“I woke up this morning, Angry, heartbroken, and deeply unsettled.
Are we really saying that these kidnapped children are just gone?
Are we saying that nothing more can be done?
That innocent children and toddlers can vanish, and somehow the rest of us are expected to carry on as though nothing happened?
Have we become so numb to the endless reports of bandits, kidnappings, and insecurity in Nigeria that they barely move us anymore?
Is this what we’ve accepted as normal?”.
