THE DAY I CHEATED DEAD FROM BOKO HARAM’ BLAST   It was sure astounding beholding a beautiful city that looks almost unNigeria when as a new comer I went into the city of Maiduguri in the year 2006. The city which according to history became the seat of power in 1967 as the northwest state before the creation of Borno state in 1976 is a piece of elegance, order, neatness and planning.

Though everyone had thought they were the Chibok girls because of the hype surrounding the abduction of the girls, but we should not lose sight of the fact that they are as important as the Chibok girls and those that are still in captivity, which we hope would be liberated soon. But at the moment, we are looking up to the time t...
