The situation in the country is so awful that I am merely doing this post to try to capture it in words. It makes no more sense now than it did before.
Day in, day out we are faced with newer battles, newer challenges, newer preys targeting us, our children and our future.
It's been over a hundred days since our Chibok girls were kidnapped (and several others since then), yet we stay hoping against hope that they will be brought back in one piece and not in parts.
Daily we deal with cold-blooded murder of men and kidnap of women and children by Boko Haram terrorists up North, yet no positive action occurs.
Armed robbers rob daily and the only justice they get are the jungle sort as we seem to have lost complete faith in our legal system.
Daily the numbers of rape victims are growing, with no seeming assistance from the government to help curb it.
Now Ebola has come upon us, it could have been prevented and avoided but alas........
Fire. Call the fire service. "No water, no fuel", they say. Now it's all gone to ashes.
Female suicide bombers. So young. Really, BokoHaram, really???
No thanks to the recent rains, the sham-of-roads our duly elected have placated us with last season have now been washed away.
The cost of food stuff is on a rise no thanks, especially, to the crisis up North.
I could go on, but I will stop for now.
When will it all end? When?
Heart breaking
ReplyDeleteIndeed Arome, but we will survive. We must.
DeleteWe can't loose hope....through the fire metal is forged..we will come out better on the other side of this issues....better days ahead....i refuse to see the depressing side of all this cos as much as so much negative issues arise daily there are little spots of brightness in the gloom and that's what I accept and hold on to....
ReplyDeleteYour words are encouraging. We must never give up hope in the face of adversities. Thank you. :)
