A graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsuka, beautiful Eucharia Remmy was a member of Pastor Chris' Christ Embassy Church.
Despite the opposition by many Nigerians that NYSC members should not be posted to trouble spots in the country, at least for now, the authorities went ahead to order this innocent soul and others to Damaturu, Yobe State.
As a Christian, she went out sharing the devotional, Rapsody of Realities when...
Boko Haram members attacked her along New Jerusalem Road, Damaturu, last weekend and killed her during the bombing spree that left over 150 Nigerians dead.
This incident has left great pain in the hearts of Eucharia's family and friends. One wonders why the NYSC leadership have refused to wake up to the realities on ground and take their decisions objectively. This is not the time to "foster National unity" by sending other peoples children to dangerous places while the children of the rich are kept in cozy offices in Abuja and Lagos.
It has never been reported that the son or daughter of a serving Minister, Senator or Governor died in any of these incidents. Abi them pikin no dey do NYSC? Food for thought! But how come Nigerian parents have also not taking NYSC to court over this act of wickedness? They MUST wake up from their slumber and begin to fight for the enforcement of their rights. Nobody can help you in this regard.
