Band!ts reportedly stormed the Ijalu area of Egbe in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State this evening along the Solid Rock School axis and took away Mrs. Idowu Kemi alongside her baby.
You may wonder who these women are and why they placed their hands on their chests as if they were singing the national anthem while frustrated. They are singing "On your mandate we shall stand," and you can feel the pain in their voices. But why are they there?
Corn! Ewa!
When someone is poor and cannot afford to eat, they will happily accept any food item that come their way so they can eat. Politicians have weaponised hunger in Naija, and it is sad to see people's beloved relatives being used in this way.
It is not life that we are living in Nigeria.
@ChuksEricE Because of the hatred of the cockroach, the mosquitoes voted for the insecticide but when it came, it k!lled both the cockroach and the mosquitoes including the fly that never voted.
To the next generation ๐ค
If you ever come across this message, just know that we tried our best.
Life wasnโt easy for us. Things were expensive, opportunities were few, and for many of us, every day felt like a struggle. Sometimes it felt like we were carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders with nobody to lean on.
We didnโt always have answers. We didnโt always have support. Most times, all we had was ourselves and the hope that tomorrow would somehow be better.
There were days we smiled in public and cried in private. Days we felt tired of being strong. Days we wanted to give up but couldnโt afford to. So we kept going.
We kept showing up.
We kept trying.
We kept believing.
Not because life was fair, but because giving up was never really an option.
If life is better for you, please cherish it. Donโt take the little things for granted. Appreciate the opportunities, the peace, and the people around you.
And if life is still hard when youโre reading this, donโt lose yourself. Donโt let the struggles convince you that your story is over.
Keep going.
Be kind to people. Love the people who love you. Protect your peace. Choose yourself when necessary. And never stay where youโre not respected, appreciated, or valued.
We may not have had the easiest lives, but we did the best we could with what we had.
From a generation that was tired, sometimes broken, often misunderstood, but never willing to stop fighting for a better tomorrow. โค๏ธ๐ฅน
We hope the world is a little kinder to you than it was to us.
