Soaring Law Practice

Our children are our heritage, a symbol of hope and the pride of the society. They are innocent, vulnerable and deserve to be protected by all means. No child deserves to be subjected to any form of hardship and inhumane treatment due to the failure and ineptitude of the government. The future of any society lies in the hands of the children -destroying them is destroying the future of the society.

As we celebrate children’s day today, let us do a deep reflection and be reminded of the innocent children in the den of the kidnappers, with no shelter, with no food, languishing in pain. Let the tears of these innocent children ignite an anger in us. An anger that is not just expressed within the confine of our houses and social media spaces – let the anger cause each and every one of us to hold our government responsible for the torture of these children. Yes, the government owe them a duty of protection and safety, just as they owe every other child. Today, it is these innocent children, we do not know who the next victims will be. Let us rise in unity and solidarity, for the sake of our innocent children and their future, against the wickedness, insensibility, selfishness and nonchalance of our leaders. Our children deserve to live in a safe and secured society.

God bless our children. Happy children’s day to every child out there. I pray God’s protection on them all.

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.
