Actor and activist Toyin Abraham has expressed her deep concern over the recent unsettling events in Nigeria, where 25 young girls have been reportedly abducted.
In a heartfelt note to mothers across the country, she questions how they find the strength to close their eyes at night, knowing their children might be in danger.
Her message calls for unity, resilience, and urgent action to address the rising insecurity facing the nation.
“How do we move past the heaviness in our hearts after watching the heartbreaking video of the attack in Kwara? How does any mother close her eyes at night knowing that 25 young girls have been stolen from their families, girls who should be safe, laughing, learning, dreaming?
As mothers, we carry a kind of fear that sits deep in our bones. When we hear of such violence, it is not just news to us, it is a wound. We imagine the faces of those children, we imagine their mothers’ trembling hands, and we feel the world grow heavier on our shoulders.
Terrorism and religious extremism are tearing at the fabric of our communities, changing the way people live, love, pray, and hope. These fanatics and terrorists are not just attacking villages, they are attacking the very idea of safety, childhood, and peace.
So how do we confront a world where innocent souls are kidnapped and killed in the name of hatred? How do we protect our children when cruelty seems to move without fear or consequence? These are the questions that haunt every mother’s heart”.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
