Your silence on the abduction of schoolchildren and the killing of their teacher sends a dangerous signal. It creates the impression that the lives of innocent children can be overshadowed by politics, power struggles, and personal interests. When leaders and influential voices remain quiet in moments like this, communities begin to lose trust. People begin to wonder whether the urgency to protect lives still exists. Our children cannot be in the hands of ruthless criminals who have no regard for human life while public attention remains fixed on political banter and ambitions. Do you wake up each morning comforted because your own children are safe? Because they are in secure schools, in cities, or abroad? Does distance from danger make the suffering of other people’s children easier to ignore? Politics is meant for the bold, the courageous, and those willing to serve. Leadership demands integrity, empathy, and sacrifice. A lack of values should never make us indifferent to the suffering of innocent people. The children taken from their schools are not statistics. They are sons and daughters. They have dreams, futures, and families waiting in fear. The murdered teacher was not merely a headline. A life was lost. A family was shattered. The true test of leadership is not how loudly one campaigns for power, but how urgently one responds when innocent lives are at risk. Save the children. Protect our schools. Put human lives before politics. Because every child matters. Every teacher matters. Every life matters. Chief Olajuwon Subair Anlugbua, Mogaji Ile Nla Ibadanland May 25, 2026

Our hearts are heavy as we write this, not just as a blog, but as one voice among many crying out in pain and helplessness. For 10 painful days now, innocent children — some as little as 2 years old — have remained in captivity, held in the hands of Terrorist in Oyo State. Ten days of fear. Ten days of uncertainty. Ten days too long for any family to bear. Exposed to harsh sun, heavy rains, and the cruelty of those who took them away from safety and love. These are not just statistics. These are children. Babies. Sons and daughters whose laughter once filled homes that are now drowned in silence and tears. Today, our grief deepens as we remember that just one week ago, Mr. Michael Oyedokun was brutally killed. A life taken in violence that should never find a place in our communities. His death is a wound that still bleeds in the hearts of many. We are pleading — begging — for urgency, for action, for humanity. To the government of Oyo State, we cry out: please do not let this pain continue. Bring our people home. Restore hope to shattered families. And to the leadership of the nation, including the President, we ask for attention, for voice, for intervention — because silence at a time like this feels unbearable. This is a call that comes from broken hearts across Oriire and beyond. #SAVEORIIRE
