All idiots are morons, but not all morons are idiots.
It was the
International Women's Day 2021 recently and the theme was 'Choose to Challenge'. So today
I choose to challenge us, the people of Nigeria, hoping that someone is reading
and listening, a quick caveat, I will be sometimes uncomplimentary in my choice
of words, phrases and conclusions but that’s the essence; a challenge and yes a
choice.
*Leah Sharibu
Over the
last decade, I have done a sizable amount of work on not just Boko Haram but
also the Chibok girls, killings, abductions and Nigeria’s conflict torn
Northwest region.
So
listening to Leah Sharibu’s father, Mr. Nathan speak touched all the wrong
cords, hear him, “He has promised several times to the family, he promised the
nation, he promised the whole world that his administration will do his
possible best to see that my daughter returned home safely. So, I’m pleading to
him to be a father, a grandfather, to do his possible best to see my daughter
return home safely. Please, I'm begging him”.
