The Last Of The Dapchi Girls, Leah Sharibu: Where Is The Hope Of Freedom? 2 Years Counting

It is quite significant to remind the authorities in Abuja today that the nation is still waiting for freedom for Citizen Leah Sharibu, the only Dapchi schoolgirl and Christian who is still being held in captivity because of her faith. Some aid workers had the other day raised concern about her safety but the Federal Government said all was well with her and they were continuing with negotiation to set her free. We feel it is expedient to remind the president that people’s anxiety is beginning to turn to fear of the unknown. And the implication is that when hope is deferred, as the ancient word notes, it makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. While Zainab Aliyu, a Muslim girl who was arrested and detained in Saudi Arabia for alleged drug trafficking and whose release was secured through the intervention of the Federal Government, arrived in the country the other day, families and well-wishers marked the 16th birthday of Leah Sharibu, still he...

Wales manager, Ryan Giggs, has given his verdict over who is better between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Giggs, who played alongside Ronaldo during the Portugal captain’s time at Manchester United, insists that while he will always speak highly of the 34-year-old, Messi has proved to be a “genius” with his displays over the years. “Obviously I lean towards Ronaldo a little bit because I played with him and saw him develop as a player. “But Messi is a genius, he’s a once in a lifetime player. It’s as simple as that,” he said.
