STEPPING UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILDREN OF NIGERIA FALLEN HEROES IN THE NORTHEAST...
STEPPING UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILDREN OF NIGERIA FALLEN HEROES IN THE NORTHEAST..
Have you seen my daddy? He is a soldier, strong and brave. He has fierce eyes and a bravery of six lions. He is the best dad in the world. We hear him calling but we can’t see him.
He told us he will be coming back soon the last time he took us out and bought us Ice cream. HE TOLD US HE IS GOING TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS IN THE NORTH EAST SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A SAFE AND BETTER FUTURE. We celebrated him for STEPPING OUT TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS...
He said he will bring us a medal of glory but now we hear a different story. He assured us we will hear from him often. He said he will send us barbiecue from the Battlefield. But maybe he has forgotten!
He told us he will come for the baby shower when mummy puts to bed, we’ve waited and now the soup is sour.
If this be a dream, wake us up, if this be a piece of theatre, let the act end. Let the drums end, let the music seize, let this dance end. It’s sickening!
The day daddy left with his comrades, they were singing victory songs in the military wagon. Little did we know they were singing their victory into death?
They told us daddy is coming home. We bathed and we waited. Our ears itched to hear the same victory songs they went with but instead we heard the siren of death. Daddy and his comrades went to fight the dragon in the Northeast and the dragon ate them all up and they were brought back to us in boxes wrapped with Nigerian flags”. Oh!!!! Daddy is now the Barbiecue sent to us from the Battle Field.
Now they put several medals on Daddy and his comrades but of what use are medals to a dead man and his dead folks?
After all the gunshots and decoration of military funeral, the people have all gone and we are now facing reality.
Those who sent daddy and his comrades to the battle field to defend the nation never pass by again and we are uncertain about our future because mummy does not have all it takes to ensure our RIGHTS TO EDUCATION, PROTECTION & WELLBEING...
EVERY CHILD OF NIGERIAN FALLEN HEROES DESERVE THEIR LIVES LIVED WITH DIGNITY...
