Due to the devastation left in the wake of Boko Haram
attacks, those that live to tell their stories now face what seem like a bleak future.
Countless lives have been taken. Families torn apart and
worlds shattered. Families have watched their loved ones slaughtered before
their very eyes. Children have become orphans either from parents being killed
or losing their parents during desperate attempts to escape their villages
alive.
From having homes, regardless if they were small huts, to now
sleeping on open fields with no food, shelter nor clothing beyond what’s on
their bodies. From having a source of livelihood to feed their families, to over
night, becoming beggars depending on handouts from government or civil groups,
to survive.
During a 3 day informative visit to Gombe State, Modupe
Ozolua and her foundation, Body Enhancement Foundation, visited many temporary
camps and host communities harboring the displaced Nigerians and announced
their intentions to help by taking on the challenge of properly rehabilitating
as many families as they can.
Ozolua has informed both the Gombe government officials and
displaced persons that her foundation has a strategic plan on how to help them
reintegrate back into society and regain their lost dignity. Arrangements to
commence rehabilitating them within the next few days are currently underway.
