I remember Deborah Samuel who was killed in Sokoto in 2022. Her story has refused to leave my head. Today, I chose to revisit it.
Deborah was murdered in broad daylight. On May 12, 2022, a Muslim mob in Sokoto stoned her, set her on fire, and recorded it. Her crime? A comment on a WhatsApp group they called blasphemy.
Videos showed a crowd and many faces killing Deborah. Yet, only two men were arrested, and they were charged with criminal conspiracy and inciting public disturbance, offences that carry not more than 2 years imprisonment. 34 lawyers appeared in court in their defence. The charges did not reflect that Deborah was killed. THERE WAS NO MURDER CHARGE AGAINST ANYONE. In the end, even those two men were discharged after the prosecution disappeared and failed to pursue the case (a situation we believed was planned).
I also remembered how Atiku Abubakar first condemned Deborah's killing, then deleted the statement before later saying it had been posted without his approval. Atiku wants to be your President now.
Years have passed and no one has answered for Deborah Samuel's death. Despite a video showing many faces, no one has been arrested, tried or convicted for Deborah's death.
I don't know why I'm reminding you of Deborah. I only want you to know that Deborah could have been that your daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend or relative you cherished so much.
Continue to rest, Debby.

This math teacher, Anthony Iwegbu, walked up to me today to tell me that he is the first in his lineage to have gone abroad. He said that bringing him to Rome, all expenses paid, will change his life forever as a teacher.
At first I didn’t believe it, but I’m happy that his effort as a teacher has made that possible for him.
I really love to see our teachers excel. They have been neglected for so long.
His name is Egejurum Onyedikachi, and he is a genius.
Let that sink in.
He is in Primary 6 but does wonders with mathematics that make SS3 students tremble.
The world will know him and celebrate him.
He is currently with me in Rome to challenge champions from other countries this Saturday.
People are not even saying the major thing about this video.
Pastor Adeboye went to the US to convince the US government that Tinubu is doing well and to also show subtle support that there is no Christian Genocide because at least he's a pastor of a very big church.
We are overlooking the purpose of the video.
Abortion is healthcare. This poor baby was raped by a Nigerian man and still had to carry this baby to term in her condition. The whole system failed her. This is terrible.
