Every time I see news of innocent school children being kidnapped, my heart breaks in ways words cannot fully explain.
Imagine a child leaving home with a school bag, excited to learn, only for fear, tears, and uncertainty to replace their dreams. Imagine the pain of parents who cannot sleep, mothers crying silently in the middle of the night, fathers pretending to be strong while breaking inside. No parent deserves the torture of not knowing if their child is safe.
Children are supposed to be in classrooms, not in forests. They are supposed to be learning mathematics, reading books, laughing with friends, and dreaming about becoming doctors, teachers, engineers, and leaders of tomorrow not living in fear of kidnappers.
This is not just another news headline. These are human lives. These are peopleâs sons and daughters. These are dreams hanging in uncertainty.
Nigeria cannot continue to normalize pain.
We cannot keep acting shocked every election season and then forget everything when it is time to vote. Security, education, the future of our children these things matter. The tears of parents matter. The safety of innocent school children matters.
Come 2027, I beg every Nigerian: please do not sell your vote.
That small money they give today cannot wipe away the tears of tomorrow. Hunger may be temporary, but bad leadership can damage a nation for years. A vote is not just paper it is power. It is the future of our children. It is the difference between fear and hope.
Think of the children. Think of the parents praying for their safe return. Think of the Nigeria we want.
Let us stop trading our future for temporary gain.
May every kidnapped child return home safely. May healing come to grieving families. And may Nigeria become a place where children can go to school without fear.
