HOW FAR CAN YOU GO?
First posted ©2019

"How far can you go?" my latest work which is in progress got me researching about people who have gone far to defend the spread of the Gospel. This morning while reading, a voice in the spirit said something "
why all this stress?, when you have a living example to write about" and I asked "who?" The name of LEAH SHARIBU came out loud.

I did not know anything about Leah Sharibu until that faithful day; Nigerians woke up to the news of the released kidnapped schoolgirls in Dapchi Yobe
State.

She saw her mates getting ready to go home, and the only way she was to be part of the homecoming party was to deny Jesus simple, people deny Jesus every day and they just go and ask God for mercy and life continues, but not Leah. I saw her mates give her reasons to

A Thread.

As a Believer, one of the greatest tests of my life is granting real forgiveness to all those who because of Politics twisted my deep agony and agitation for rescue of ChibokGirls into all forms of wicked accusations I have had to bear since 2014. And yet I must.
In this 2018 tweet, I was recounting how the @BBCAfrica handle broke the news of the abduction of ChibokGirls on the 15th and my immediate reaction was to ask them if the news was “verified”.
I mean, it was hard to imagine hundreds of schoolchildren being abducted. It was hard.
My follow-on tweet after asking @BBCAfrica if their breaking news on the abduction was verified is captured below. It sank in my mind that it was BBC News and that by the quality control standards, it was near impossible to break unverified news. Ah. My eyes rolled down tears.

From the very beginning of @BBOG_Nigeria , one Key Demand we made of @NigeriaGov was the decisive apprehension and conclusive prosecution of ANYONE involved in abduction of Nigerians. We wanted this for Deterrent effect.
Well, our Demand fell on deaf ears of our leaders.
The failure of successive Administrations to heed Citizens’ Demand for effective and predictable Punishment or Penalty for Bad Behavior is what created a thriving markets of Illegalities in our country.
That our Children are victims of this Governance Failure breaks the heart.
In the same way our Governmental systems and leaders failed our #ChibokGirls #DapchGirls #LeahSharibu so also this latest case of the 9 children kidnapped in Kano &taken to Anambra.
These ARE CRIMES. Crimes against our weak & vulnerable.
@NigeriaGov should stop failing them.

If Buhari is trying his best for Nigeria why should his children live in penthouses in Knightsbridge?
If El-Rufai has no option for his kids than Nigeria, he won’t be making crazy comments to incite violence because his children can run to Washington DC!
We must all live here
The killings of the prominment south west leaders daughter by herdsmen is the first notice that soon the violence and ruthlessness of Nigerian government will affect all of us equally!
No their kids cannot run away to America, their lives are not more important than #LeahSharibu
The live of @MBuhari kids&kids of Akpabio, Ameachi, El-Rufai is not more important than thousands of Nigerians killed daily by Fulani herdsmen whom government are protecting and Boko Haram! Their kids must live here too @realDonaldTrump @USEmbassyAbuja @UKinNigeria @DKambNigeria

Someone sent me a video of 🇳🇬 Singer Onyeka Onwenu calling for the freedom if 15yr old girl LEAH SHARIBU kidnapped by Boko Haram.

I agree with the overall message of the video #FreeLeah & hopefully fast but I really want to talk abt d characters around the message in d video
1stly the 🇳🇬 govt handling of the whole situation has been absolutely terrible to say the least. 🇳🇬 is in election campaign mode which will double the govt's mishandling of Leah's situation. Foreign Christian organisations have jumped on the story
Character 1: Onyeka Onwenu
It's important to remember that when the Chibok girls were kidnapped, some of them christians Onyeka Onwenu was on tv defending the incompetent govt saying "No govt is perfect" even questioned details of the kidnap & who was kidnapped.
No teary video
