Dear @kemakillzz
I am in pain as I write this. Ochanya will forever remind me of my failures as a Nigerian adult. I failed her and many others. As I write this I have a a lump on my chest that hurts so badly. When the issue broke so many years ago we carried it even though we couldn’t save her. We didn’t protect her and prevent the pain her family has had to live with.
Do you know what makes me elated inspite of the harrowing story? It is young Nigerians like you who have their voices and agencies and speaking on the injustices.
I have said in many interviews that many Nigerians especially the youth now own their voices and using their voices and that even without my voice, many issues are heard much louder than I could ever make them.
I remember a time when I had to literally take on issues and spend hours daily to ensure that the issues are put at the front burner. Not anymore with Nigerians like you championing issues. It might sound selfish but it makes me so proud. Like watching your children grow up and be greater than you ever were.
I have not been as vocal not because I don’t want to champion the issue but because I am in awe at how far your voices have gone, your messages have resonated and you all have taken charge of the civic space and I could die today happy. It is no longer just one Aisha Yesufu but thousand Aisha Yesufus and doing so much better.
Just like during #EndSars when I stayed in the background and cheered the youth who took charge of the protest and only came forward when the lives of the protesters were threatened I am here rooting for you and cheering you on and allowing you own the space and take charge. There are new sheriffs in town and they will deliver a new Nigeria for us all.
I am honoured and humbled and I promise you that instead of cheering by the side and being in awe of all you have accomplished in ensuring Ochanya’s case is revived, I will walk with you in demanding #JusticeForOchanya once again!
We failed her once. We cannot fail her again
Regards
Aisha Yesufu
