Malala's Letter To The Chibok Girls

Well over two hundred girls were carelessly lost to Boko Haram insurgents exactly a year and two day ago.

Gaskia, the circumstances that surrounds the loss,to me,leaves so many questions unanswered.

For instance,there was supposed to be a curfew in place, how did the insurgents bypass military stop overs? The atrocity happened in the dead of the night,I'm still wondering how hundreds students got kidnap with such ease in an area where there is curfew...if Hilux vans were used,you would need at least twenty, if a buses were used,you still need at least two. So, to me,thorough investigation should be made into the matter and that are involved should be brought to justice!

Well,putting that aside,Malala, the girl that's been made popular after surviving a major attack and attempt on her life simply because she insisted on gaining western education remembered the Chibok girls.

Malala,wrote to the Chibok girls, as a mark of respect... according to the contents of the letter, it was a form of encouragement and hope for the girls. In her letter,she expressed her hope of meeting and hugging them in celebration really soon.

The Former Minister, Ezekwizile, staged one of the longest protests ever in Nigeria to make a point which I believe was eventually made. She made the point that The girls are humans not animals and the Federal Government should ensure that rescuing the girls is taken very seriously if they must

show the world they are both responsive and responsible!

I saw something that is highly remarkable here. The Former Minister hails from the South East while the girls are of Northern region. Very much unlike the traditional rivalry between the Igbos and Northerners coming to play,it was the Nigerian Spirit that came to play! Likewise, unlike in 2011 when ethnicity and religion were the jokers of the ruling party and of course,the power of incumbency,this year,again it was the 'Nigerian Spirit '! Who would believe a sitting governor in MUSLIM DOMINATED STATE can be defeated in his Senatorial district especially when he is a Muslim contesting in Muslim dominated area? Babangida Aliyyu,the present governor of Niger state lost in the Senatorial election to a Christian in a Muslim dominated area!I'm beginning to like our democracy wallahi!

This is why I am praising and thanking God Almighty for choosing Jega for us as an umpire and feeding him with Uncommon Wisdom .and granting him a formidable team of incorruptible Professors to handle the election. I love the wisdom and level of maturity he displayed in handling the elections...especially the case of Orubebe... lolz . To a very high extent, it reflected the wish of the people... I know that those that refused to vote would probably be kicking themselves by now. Because, contrary to general belief,the election was a huge success!

Now that we are all awaiting the swearing in of the new government, it's our hope that the new government shall put security of lives and properties ahead of any other agenda they may have and most especially, they should work hard to #bringbackourgirls

Abdurrahman.
