I know that this is nothing new. But please hearing this from a 3 years old girl makes me shudder.

I was on my way to the office in the morning when I saw buses lined up in the compound and many children (from 12 years downward) gathered. I asked questions as to what was happening and I was told that they were going for children conference, (it's Anglican children ministry programme). OK. Now, by the time I was returning from office, I saw the little girl standing with her parents and I went to her and asked her:

Me: "Treasure, why didn't you go for the children's conference?"

Treasure: "Because Boko Haram is there!"

I was shocked. We are not even in the North. We are here in the South - South.

The question now is, is this what are children will learn from or meet in this generation?

Please parents, is it possible to hide this things from our children?

God bless Nigeria!
