Comedy skit-making has become a big part of Nigeria's creative industry. Rated the world's happiest people by the World Values Survey in 2003, Nigerians are noted for their resilience, and have always found a way to make light of bad situations.

HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (HURIWA) has decided to petition the United Nations Education and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) and the Secretary-General of the United Nations to demand that these international bodies and Leaders put pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to take steps and concrete measures to put to an end the incidents of violent kidnapping of Nigerian Students by different armed non state actors.
We suspect that some members of the Federal Government agencies and security forces are benefiting from the kidnapping of students through ransoms payment. We also think that Nigeria will appear hypocritical in the eyes of International Community if the nation under this government goes ahead to celebrate the forth coming children day celebration and Democracy Day either on May 29th or June 12th without recusing the kidnapped greenfield University student within 24 hours from today.

Seven years after Boko Haram abducted over 276 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok Borno State, former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili says the Federal Government is not interested in the education of schoolchildren.
Although most of the 276 girls escaped or were later released, more than 112 girls are still missing.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s
Politics Today, Ezekwesili lamented that the whereabouts of the schoolgirls still remain unknown.
“This government did not give any priority, I do not think this government is interested in schoolchildren and their education,” she said.
“Look at northern Nigeria; it is already behind the curve in terms of development. Development is a function of human capital – education, health and all the other associated services that people need in other to productively engage.”
