They have all been wasted, killed by some blood-thirsty terrorist group called Boko Haram. What is the position of the various governments in those zones? How long will many more lives be sacrificed?\u00a0 Nigerian masses can no longer sit down and watch. We shall begin a historic walk from CMS on May 1 by 9am and pass through major highways all over Lagos, singing protest songs and echoing our thoughts on the stolen dreams of these children. Enough is enough, we can no longer bear it,\u201d stated the aide who would not want his name mentioned because he was not authorized to speak to the press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 STOLEN DREAMS!
