We are writing with heavy hearts to cry out for help.
42 children from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School, Askira Uba LGA, Borno State were abducted on May 15, 2026. The children include toddlers as young as 2 years old.
Today marks 67 days and our children are still being held in the forests. We have not heard anything about their whereabouts or condition.
We have waited, we have prayed, and we have reported. But up to today, we have not seen concrete action from the Borno State Government under Governor Babagana Zulum to secure their release and bring them home safely.
Our children are in the forest. They are scared, hungry, and in danger. Every day that passes puts their lives at more risk.
We are pleading:
1. Governor Zulum: Please act now. Deploy all necessary resources for the immediate rescue of the 42 Mussa children.
2. Security agencies: We need a coordinated rescue operation urgently.
3. The public and media: Help us amplify this. Do not let our children be forgotten.
We are parents, we are a community, and we are desperate. We cannot do this alone.
Please, help us call on the authorities to act before it is too late. Our children deserve to come home.
Thank you for standing with us.
Sincerely,
Concerned Parents and Community Members of Mussa, Borno State, Nigeria.

The ADHD dream career is being a highly paid consultant who swoops in, solves a complex crisis with a chaotic stroke of genius, and immediately exits before having to fill out the timesheets.
Once you cause me an unnecessary emotional distress and I tag you as unsafe for my mental health, I have clocked out forever. Life is too short to continue recovering from other people’s bad behaviors. There are better things to use the small social support I have for.
There is no dignity in suffering, and medicine is not martyrdom. Nobody should be Ambu-bagging a baby with recurrent apnea for six hours and calling it heroism. That is not standard care. That is waste, exhaustion, and predictable harm dressed up as virtue.
The standard is simple: when apnea is recurrent and you cannot stabilize the child on conservative measures, you intubate, you mechanically ventilate, you secure the airway, and you do your actual job not perform a six-hour manual-resuscitation circus while the unit runs on vibes and prayer.
Six hours of Ambu bagging is total rubbish because:
- It burns out the doctor who should be thinking, not pumping a bag until their arms fail.
- It abandons other neonates who also need attention one baby gets a marathon, the rest get neglect.
- It does not fix recurrent apnea; it delays definitive management.
- The outcome you’re gambling with isn’t “grateful parents on Twitter” it’s hypoxic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and a lifetime of disability because oxygenation was treated like a stamina contest.
No junior doctor will tell you six hours of Ambu bagging was a good experience. It’s a bitter, traumatic experience nobody should have to witness or repeat. Praising it doesn’t elevate medicine it normalizes dysfunction and tells owners of broken units: “Keep understaffing, keep missing ventilators, keep praising manual heroics we’ll clap instead of fix.”
Stop applauding exhaustion.
Stop romanticizing what should never happen in a functional neonatology unit.
Call the owners of that unit facility managers, hospital administration, state health leadership to equip, staff, and protocolize: working ventilators, trained personnel, and clear escalation to intubation and mechanical ventilation on time, not after six hours of manual bagging for likes and pity posts.
Praising a doctor who Ambu-bagged for six hours isn’t respect. It’s complicity in a trash system that leaves no room for improvement because everyone’s too busy clapping martyr theatre instead of demanding dignified, standard neonatal care.
Do the needful. Intubate. Ventilate. Fix the unit. Or shut the unit.
Anything else is noise and the baby pays the price.
Rihanna’s confidence is gone 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Do you know how much confidence a woman of her means and repute needs to have to repeatedly choose to not have plastic surgery to fit into the mold of what society considers as an ideal body. That is the definition of Confidence with a capital C. Rihanna has shown the world every stage of her life and journey unashamedly. That woman is one of the most confident self assured humans.
what is the solution to just being too avoidant to ever do any of the things that would improve your life materially. it doesn’t even feel like depression it feels like there’s a brick wall
Someone please explain the neurodivergent experience of feeling like I was mentally older than my peers as a child and now feel mentally younger now as an adult….
not sure what the love language it is but i genuinely feel my love build up when someone solves a problem for me, or even just attempts to
or make something hard easier for me to engage with
