Cry Of A Corper Brutalized In Zamfara

WHO WILL HEAR, AND NOT CRY?

The entire corps members serving in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara state are bleeding out purple blood. Our hearts are thumping out: strong rhythms of pain. Our dignity has been trampled and mangled with reckless impunity. God!

Today a corps member, Michael, serving his fatherland through sweat and bile; rough roads, hunger, merciless weather; and the shame of 19800 in the face of a smothering economy. Michael---serving in Nasara Standard Academy perceived as the shining light in a tottering secondary education system in Kaura Namoda--- was today brutalised, manhandled and reduced to nothingness by a brainless team comprising of the richest man in Kaura Namoda and his equally wanton boys. What was his crime?


Michael had punished his student who happens to be this man's ward. A simple kneel down. Michael who had nurtured these block heads with patience and love. Michael, who had taught with empty stomach till letters on the chalkboard danced like rampant music notes before his eyes. For all of us like Michael, who have stretched the capacities of our strengths and sensibilities to serve a stifling system. For all the ' under the sun and in the rain', what have we gotten as reward?


This notorious man, clenching his cash ridden fists, recruits the help of the police and in that shameless trotting of Zombies, storms Nasara Academy to crucify Michael like a criminal. He was punched like a sack of millet and stripped of humanity. He was beaten, beaten, and again beaten like he stole karats of gold in a jungle market. O God! My fingers are itching, and it's like they will drip blood. Michael was driven to the Police Station where the real torture awaited him.


They removed what was left of his pride as a Man serving his country. Then, they flogged and flogged him, and when their energy sapped out, the Evil of a man threw wads of naira notes about, and refueled their animalism. Michael was a heap of sorrow and a container of hot painful tears. As some of Michael's colleagues arrived and tried to raise their voices against the escalating reign of heartlessness; the Police men, some apparently drunk, threatened with pointed rifles, slapping and pushing them....


Hear me if you are a corps member in Kaura Namoda! We have been abused to our bones. We are now just remnants of pride sliced into irredeemable pieces. Our hearts have been pierced by hot pellets of searing pain. Our heads are now buried in shame. The little essence of our ghostly existence has been thoroughly erased. We are now empty, just plain empty.


Who will hear this and not cry? How can we move about when our sinews are depleted? Who will walk the long and dusty paths to schools to teach? Who will serve the masters under a sun that burns through skin and fluid? Who will hear this and not cry?


Nothing has been done. The engineer of this massive evil is an untouchable. A stinkingly rich sacred goat. He has played ping pong with our dignity and thinks he will get away with it because he is rich. Because our society is rotten and deceased of sense. Because our policeman are a bunch of kitted area boys. Because 'money' has shredded the spines of our moral make-up.



Michael is lying in a police cell, writhing in raw pain---- a soul beaten beyond repair. He has been physically wounded but more serious is the mental injury. But he is not alone. We are all wounded like Michael and our soul is burning from strife. Who will hear this and not cry? We therefore call on:


The state Government;
The State Coordinator NYSC;
The Emir of Kaura Namoda;
The Commissioner of Police;

Every Khaki and Jungle boot in Zamfara state and Nigeria as a whole. Let us roar and be heard. Tell the next person to tell another. Let our tales of woe reach the peak where justice crouches. The brutalisation of Michael in a land where he is vulnerable and hapless will not go without notice. Justice must be done. Corps members must be protected. Our dignity must be restored.

A zoo will remain a zoo, this is why we are fighting and dying to leave the zoo. If you think that something good will come out of Nigerian your on a long thing.. tribalism and nepotism have eaten deep in the marrow of Nigerians.. "Micheal"is a southern copper... divide this fucking country now ..

This is really bad and should not be swept under the carpet. No matter who the big man is, he should be brought to face the law. And the policemen...

All the one Nigerianist where at thou ??


Obviously, Michael a southerner and a Christian was viewed as a foreigner and an intruder who deserves to be dealt with


well, Michael should be happy not to had been lynched cus anything is possible in the North

.

He should sue the school and Nigerian police for damage

Lovely poem!

God, please destroy the zoo now.

Some animals in d zoo are developing the mad cow disease otherwise known as MALOTIVITIES

"lynched" in the north ?? you know you are lying. have you ever been to the north?? you hardly hear about lynching. the only place a stranger suffers is when he is in the village part of northern Nigeria where there is high rate if illiteracy. even their if you are cool their they will love and cherish you it depends on how you live with them.

and to the topic even if it is northerner or an Hausa the rich idiot will do same i hate those people. and am sure it is a village and he is the richest village so he feels like the king of the village.

ok

I remember my service year. The principal warned us about issues like these. Just respect yourself, teach,punish them instead of flogging and always let things slide

Poor corper. He wasn't informed of how backward most northern parts are. For those intending to serve, don't carry your southern mentality there.

Study them. And pray for your pop to come fast.


But the north was fun tho.

Ok

During my service year in Kebbi, they told us not to flog any child because it makes them not to come to school. There and direct I told my principal that I am the only exception to that rule.

Come and see the big cane I always come to school with, all the pupils were scared of me.

This OP will be a good story teller...abeg mk he narrate the story of PMB in London

Why not narrate what happened in simple, easy-to-read, comprehensible English?

flyca:
Say what transpir3d in simple English

Leave am make him see write Nollywood script.

DonCortino:
Lovely poem!

Real lovely poem.

@op, what happened to Michael is what happens every minute in Nigeria.

I hope you read the story about dss beating some secondary school teachers because of the same punishment.

What happened to the case?

Under the carpet.

Suck it up and tell Michael to go and sit down.

What does he think "serving my fatherland" means?

You think it's all roses and honey?

Oga I served for north, Zaria to be precised, and some of those people there just dey find the slightest reason to Lynch ur soul

@Poster:

Please provide some proof such as picture, or the link to the Facebook profile of the corp member allegedly assaulted.

Moreover, please name the so-called "richest man in Kaura Namoda" who instigated the assault.

Until more details are provided, I regard this as fiction.

I think everyone should share this on whatsapp,Facebook etc till the authorities get to know about it.

Apaarapo of corpers (Association of Corpers) in Zamfara shld just sue the rich man with a 200million lawsuit.... Simple

All this long story just to say he was beaten, I find this writeup very annoying

OP... We need pictures

The evil men up north and their imbecilic supporters are always looking for christian blood to quench their maniacal thirst


Those animals up north do not suscribe to western values of freedom of speech or peaceful resolution of differences. The only philosophy they follow is that prescribed by a marauding slavemaster in the 1500s which allows for toture and ruthlessness to any perceived weak foe. They will kill for any cause as long as the victim isn't strong enough to resist

Corpers and the likes should know that northern Nigeria is not your familiar lagos neighbourhood. Be extra careful. Those animals have the devil inside them and will play on your weakness to maim and destroy anything or anyone
