In Delta and Edo states – My parents can’t go to farm again

I have been feeling so down for the past few weeks as it appears nobody in Nigeria wants to talk about the terrible situation in most places in Nigeria, especially the Delta and Edo states My parents can’t go to farm again or travel to nearby villages because Fulani terrorists, otherwise called herdsmen, are camped in these areas kidnapping and killing people from Agbor to Ogwashi Ukwu and the people are helpless. No media coverage and the government not doing anything about it.

Even in the market where my sister has a shop, the Fulanis have taken over. I feel angry about what is happening in my beloved country. I wish Nigerians home and abroad would start being more outspoken about this at least to shame the govt, no matter the impact on Nigeria’s image. I am pained that most people do not understand the level Nigeria has degenerated to. I have canceled my planned trip to my town due to insecurity.

Just watched Afenifere leader as well as former NYSC DG Dr Tsiga narrate their kidnapping ordeal. No place is safe again. It’s crazy what’s going on. It’s not enough for people to move to walled estates in the city centres and feel the country is safe. It’s not.

Since yesterday, I have been angry and don’t know what to do to be happy again. I was shouting at my sister, asking her what about the youths. Couldn’t they do something about this? She said most youths are running to cities.
