On Kaduna train victims

The kidnapped victims of Kaduna train attack are Nigerians, they’re not animals, they’re humans like President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker House of Representatives and Chairman Governor’s Forum.

The same victims spent their time, resources and energy to vote the above persons whose power is meant to represent them and protect their lives and properties. But unfortunately they have failed woefully in discharging their responsibilities in a country where insecurity is called business due to political jingoism. Yet their children are protected and secured.

It’s pathetic, disheartening and heartlessly inhuman for government to do nothing in securing the release of the kidnapped citizens which happened due to its carelessness. Seriously, we’re democratically losing hope and may not support anyone again. Our government favours terrorists more than patriotic Nigerians. They’re being pardoned, rehabilitated and empowered to come and live with us while we remain the victims of circumstance.

Still, they attack, kidnap, rape and kill us daily. So far, we no longer have strong voice anymore, we’re in a mess and depressed as people who regularly give mandates to incompetent politicians and corrupt actors in governance. We’re very disappointed by our representatives in both the Red and Green Chambers of Nigeria.

Enough is enough!
