Jose foundation address at the House of Lords ...Palace of Westminister

Good evening, Lord Ramsbotham I greet you . I thank you very much for this
invitation to the Upper chamber in the palace of westminister, I am indeed
honoured and my foundation, the Jose Foundation and its entire team excited.
I also want to recognise the Save the Children organisation UK along with the
Nepal Child Rescue Foundation who have helped bring this strategic meeting to
being.
Jose Foundation was established in 2003, inspired by the visit of her Majesty
the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh when she challenged the Government and
People of Nigeria to address and eradicate the circumstances that led to the
pitiful state of the displaced children in Nigeria vis-a-vis Africa.
Over the past decades however, the Jose Foundation has reached out to the less
privileged and made progress through contributions and financial assistance in
relevant sectors of the Nigerian polity through government institutions such as
hospitals, motherless babies homes and institutions that protect the disabled.
Since Her Majesty's visit, Nigeria has experienced change in its democratic
government and successive leaders have continued with the inspiration albeit to
the best of their abilities. However, in recent times, there have been
insurgence and ethnic upheavals leading to high levels of violence and
kidnappings in the Niger Delta areas and much more recently Islamic
fundamentalism by a sect known as Boko Haram striking in the North East of
NIgeria unleashing violence on an unprecedented level using bombs,ambush,
gorilla warfare and military and para military suicide bombers including
children especially young females that have been kidnapped and brain washed into
suicide bombing .
Jose Foundation, being unable to participate actively in ameliorating the
effects of the war against insurgency, due to being ill equipped to fight
against insurgency, has began to find relevance because the 10 months old
government of President Muhammadu Buhari has been able to repeal the insurgents
and create safe camps for internally displaced people, a majority of whom are
children. We now can show our zeal as it is safe to work in such camps .
The internally displaced people is part of what I have come here to sensitise
your Lordships about. For the first time in the history of Nigeria, we have a
discipline, corrupt free leadership under the impeccable person of President
Muhammadu Buhari, which without any doubt will make our tasks a lot easier.
Donations are bound to reach the people it is meant for. We at Jose Foundation
are partnering with Save the Children organisation UK, Nepal Child rescue
foundation, the Wellbeing Foundation and a host of other like minded non
governmental organisations to help the Nigerian government ease this burden and
end this crisis and humanitarian catastrophe . Over 200 children from the Chibok
village are still missing, though the government is also making tremendous
efforts to bring back the girls . Many children need expert care and counselling
to help them return to normal life . My Lords, I can go on all day but I will
not. Our organisation along with our partners and like minded organisation have
an opportunity to operate in the North East region of Nigeria, making us begin
the process of education, counselling, rebuilding communities and harmonising
families . We will continue till we are satisfied we have won the peace.

We are also not naive to think that Jose Foundation can do this alone,
we need
help and we need it urgently.

I thank you for listening and will look forward for more
invitations to discuss more details and strategies for implementation at your
earliest convenience. Thank you very much my Lords.
