The delightful memory of being shot at by the esteemed members of the Nigerian police force and soldiers! How could I ever forget that moment during the 2014 protest against the unjust hike in school fees at OAU? Thanks to their generous act of firing rubber bullets, one lucky student had the privilege of being hit. A memento of the Nigerian Police Force's commitment to peaceful discourse and democratic values. I salute you, officers!

My fond memories of being subjected to a brutal beating by the fearless members of FSARS in 2016. How could I ever forget the exquisite pain of their rods and machetes raining down upon me as I lay on the floor writhing in pain? Their mocking remark of"Human right" as they pummeled me was the epitome of sophistication by the police in carrying out their duty to protect and serve.

If our speeches will not penetrate their eardrums, is it not sensible to upgrade to slaps that reverberate through their eardrums? We've had strikes, occupy protests, sit-ins, stand-ins, walk-ins, etc, is it possible to have slap-ins? Like a challenge on social media streaming every oppression by a policeman while slapping them. Will that be too much? They must hear our message of protest one way or the other. We must heal our society one way or the other.

Seun Kuti should have listened to his fatherFela Kuti’s 1976 album, Ikoyi Blindness, featured a track documenting an encounter within Nigerian social context where violence is trite. The song, Gba mi leti ki n dolowo (slap me make I get money), is an encounter between an “Oga,” the quintessential big man who personifies the impunity of power, and an unnamed person who represents the disempowered masses.
