ELECTION AFTERMATH CLAIMS CORPERS' IN BAUCHI



They were among the youth corpers killed in Bauchi State during the post-election violence on Sunday night.
This makes one so sad. I can't believe they would do this to innocent people....why?
Ukeoma Aik(Pic below), rest in peace.
Obinna Okpokiri(pic Top) like Ukeoma was dragged out of his corpers lodge, beaten, butchered and set on fire on Sunday April 17th by those CPC fanatics in Bauchi State.
Can you wish this kind of death on your worst enemy? Can you even begin to imagine the terror these corpers would have faced minutes before their brutal murders?
To think Obinna left London to do his NYSC in Nigeria.

These young men can't die in vain. Their killers must be brought to book. Knowing the way our government operate in matters like this, their deaths
will probably be swept under the carpet...just like others in the past...so how do we ensure that this doesn't happen this time?

This is not enough but there is a petition for the immediate withdrawal of Youth Corps members from trouble-prone states.


What else can we do as youths of this country?
Is it a crime to go to school in Nigeria?Is it a mistake to honour the compulsory national youth service?What consolation is for the victims' parents?Like Late Lucky Dube sang,'we are the victims everytime' and it could be anybody anytime.

  1. This is sad. This is sorrowful. Though hands join in hands, these wicked people shall NOT go unpunished, not only in the world to come, but right here in this world to serve as a deterrent to others, government intervention or none. May God console those whose sons, daughters, brothers, fathers, mothers, uncles, nieces, aunties, nephews and friends were affected in Jesus' Name. Good people of Nigeria, pls take heart.
