Sorosoke is a Yoruba coinage that means ‘Speak Out Loud’

These theme perfectly represents the average Nigerian situation, we are not able to speak out for the fear of being harmed. We are being oppressed by authorities we’ve voted into office and to whom salaries are being paid from our taxes. We’ve realize how much bad we’ve wrecked by speaking lowly hence the need to Sòròsókè.
