We have 3 portfolio companies headquartered in Lagos. Our former Associate lives in Lagos. @faithmight has been checking on them since last week because they are young and frustrated and yet still building the future of Nigeria. Police brutality is a pandemic everywhere #endSARS #endpolicebrutalityEVERYWHERE #endbadgovernanceinnigeria 🇳🇬✊🏾 • We honor those that lost their lives yesterday, Tuesday, October 20, 2020. The significance of that 💔 @fmcapitalgrp has 3 portfolio companies headquartered in Lagos. Our former Associate lives in Lagos. I have been checking on them since last week because they are young and frustrated and yet still building the future of Nigeria. My heart breaks for my people. Police brutality is a pandemic everywhere #endSARS #endpolicebrutalityEVERYWHERE #endbadgovernanceinnigeria 🇳🇬✊🏾 • I honor those that lost their lives yesterday, Tuesday, October 20, 2020. We do this work because we believe in a better Nigeria. Young people, as we rise to power, let us remember this day. So as to FINALLY SMASH the status quo system of governance rather than succumbing to its tradition of corruption and stagnation that has impeded Nigeria’s progress since its independence. WE ARE THE CHANGE WE ARE DEMANDING. • Please follow @feminist.co @djswitch_ who are on the ground in Lagos leading this movement forward.
