Personal opinion ija The fact that hundreds of Chibok girls are still being held captive by Boko Haram is no longer considered an issue in Nigeria. As the 2015 general and presidential elections loom nearer, Nigeria’s newspapers are far more focused on current political news and campaigns. We live in an era when news spread like wildfire, and people are happy to do whatever it takes to accumulate attention even for five precious minutes. Those individuals whom we voted into their political offices, who had sworn to protect our sovereignty, lives and properties, threw our hopes away. I weep for my fatherland. The average Nigerian youth is only concerned with the instant gratification of self-fulfillment. He or she doesn’t think of the aftermath of self assertion. How long will it take the Nigerian youths to refocus and redirect their steps onto the rightful track?
