When I read this news, my immediate reaction is what is the   future for our dear country, Nigeria?
We are not at war but the killings are on every time.   We should maintain peace  and strife  for progress, harmony, and reduce conflict.
        This is the right time  to invest very heavily on our children in many productive field .  Sending  them to war for any immediate gain  is not the answer to the  complex problems ahead of the country.   We  parents, regardless of our religious solidarity,  must honestly  discourage  children from addiction t o destruction  of life and property.    
This behavior is gaining  ground in North Nigeria  where there is total misinterpretation of what constitutes peaceful living. The case of Boko Haram is an unpleasant example which the previous administration of Jonathan  failed to address as a fire on the roof.  It behooves  the   administration of President  Buhari  to play soft on Boko  Haram.      
            Please I am appealing  to all parents  to kindly talk to their children to drop their weapons and refrain from the  deceit of  Boko Haram .   Children who were drawn into conflict/ war in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Afghanistan, Ruwanda and many other places blamed themselves at the end of the  war.    Let us work together to solve the problem of  Boko Haram    and face other pressing needs like light, water, road safety employment and others.
