Obinna Okpokiri, another corps member who was killed in the post election violence in Bauchi

Obinna Okpokiri

Obinna like Ukeoma was dragged out of his corpers lodge, beaten, butchered and set on fire on Sunday April 17th by those bastards CPC fanatics in Bauchi State. Can you wish this kind of death on your worst enemy? Can you even begin to imagine the terror these corpers would have faced minutes before their brutal murders? To think Obinna left London to do his NYSC in Nigeria.

These young men can't die in vain. Their killers must be brought to book. Knowing the way our government operate in matters like this, their deaths will probably be swept under the carpet...just like others in the past...so how do we ensure that this doesn't happen this time?

This is not enough but there is a petition for the immediate withdrawal of Youth Corps members from trouble-prone states. Find it here
What else can we do as youths of this country?

Another young one goes home. RIP Chioma Chinnaya Ogbonna

Too many young people dying...what's going on?
