One booklet to safeguarding child abduction during school hours in Nigeria

There has been an increase in the number of child abduction( and attempts) in Nigeria, especially during school hours. Some of these cases are reported and recorded, and many have not. Interestingly, most child abductions have been recovered by law enforcement agencies, while many others are still not yet rescued. Effort for rescue must be intensified. 




Abduction is a traumatic experience for a child, especially girl child; even if they are rescued or and found alive they are not the same. The child has been brutally injured psychologically, abused and assuslted. Such trauma may linger for a very long time. It will take a lot of healing for the child to recover from such experience. It is therefore better to prevent, rather than cure, child abduction. 

Dennis Ekwere is the founder and facilitator of youth focused social movement - "Children and Young People Living for Peace(CYPLP), based in Nigeria.

He was wrongly alleged of child abduction by his landlord when they disagreed over his tenancy and in attempt to resist unlawful ejection, he was framed, arrested and detained in police cell without access to lawyer.

Whilst detained, he met 23 inmates between the ages of 18-40, charged with crimes ranging from assassination, murder, fraud, armed robbery, kidnapping/abduction, rape etc. The inmates confided in him that they had committed the alleged crimes and intended to return to crime once free. They shared their stories and tactics. These form the content of my handbook titled " Abductor Next Door" and hopefully will provide guidance to parents, teachers, school managements and the general public.

The handbook is my knowledge product as voluntary contribution to humanity and a better society for all children all over the world and need to be mass reproduced as hard copies for free distribution to parents, teachers, schools and the general public during our free organized workshops as training materials. Can you support the expansion of this knowledge products to highest population that need it most? So one child is save from harm of abduction just for going to school?

Please donate 10 USD to mass reproduce 100 copies of the handbook and we are targeting 2,000,000.00 copies. All donation will go into the mass reproduction and free distribution of the handbook to teachers, parents, schools and public.

Spot on Fake News

Fake news is stoned age news. So if you are wondering where or when fake news emanate from, you will be wasting my time for nothing in a discuss that have no end. This is year and in years to come from now we will be measuring if agenda 2030 is achieved or not. But to my mind there's big connect of the 17 SDGs to misinformation, disinformation and fake news. I have once been misled to a wrong direction in a visiting city I didn't exactly know wheteabout to my final  destination. So I asked for direction from passengers we boarded train with who is, as  claimed are residents of the said city. So I trusted the information as accurate but landed in wrong destination, and worst still, was that the wrong destination exposed me to great security risk. I later got to know that the residents I requested information from, didn't in the real sense knew the exactness of the direction but directed me to a similar direction known to them. However, I was able to retraced my direction by ...

WHY BOKO HARAM BECAME VIOLENT

There is no justification whatsoever, when citizens begin to take arms against its nation and fellow citizens by any guise. But this is our story in the Northeast of Nigeria of Borno State aka “Home of peace”- where peace is difficult to find this days. In the Northeast of Nigeria, over 20,000 lives has been lost, over 2.3 million people displaced, children orphaned, women widowed and many more unidentified number maimed, while properties worth millions are destroyed and human trust derailed totally till then. This is bitter one, with a state that was known to be so peaceful until politic mix with religion, when things fall apart. There was a group of young people who came together to fight a cause for the establishment of a new religious order with the aim of routing away corruption in Nigeria. That group was founded in Borno state with capital in Maiduguri; a cosmopolitan city. What has become of this group is mind blowing  as date. Boko Haram is a group of young people founded b...

Who changed the climate

  In Nigeria, there are more people that don’t really understand what climate change is. Much more people have never heard about climate change. These people are in rural areas where electronic communication is inaccessible. Most of them are farmers and attribute drought to “THE ANGER OF GODS”. There are so many misconceptions about climate change religiously and traditionally in Nigeria and in Africa. Who will take the message to these set of people dying ignorantly than you? I put to you that misconception of climate change has caused more harm than effect of climate change, caused communal conflicts and ethno religious crisis in poor vulnerable communities than never.     There is greater gap in stepping down what climate change is and not and spreading the message to grassroots people. Think about it, if you can bridge the gap in your locality. Having that on, every one in any community has rights to life according to the universal declaration of human rights article ...
