Placards of all shapes and sizes were geared towards #BringBackOurGirls - the case for the girls kidnapped by terrorists in the Northern part of Nigeria.
Tweets and 'likes' and 'shares' on Facebook prompted so much response than has ever been seen before. It was a surprisingly good turnout considering the fact that most people live routine lives and are ever so busy at work and what have you.Years ago this would not have been possible.
Social media has helped raise so much attention about this matter that will hopefully translate to the release of those abducted girls.
I don't understand a lot about politics. Way too many questions to ask. Who do you ask? Who will respond and so on and so forth.
My concern really is for those children, whose lives have been turned upside down in a twinkling of an eye. My concern is for their safety. My concern is for these atrocious acts to cease. These girls have done nothing to deserve been snatched and taken away to possibly foreign territories.
Children are the future. God save our future. God save our children.
Late Nigerian musician Sonny Okosun in the eighties sang "Which Way Nigeria?" I wonder what he would sang about Nigeria's current situation if he were still alive.
