Dear Activists, Perhaps I have never really understood how activism works, you see I am just a journalist. It disturbs me each day when I recall how 276 girls were kidnapped in Nigeria, something that took the world about 3 weeks to notice. Over lunch a few weeks ago I mentioned to a friend how I was at a complete loss following the overflow of "Hash tag activism" that even got the attention of #Flotus among many other leaders locally and internationally. But several weeks later, only 50 girls gave been reunited with their families, (I hope to God that it is true) leaving 226 still missing. The offial number communicated in 219 girls still missing, I don't know what happened to the 7. Now the world has gone silent on #bringbackourgirls. If this doesn't call for change of tack in the world of activism, then you should hang your brand new boots because there's no *walking* on those twitter streets. Once upon a time, Noise = Activism, but the world has changed sin
