The Judge and his N10 million Loan
Two weeks ago, I was talking to a friend of mine – a Judge, and I felt so embarrassed and ashamed of Nigeria. He told me that he had applied to the Bank where his salary is domiciled for a N10 million loan a few years ago, to complete the construction of a house on a piece of land which his father bequeathed to him, so that he could earn some extra income to augment his salary and give his children a decent education, and also not end up being homeless on his retirement. The Bank flatly turned him down and refused to grant the loan, because they said his salary was too paltry to support a N10 million loan.

WEDNESDAY, April 14, 2021 marked the seventh year since the first school abductions by violent extremists, Boko Haram, took place in a girls secondary school in Chibok, Borno State.
In all, 276 girls were swept off to captivity. But after some of them escaped while some were successfully freed through negotiations and alleged ransom payments, there are still officially 112 students in the terrorists’ den.
The outrage it sparked gave birth to the #BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, campaign which gained universal traction when former US First Lady, Michelle Obama, joined the call for their immediate, safe rescue.
