Young men and women rose in the morning with zest and hope. For years, all most of them wanted were jobs. Jobs gave them food on the table but, more importantly, the pride of life.A year ago when the countless numbers of them attended the Nigeria Immigration Services job recruitment exercise, death replaced hope. It skulked and triumphed over at least 19 lives.

Stampede swamped the venues across the country. Imagine the sight of the three pregnant women gasping for air in Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, or the three who lost their footing and choked as the crowds trampled over them in Sani Abacha Stadium in Minna. Imagine the families of the beloved ones in Port Harcourt who had to swap their earlier wishes of good luck with dirges and funeral faces as they headed for the state hospital. Five died in the garden city. In the nation’s capital Abuja, which was the headquarters of the recruiting agency, how could you explain the eight snuffed out giddily?

life must go on

Yet GEJ refused to refund my 1000 naira. GEJ is using our 1000 naira to campaign for his presidency. Nigeria youths will never forgive GEJ #bringbackour1000naira

May their soul rest in peace
Amen
