Sometimes, it baffles me as a Nigerian youth the
deteriorating state our Society has gotten into. The present condition of this
nation promise little or no hope for the less privilege worst hit the youth
that made up of the largest population.
It is a year and some months since 219 girls were abducted
from government girls’ secondary school, chibok, Borno state. Voices have been
learned by various human-right and social-groups, with no meaningful action
taken to rescue these helpless souls.
Who will save our girls from this national agony that befell
us all? Some climes are of the opinion that, had it been that this tragedy
affected the affluence in the society, the abducted girls would have been
rescued. These girls are daughters of some parent, sisters of some people,
would be wives of some men with the ability to transform the society through
procreation of great minds that might clean-up the socio-economic and political
mess in our land. Any harm done to a girl child or woman is directly done to a
nation.
Let’s collectively work to free chiok girls, hence saving
them from ultimate death. And to the Nigerian students under the aegis of
students’ government of each school, should wake-up for the clarion-call, just
like our nationalists during the make or mar of our dear nation.
Lessons can be leant from Ferguson saga in U.S and Mexican
students who positively channeled their Aluta spirit intellectually to seek
redress and social-justice.
This write-up is painfully but prayerfully dedicated to the
abducted Chibok girls and affected families.
