be back amongst talking points as the general elections approach. Despite the political ramifications of this as noted by critics, I think the safety of the Nigerian people should be given the utmost priority. Let’s all work together for a Nigeria that’s safe for all.

This govt has failed us. From Kaduna to Owo the most we’ve received has been condemnation. Our lives ought to mean more to any govt. I hope we’ve learned our lesson. I hope we’ll do better next year. My heart goes out to the bereaved. We are the bereaved. All of us. #owomassacre

I keep typing and deleting the things I’m feeling, because who cares how I’m feeling when people actually lost their loved ones. Their parents. Their children. Slight panic attack.
