I am Zakzaky. I am different.

I am not Sunni. I am not Shia. I am not Christian.

So will you kill me or will you fight for me?

I am Zakzaky. I am different.

I am not Hausa. I am not Yoruba. I am not Igbo. I am not Fulani.

Will you kill me or will you fight for me?

I am Zakzaky. I am different.

All my life I have always been discriminated against and persecuted by the army and authorities.

Will you kill me or will you fight for me?

I am Zakzaky. I am different.

Sometimes I protest.

Sometimes I carry sticks and stones after you killed my family and did not even say sorry the previous year.

So will you kill me or will you fight for me?

I am Zakzaky.

I protest and tell you I won’t allow you advance your siege on my house and kill my family again and demolish my freedoms again, once again; you might as well just kill me here as I defend my family.

I am Zakzaky.

Will you kill me or will you fight for me?

I am Zakzaky.

You come and embrace me and pray with me when you need votes and kill me and dig out my grave as soon as you win.

I am Zakzaky.

Will you kill me or will you fight for me?

I am Zakzaky. I am different.

Though in many lands, you are a minority, I am a minority in this land.

Will you kill me or will you fight for me?

Only God knows tomorrow, but today, #IAmZakzaky.

Will you kill me or will you fight for me?
