Nigeria is one country where scandals break at the speed of light. As a public commentator, you can hardly keep pace.
On May 15, terrorists raided three schools in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, abducting 46 people, including 39 schoolchildren. The victims, who include seven teachers and a toddler, have spent almost two months at God knows where. Two teachers were killed – one of them during the raid while the other, Mr. Michael Oyedokun, a mathematics teacher, was beheaded in captivity.
On the same day, terrorists struck in Borno State, whisking away more than 50 schoolchildren from Mussa Central Primary and Junior Secondary Schools in Askira-Uba Local Government Area. Most of the children are below the age of 10. Despite the initial outrage, Nigerians have moved on as they are wont to do.
