DAPCHI – Tragedy of a Nation

-

You know, if I come down harsh on Buhari, what will it achieve? Nothing. If I jump on him, tear his clothes and scratch his face, I will just join the statistics in one of our prisons thereby not achieving anything. So I will just do the next best thing which is to take his picture and be saying what is really on my mind. So over 100 of our girls are missing once again and we are doing APC NEC meeting amongst other mundane government activities? You know when you are so hurting, you just sink into what I want to call heretic laughter. You will just be laughing at the wall while tearing up inside. What kind of country is this na? Once you think you have seen the worse something else happens. How can these people anytime they just feel like or need ‘wives’ will just enter any school and pick our young children and go. We are supposed to have the largest and most powerful Army in black Africa o, we have been spending real money in acquiring weapons and Jets o and our soldiers are walking around with well starched uniforms, feeling proud of themselves and be doing power man for bus top and yet we cannot protect the vulnerable in the society. Kai, how can this keep happening and the regularity and ease is really heart rendering. Police will now be stopping me at Ojuelegba and be asking me for ‘particular’ when they cannot stop this. For me, the army and police from the highest to the lowest should stop wearing their Caps until every one of those girls are returned safely home. Me, I will no longer greet, pay for food, smile or even talk to any soldier till these girls are returned. As I no fit shout na, that na my own silent protest. Abeg, enough is enough. We are not interested in press statements or buck-passing, just go get the girls; period. Buratai, this is to you. Thank you Sir.
