A boy from Borno state, Bashir Tijani, captured in a striking photo fearlessly standing in front of a moving police van, protesting against hunger and the general hardship in the country, has been gifted the sum of N1m and a school scholarship, by a Nigerian comedian, Agozi Samuel.

The viral image which was captured on the first day of the  #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest, resonated bravery with Nigerians, nationwide.

When Tijani was asked in Hausa language what gave him the boldness to come before police officers without the fear of being shot or wounded by them, he said it’s because of the hunger and lack of jobs in the nation.

In a video posted by Arewa Blog, he said, “I came out to protest because of hunger, the government’s inability to provide jobs, and I was not afraid of being arrested by the police.”
