Hello people today I want to write on something a little bit different
from what I normally do but the fact say na happening matter then I go write
am. Yesterday made it 150 days the Chibok girls had gone missing and till
this very moment the only thing the Federal Government are telling us is that
they are trying their best.
Now to the main reason why am writing this, I would like to advice our
President and to those it may concern that the #bringbackourgirls should not be
taken for granted or should it be insulted. This hastag is a way in which every
well meaning Nigerians are using in lending their voices against the horror
that had befallen those girls and a way to show their support in doing whatever
it takes to bring them back home. From home to abroad this hastag represent a
sign of hope to the parent of those girls, it shows them that Nigerians and
surely the rest world can hear their cry and this has given them strength that
they are not alone in the struggle but all till this moment majority of these
girls are still missing and their parents are still in great pain.
Although I must commend the government for at least having the
initiative to take care of those that were fortunate enough to escape by
sending them abroad (something I personally welcome) but for them to now start
insulting or taking the hastag for granted is something I honestly frown at. I
know 2015 is a political year and every politician would be doing whatever they
can to gain political power, be it by crook or hook but that doesn't give the
Presidency the right to mock me and every other well meaning Nigerians. The
hastag #bringbackjonathan2015 SHOULDN'T be the campaign slogan of the
Presidency because to me I see it as an INSULT and a MOCKERY to the original hastag
#bringbackourgirls and to everybody that was and is still part of the campaign.
I also see this as a slap on the faces of those parents that their girls are
still missing, a Slap on the faces of every single person that lend their voice
to the campaign of #bringbackourgirls, this hastag #bringbackourgirls is in
support of those girls they went missing and not the President who by the way
is not missing.
The reason why this borders me a lot and why it should bother you too is
the message that the government is trying to send to us, with their rubbish
hastag they want us to know that they don't care anymore about these girls and
that they have done everything in their power to bring them back and they are
done doing that. They are telling us it is time to focus on their own agenda
and forget about these girls because to them they don't matter at the moment,
what matters is how they will get back into power come 2015. They know the
power of the hastag and how we youth (most especially) spread such things
through the internet that why they decided to come up with their own hastag so
we can help them spread it but I want them to know that if it is not the hastag
#bringbackourgirls any other hastag with #bringback whatever they put on it, is
a MOCKERY and SHOULDN'T be encourage.
Thank you
