Nigeria disc jockey, Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, has stated that the #EndSARS protest of 2020 changed her life for worse and for better.
The activist took to her verified Instagram page on Wednesday, which marked a year after the protest, to narrate how the movement changed her life.
The DJ gained more prominence last year when she took to her Instagram page to do a live coverage that showed protesters being shot at by personnel of the Nigerian army at the Lekki Toll Gate during the #EndSARS protest that rocked the nation last year.
While most Nigerians praised her for her braveness, the DJ has claimed that she is on the run from the Nigerian government.
Sharing a video of herself on the protest day, she said, “On this day, last year 20.10.20 we were filled with hopes that young Nigerians took a solid stand.
“Through all the government’s antics, lies, counter protesters and thugs that were sent to attack us, we stood our ground!
“When the Nigerian government exhausted all their poorly planned tactics, they unleashed nothing short of evil on its citizens.
“I’ve not been able to talk today and I cannot imagine what others who had it worse, feel!
“I am so proud of our young generation of leaders and our celebrities that have shown great leadership.
“I also must say, it is not a one day affair. This is a fight for the very fabric of our nation!
“My life changed on this day… for worse! But, I also believe it changed for good! I now know what it means to need something so bad and that need for me is a better Nigeria!
“To the youths who risked it all today in order to remember 20.10.20, you are in every bit Superman/Superwoman! Thanks to @davido for an anthem to remember! #endsarsmemorial #endsars #whogavetheorder #neverpostedthisbefore” (sic)
