As protesters continue to demand an end to police brutality in Nigeria, celebrities and politicians from the world are using their platform to echo the voices of the outraged civilians. According to Reuters, the demonstrations started two weeks ago and initially focused on a police unit known as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad ( SARS ), which has been accused of extortion, harassment, torture and murders. Although SARS was disbanded on Oct. 11, protests are still demanding for law enforcement reforms. Tensions continued to escalate in the capital, Lagos, on Wednesday when soldiers opened fire on civilians, as Blavity previously reported . The public figures are increasing awareness to the ongoing demand for social justice and pressuring the government to make changes. Here are some of the responses:
Passage of the House Democrats’ far-reaching police overhaul bill returned attention to the Senate on Friday, as the divided Congress struggles to address the global outcry over the killings of George Floyd and other Black Americans.
Congress is now at a familiar impasse despite protests outside their door and polling that shows Americans overwhelmingly want changes after the deaths of Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others in interactions with law enforcement.
In the month since Floyd’s May 25 death, funeral services were held for Rayshard Brooks, a Black man shot and killed by police in Atlanta.
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only Black Republican senator, who drafted the GOP package, said Thursday that his bill is now “closer to the trash can than it’s ever been.”
Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said hundreds of thousands of people “in every state in the union” are marching in the streets to make sure Floyd “will not be just another Black man dead at the hands of the police.”
The president rejected the fact that Black people suffer disproportionately from police brutality and made startling remarks about the Confederate flag and a recent confrontation in St. Louis.

THERE are topics or subjects that are repeated for emphasis in the Bible. As a minister of the Grace of God, I also follow suit to hammer in what God wants understood very well. I'm by no means saying that there are portions in the Bible that God doesn't want to be understood. By way of example if you check the words sin and forgiveness in the Bible and find out that the number of their mention differs, please pay close attention. devotion column:Erasmus Makarimayi Sometimes I am so puzzled by readers’ concerns that the grace message will deprive them of their place in heaven. The feedback comes from varied positions. On one end there are those who are genuinely seeking knowledge of the truth. Some are passionately ignorantly seeking to please God by self righteousness. There are others who are arrogantly in error. Satan has blinded the minds of some, whereas others have been cornered by religion. In all this, we all need the grace of God, which is the crux of the Gospel. The venom of religion is to keep people away from Jesus seeking to qualify them by self effort and vain philosophies. That’s why Christianity isn’t religion but a family relationship; a fellowship or communion of God the Father and His children in Christ Jesus. The Bible makes it clear that Jesus is our only hope to God. John 14:6 declares, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' Please don’t ever allow law and traditions to block you from Jesus. Going or not going to heaven as others prefer or receiving eternal life or remaining in death lies in accepting or denying Jesus. Jesus kept the law for us to believe Him and be made right with God in Him (Jesus). Galatians 2:16 teaches, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified”. No matter how hard you may try to keep the law, it will not justify you. Romans 3:20 supports, “Therefore, by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin”. Don’t chase the wind, seek Jesus. The purpose of the law was to introduce us to Jesus and lead us away from it (law) to Him. Galatians 3:24 points out, “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” In realising human frailties and shortcomings we’re drawn to seek Jesus, the ultimate plan of God. Unfortunately there are some who have been hardened in zeal without knowledge to please God by trying something that God dissuaded us from. Let nothing hide Jesus away from you. Let’s add flesh to our study by looking at Jesus’ words. Matthew 5:20,27-28 record, “[20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. [27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of
