Remembering the slain NYSC members killed during 2011 election in Nigeria

They were filled with so much enthusiasim concerning their mandatory after school national youth service,ready to partake in the election process,being their own little quota to nation building,but they were cut short in their prime.Who dunnit?The perpetrators of this evil act are yet to be unmasked and subsequently prosecuted since a year ago when this heinous crime was committed against these helpless and innocent youths,against the youths of this country that has kept the faith and not turned to crime for the eke out for a living,against parents who have struggled to educate their wards instead of building houses and engaging in frivlous activities,against communities that have looked forward to these youth for the future turning around of their environment,and ultimately ,against the elctorates that have made their choice known through their voting power.
I am of the opinion that these fallen heroes should be remembered and honoured yearly by the Nigerian Federal Government.Their blood had been shared for the sake of this country,Some people got national awards last year who did not deserve it,and this is what could be termed injustice!The money that was given by the president is not good enough to equate the loss of these youths.We can emulate what the U.N did in honour of its staffs that were killed in a bomb explosion in Abuja sometimes 2011,all the names of those killed were read out and personal tribute done to them.It is very important to note here that Nigeria has failed to understand that the citizens are Her greatest assets and not the crude oil!the earlier this is understood the better the country will be for it.
I specially remember this corpers because i was one of them during this period,although i was posted to serve in Lagos state,which is very much safe to serve,but the death of these youths hit me,because it could have been me,my parents and folks could have been thrown in perprtual mourning,because money can not replace the human life.It is my sincere wish that these youths did not die in vain!God bless their Souls,God bless Nigeria!
