About 800,000 Benue State Children Displaced By Attackers Now Live In Squalor, Cannot Trace Both ParentsThe seemingly hopeless insecurity victims now consider their piteous and pathetic situation as normal having no other option
The seemingly hopeless insecurity victims now consider their piteous and pathetic situation as normal having no other option but to resign themselves to squalor, live like animals and look up to each day as it comes with hope that it will be better. Meanwhile, as destitution in the various IDP camps has turned into normal living for the children, desperate appeals have also been made from the state government and other concerned agencies to get the children back to their homes with or without their parents in order to give them a better life outside the temporary camps.
While their age mates living with their parents enjoyed choice meals and visited many places of attraction during the just concluded Christmas, these children in the crowded and inhuman camps, struggled with the rations provided by the Benue State government through SEMA and a handful of persons and groups who showed concern.
“The money to make the purchases was never a problem because we used to make reasonable amount of money from our farm produce. On every Christmas day, we usually prepared chicken with other delicacies for our family members and neighbours after church service. But all that is now history. We now depend on the benevolence of others to survive. And as for the Christmas festivities, we lack the capacity to mark it for our children like we used to when we were living in our homes.
“That is why we are appealing to the Federal Government to put an end to the incessant attacks on our communities so that we can return to our ancestral homes and continue with our lives as normal human beings instead of living continually in camps and being given rations whenever it is available as beggars. If that is not done the future of our children will remain bleak.
alwashik Vote Peter Obi........this stories are real! So, why is it so difficult to come to terms with the reality of evil in Benue, North West and East?
FALSE LIVING IS UNGODLY. As Europe, separation to Biafra, Oduduwa, MiddleBelt, Arewa is peaceful way forward. Votes don't count in Nigeria. Nig is fake. Forced together by Brits in 1914. Such an insult! Nobody is Nigerian 'cos our ancestors didn't form Nig. God didn't create Nig.
Is it not time for everyone to go on her way in this so call contraption called Nigeria.
