Popular Nigerian content creator, Taaooma, professional name of Maryam Apaokagi, has reacted to the recent incidences of insecurity in the country.
On Friday morning, terrorists kidnapped 225 students and teachers at St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in Papiri, Agwara Local Government Area of Niger State.
This comes after bandits took 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi State and killed the school’s vice principal during the week.
Also last Tuesday, Fulani bandits invaded Eruku community in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State. The attackers attacked a branch of a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) during a Live Streamed service, killed three worshippers and abducted 35 members, for whom they are now demanding N100million each.
In a post on her verified Facebook page oin Friday, Taaooman who is from Kwara, said it feels like “Nigerians are just numbers on a sheet”.
The cinematographer and social media influencer said Nigerians are tired of condolences and want results.
The comedian said Nigerians want safety and not promises.
She further lamented the lack of justice for victims of terrorists attacks in the country.
Taaooman bemoaned that Nigeria has endured insecurity and terrorism for the past 15 years.
“It’s getting hard not to feel like Nigerians are just numbers on a sheet. Mere statistics! 100 today, 23 tomorrow. No justice. No accountability. No meaningful action. Mr. President, Nigerians are tired of condolences and committees.
We need real protection, not statements.We need actual results, not promises.
“If insecurity is truly a priority, it has to show in the outcomes not just the speeches. How can a country carry the same security crisis for over 15 years and still be running in circles? Why is it so hard to track down criminals, dismantle terror groups, and guarantee safety for ordinary people?
“Where exactly is the disconnect? Every morning brings a new horror story, a new family grieving, a new headline that shouldn’t exist.
“We can’t even get one week just one week of good news. Nigerians deserve better.
We deserve safety. We deserve leadership that treats human lives as more than statistics.
