“Where Is The Change You Promised Us” – Ex-Nollywood Actress Regina Askia Writes Buhari

March 6, 2016 – “Where Is The Change You
Promised Us” – Ex-Nollywood Actress Regina
Askia Writes Buhari
“Thank you for all your effort at containing
the corruption in Nigeria however unpopular.
Nigerians elected you through serious
acrimony, loosing several lives and facing
deadly unrest but they chose you. Though you
are from the North of OUR country you are
president of all.
How is it that violence and deaths still hold
sway? “My hope and prayer was that on your
ascension you would deploy our military with
fiat and alacrity armed to the teeth and
silence or at least contain Boko Haram. My
prayer was that as a seasoned General you
would not only flush out king pins and barons
but retrieve the loot as you napped them one
after the other but we see them working for
you. Is this the change you promised us Mr
President?
“Maybe I don’t fully understand how these
things work but I know one truth ‘Women with
babies on their back should not be
slaughtered in their farms while out there
striving to make ends meet.’ They say you did
not send a condolence message to comfort
the families but rather you are requesting for
cattle routes for the herds men?
“There is fighting in Lagos and vicinities?
Kidnappers are even negotiating exchange
rates, hiking ransoms and collecting change
over the victims, little girls are being
kidnapped from southern states and sold off
in marriage to old men off north? Is it okay to
encourage pedophilia in the name of
tradition?”
We, concerned citizens of the diaspora are
watching and praying for a swift arrest of this
drift. When the citizenry loose trust and
believe that their government has their interest
at heart, anarchy is unleashed and we mark
the beginning of a sorry end. Mr President,
where is the change you promised?”
