Letter To Ese

Dear Ese,

Have I failed you as a brother? How do you see me now? Like a brother who don't even care about your well being? If yes, what can I do to change the thought? I have been up since I heard about what you have been through in an unknown house with a wicked old man since you were 13. Wait?! Since last year? Oh Ese, all you wanted was good education and a bright future but? But? Who should we blame for this Ese? Mother and daddy for being poor? The government? The people?

*Ese Please Answer Me* (Cries).

You should see how Nigerians are fighting for your come back Ese, we have missed you. Mother can't stop crying, siblings and friends can't stop weeping.

Ese! Ese!! Ok, please answer me. "Will you ever get over the trauma? Will you ever forgive the country and the useless old fool that did this to you? Ese! Ese! Stop crying, I have failed you but please, make our parents, friends happy again. Think of how mama tried her best to give everything despite not having.

Ese, I can't hold the tears from falling. I have to stop here, my ink is running out and I have no money to buy another. We love you Ese, you are not Aisha, you are not bride Ese, you are our own!

Dear Mama Ese,

Stop shedding those tears anymore mama. I just wrote to ESE about how we have been fighting for her release. Guess what? ESE is free! She's coming home!!! ( smiles) . Mama, common, we need to be strong for our little daughter.
*See see mama see* See Ese's beautiful picture when she was 10. She's happy about her come back mama. Freedom at last mama, Freedom!

Dear Old Man,

You are a big disgrace to your tribe, religion and generation. You have failed your religion, tribe and people. You are a depiction of SHAME! Ever thought of getting a pay back? Don't you have children? Ok, ever put your shoes in Ese's shoes since you..... You shall reap whatever you sow.

No to ChildAbuse!

Dear Nigerians.

Thank you for creating Awareness... Let's build a Nation of Rule of Law!
