Her tweet read: #WeAreTired of senseless killings, lorries falling on road and killing passengers, ACs catching fire and burning houses, young girls getting raped, young boys killed by SARS no jobs for graduates.
“Please add your own frustration because my list is long.
“We are tired of saying the same thing our parents, grand parents, great grand parents have been saying about Nigeria.”
Her tweet is coming at a time where Nigerians have also taken to their social media pages lamenting over the death of a female student of University of Benin, UNIBEN, in Edo State, Vera Uwaila Omozuwa.
