I am disheartened about the reports of another kidnap of dozens of school children in Borno State. The news stated that terrorist attacked Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School in the Askira-Uba Local Government Area of Borno. I will continue to reiterate that we are all failing collectively if such tragic incidents continue to go on. In my view, our only business as public servants should be solving the issues of insecurity and the epileptic power supply in Nigeria. This latest terrorist attack estimates that about 35 to 48 pupils were abducted. Innocent children seeking quality education in an already difficult society. Our thoughts are with their families and the people of Borno. This extreme levels of insecurity continues to be a shame in our face. May God continue to guide us to do the right thing for the people we serve.

RIGHT NOW: Gaza is being severely bombed again during this “ceasefire”. israeli occupation airforce are targeting residential buildings west of Gaza City
URGENT APPEAL: HELP SAVE A FUTURE DOCTOR
Mustapha Bashir Ayodeji, a brilliant 300L MBBS (Medical) student at the University of Ilorin (Unilorin), was halfway to his dream of saving lives when tragedy struck. He has been diagnosed with CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE.
a genocide is still happening in Gaza. Lebanon is still facing a humanitarian crisis, Russia targeted a kindergarten in Ukraine, 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Sudan, 43 people were killed in ADF attack in northwest Congo. Continue talking about them. Don’t stop.
a genocide is still happening in Gaza and I see nobody talking about it. Lebanon is going through a severe humanitarian crisis, Russia violated a ceasefire and it launched strikes that killed 27 people. Almost 34 million people need aid in Sudan. Continue spreading awareness.
I don’t know if anyone will care about what I am saying, but the outside world must know exactly what is happening here… not later, but now.
What we are experiencing in Gaza has gone beyond the limits of human endurance. The camps have turned into a terrifying hotspot for the spread of diseases. With the beginning of summer and thousands of families crowded into extremely tight spaces next to garbage dumps, illness is spreading rapidly, as if it has become part of daily life. There is also an incomprehensible media silence regarding the scale of this growing health catastrophe, despite repeated warnings from medical teams and field workers.
Skin diseases, infections, and contagious illnesses are spreading widely, especially among children, in an environment that lacks the most basic conditions of hygiene or treatment. Rats are everywhere between the tents, insects are spreading heavily and causing continuous injuries, and there are no means of control such as poisons or pesticides. My nieces are part of this reality… their bodies are covered in painful bites that worsen every day without effective treatment.
The situation is collapsing with no real solutions. Medicines are scarce, disinfectants are almost nonexistent, and unsafe water is contributing directly to the spread of disease, while the healthcare system is beyond its capacity.
As of now, cases are estimated at around 160,000 people and still increasing, most of them children. This is not an exaggeration… it is a complete health collapse inside the camps.
The reason why that Palestine isn’t being seen anymore is that because Israel has killed Palestinians journalists. 56 Palestinian journalists have been killed. Russia killed 27 in Ukraine. Sudan received drone attacks. Lebanon is getting bombed. Don’t stop talking.
