European author Trish Lorenz falsely claims she named #EndSARS movement ‘Soro-Soke’ in Cambridge interview
European journalist and author Trish Lorenz has falsely claimed christening young Nigerian protesters “Soro-Soke”, a Yoruba phrase that gained popularity during the 2020 #EndSARS protests against decades of police brutality in Nigeria.
Documenting the struggles of young Africans in her new book, titled Soro Soke: The Young Disruptors of an African Megacity, Ms Lorenz claimed the outspokenness and brazenness Nigerian youths displayed in the nationwide #EndSARS protests prompted her to name them the “Soro-Soke generation.” Soro-Soke is a Yoruba term that means speak up.
