THE STRENGTH TO RISE AGAIN

Voice of the people -

  Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." – Martin Luther King Jr.




In times like these—when our people are under attack, our lands are stained with the blood of the innocent, and our leaders turn away in silence—we are tempted to lose hope. But hope is not weakness. Hope is power. It is the force that moves nations, awakens courage, and births new beginnings.


We have seen too many graves dug in Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, and other corners of this nation where justice seems buried. But we must not let despair be the end of our story.


As the voice of the people, I must say: our pain must become our prophecy. We must not give up. Not now. Not ever.


Let us rise from this mountain of despair, and let each voice, each step, each action be the stone of hope that rebuilds our land.
