Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari this evening finally addressed the nation amidst all of the protests, killings, and tyranny that has happened since the #EndSars protest begun.
Nigerians everywhere were waiting on bated breath to finally hear from our leader who has been very noticeably quiet throughout this entire ordeal.

Personally, when 7 o'clock hit, I ran to my television screen to watch exactly what our president would say but I'm not going to lie, after the speech ended, I couldn't believe that that was all of it.
