Good morning brethren, today’s sermon will be a difficult but honest one.

1. I wasn’t going to say anything about #Zamfara, or lend my voice to the sudden outrage. As most of you will know, I hate hypocrisy.

Where was this outrage BEFORE the elections when people were dying?
2. Even with this new anger at FG’s failure to secure lives & property, people are STILL reluctant to hold @mbuhari the C-in-C to account, blaming @GovYari instead

3. Some are angry that Baba was silent about #Zamfara but managed to express his sadness at the death of a Lagosian
4. The same people that mocked us when we protested against the REFUSAL of the FG and @mBuhari to act against killers in #Benue, #SouthernKaduna, #Taraba, #Plateau are organizing a tokenistic protest on a Saturday while Baba is out of the country and are “slightly pissed” at him.

My name is Bello, I like going out for evening walks. They’re so relaxing. Yesterday I came back from one such walk, a long walk, and met my house in flames, my parents butchered. My siblings raped, and my village pillaged.

My name is Bello and I’m from Zamfara #ZamfaraNeedsHelp
My name is Na Abba. I’m a merchant. I went to visit my hometown to see my parents and my family in the city never heard from me again. I’ve been kidnapped by bandits. I am among the lucky ones to have been captured alive.

My village is in Zamfara. Please help. #ZamfaraNeedsHelp
My name is Salih, I’m thrilled the strike is off. I have but a semester to graduate. Finally!

But now I must face a bigger danger. How do I go back to school in one piece? Would I be kidnapped? Killed? Raped?

Our roads are unsafe. #ZamfaraNeedsHelp
