Dear Verydarkblackman,
I had sincerely expected that by now, you would have taken the next available flight back to Nigeria.
I say this because this is bigger than a trending topic. This is bigger than social media conversations. This is about innocent children and teachers who reportedly left for school and never made it back home. It is about parents who go to bed every night with tears in their eyes, wondering where their children are and what they may be going through.
Over the years, you have shown Nigerians that when issues of injustice arise, you do not just lend your voice from afar—you show up. You have stood with victims, visited communities, and drawn national attention to issues many would have otherwise ignored. That is why I believe your presence in Nigeria at this critical moment would speak louder than a hundred videos made from abroad.
For the sake of humanity, I believe your engagements in China can wait. There will always be business meetings. There will always be conferences. But these children do not have the luxury of time. Every additional day in captivity is another day of fear, uncertainty, and trauma for them and their families.
Imagine the mother who cannot sleep because her child's bed is empty. Imagine the father who feels powerless because he cannot protect his own child. Imagine the siblings who keep asking, "When is my brother coming home? When is my sister coming home?"
These are the realities many families are facing right now.
VDM, your return will not solve this problem overnight, but it will send a powerful message that these children matter, that they have not been forgotten, and that Nigerians are united in demanding their safe and unconditional release.
Please come home.
Come and stand with the parents.
Come and lend your physical presence to this cause.
Come and help keep the spotlight on these children until they are safely reunited with their families.
We need every voice. We need every platform. We need every form of lawful pressure.
And at this moment, Nigeria needs you here.
