“This is not tragedy; this is national madness.
According to Prof. Oke-Samuel, the academic community is shattered. Of course they are how do you teach young people to believe in this country when kidnappers are waiting for them at the graduation gate?

“I dare say without apology the government has failed completely
Let us say the truth without polishing it: Nigeria is no longer a country where citizens are protected.
Nigeria is now a hunting ground.

“And the hunters are bandits, terrorists, and kidnappers who operate freely while government officials issue recycled press statements and travel in armoured convoys.

“For years, Kogi State and its surrounding corridors have become a kidnapping marketplace, yet the Federal and State governments pretend everything is normal.

“How many Nigerians must disappear before those in power stop playing politics with human lives?
Nigerians demand answers not excuses”,
Omirhobo said while lamenting the security crisis in parts of Nigeria.
