They died in the midst of Dream running away from the grave of dreams that is Nigeria. There is no better way to die. They died risking it all, knowing that there is the possibility of not making it to their destination. This is brave. And foreigners buried them like human beings that they are, with great Honour. Thank you ITALY for honoring our people, for honoring my nation.

The picture of the burial of 26 Nigerian girls who died on their way to Europe really touched me. The Nigerian government and most Nigerians barely care.  I am thanking Italy because I have seen how the dead are treated in Nigeria. We bury them like animals, in mass graves, like they were nothing and had never been anything, especially if the dead are victims of Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen or some victims of human catastrophes with government incompetency written all over it.

I am sure you have seen how people are buried shamelessly in mass graves. It simply shows how we don't care. It is nothing to us as long as these people are not related to us. Human beings have no dignity to Nigerians and the Nigerian government. We have been reduced to only caring for ourselves like animals. The country is a jungle. Nnamdi Kanu called it a zoo, believe me it is worse.

I want you to look at these pictures again. Look at people coming to lay wreath (flowers) on the coffins. In the whole of this sad episode I found something in the way these girls were buried. I feel honoured by the Italian.

I wouldn't blame anyone for trying to leave Nigeria. Even some of us that wouldn't risk the Sahara desert wouldn't mind getting visa and checking out.

Now I hear President Buhari has instituted a committee to probe how they died. Hahahahahahaha!!! Funny character. You don't need a committee to probe how they died or what drives people out of this country, do you?

RIP my girls. You died inside your dreams. Thank you again Italy. Nigeria honestly didn't care. They will never care.
