Excellent piece bro.
"Genocide" is a little strong and incorrect to use for this, even though I've seen a lot of people using that term. "Massacre" is more accurate. The difference is the fact that the soldiers fired indiscriminately into the crowd and made no distinction between any of the ethnic groups. In a genocide, they would target a particular group only.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there. The important and horrific detail is that the Nigerian government ordered the military to open live fire on peaceful protesters on Nigerian soil. That in itself is a breach of all kinds of global conventions related to rules of engagement and crimes against humanity.
The other thing that really brings this so close to home for me is this. A Hivian, much like yourself, who is a young person with a presentable appearance, would be their prime target. Imagine sitting in a cafe with your friends writing a Hive post, or shooting a 3Speak video and SARS rolled up on you. You'd have committed all the top "crimes"in their eyes. You're making money from the Internet, you Yahoo-Yahoo boy you! And crypto? "What's that? Is that like Bitcoin?". Was it you that told me some of those animals were carrying bitcoin wallets to extort crypto traders they find?
So they refuse to provide an environment where the youth can thrive, no jobs no opportunities. The youth then go out to make their own way, and that's a crime too?
Bloody ridiculous!!!

Bro, I always get weird stares whenever I talk about crypto. It's exhausting, to say the least. This place is fucking up my mental health.
