Today's Epistle:
To the Nigerian Child On this Children’s Day,
We celebrate you,
But tears dey mix with our smile.
While some Children dey blow bollon bollon on top bouncing castle while chopping jollof rice and sweet cake,
Some of our Children still dey inside dark forest,
Chained by wicked men, crying for mama wey no fit save them.

But Today, as we celebrate Children, we carry you for mind...
Though we failed you.
Families failed you.
Society failed you.
This nation and all her institutions failed you.
We dey sorry.
Deep, deep sorry.
We allowed wicked hands to steal your innocence,
To snatch your laughter,
To turn your childhood into fear and darkness.
Some of you dey still dey inside captivity...
Crying for mama, searching for home,
While we dey here dey mark Children’s Day....

Your pain dey cut us like knife.
But listen to me, my strong pikin:
All hope is not lost.
You are not forgotten.
Your tears are seeds.
Your stolen innocence will become fire.
Your pain will birth a generation that will never allow this nonsense again.

The current pains are but the seeds.
for a better, peaceful and prosperous NIGERIA...
and wey nobody fit kill.
You are the light darkness never fit quench.
Rise, my pikin.
Even from the depth of the forest, rise in your mind.
Even from the valley of tears, rise with your dreams.

The Nigeria wey you deserve is being born by you.
And when you arrive, you go shine brighter than all our failures.

Happy Children’s Day, my precious warriors.
We love you.
We dey sorry.
And we dey rise with you.

And then we move!
