by Nigerian security agents.
These martyrs were law abiding Nigerians; people who loved their country enough to not sit back at home and watch the downward spiral continue. Their only sin was believing they could change Nigeria for the better by exercising their right to protest, by walking their talk. Well, they braved the callousness of our inept leadership and the bloodthirsty security agents that serve to perpetuate their ill-governance and paid the supreme price.
First to fall, On January 3 2012, was Muyideen Mustafa, a young graduate marching to clear the fog that covers his future and that of millions of young men like him across the country. He Marched across the street of Ilorin, armed only with protest songs—the only weapons Nigerian protesters are allowed by law to carry—but was gruesomely murdered by people constitutionally mandated to protect him. Muyideen could have been a president, a governor, a father, a grandfather, a husband; could have been anything, but we will never know. All because itchy fingered policemen supposedly from Area “A” Division Ilorin sent him to an early grave.
