The Kidnapped Islaamiyah Pupils and the Offence They Committed
The offence of this innocent kids is that they committed no offence. To commit no offence has recently become an offence in our dear country. A common saying, courtesy of our corrupt political system which gives wings to corruption and the corrupt, is “steal goat and rot in prison; loot billions of naira from public funds and become a hero”. Should we now say ‘seek knowledge and waste your life’? For I don’t understand why students are becoming endangered. This is even worrisome as the occurrence of students’ kidnapping is more frequent in the northern states which are still considered Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS). Are there attempts to kill education in the North? I alluded to this in my article titled “The Devil Called ‘Four Point Scale’ and the Fate of Education in the North”.
