Popular singer, Banky W, has urged folks to show active interest in making changes in society.
Against the backdrop of the killing of Black American George Floyd by a white cop, he reflected that killings were everywhere, including Nigeria.
The vices, he said in an online post on Thursday, demanded more than passive responses.
He noted:
“Bad news everywhere, all the time. It’s exhausting. My only suggestion: please try and DO something to make your part of the world a little better. Be part of SOMETHING GOOD that is bigger than yourself. Volunteer, donate, serve. Do something. Anything. Please.
“So much darkness. So much violence and hatred. We’ve heard of people being killed so much, we’ve become numb to it. Different day, different victims, same story, same hashtags. “Thoughts and Prayers for… (insert victim or city name here). #BlackLivesMatter #RIPGeorgeFloyd
“This world is exhausting. In America, it’s racism – white cops killing unarmed black people. In Nigeria, where we share the same skin colour, it’s tribalism & genocide. Every other week there’s another story of mass murder; Kaduna today, Jos tomorrow. So much hatred. I am tired.
“#DontJustTweet Be a part of something that is bigger than yourself.. something that means more than your personal chase for success. Volunteer/Donate/Serve… somewhere/someone/anywhere/anyone in need. Play your part in putting some good back in this world. Tweets are not enough.”
