Memories
This pictures were taken on 12 July 2011. Everyone was traumatized and Victimized by the Boko Haram. People were migrating to various Safer places. I can Remember my neighbours migrate to KANO, WUDIL, KADUNA, ABUJA, PATASKUM and Some to Damaturu, we were left alone and still alive. When Transport fare from Maiduguri to Damuturu cost over N5000, it was even rare to find saloon cars only Trucks and Lorries are used for mass transit. All the Shops and Markets were closed, we trek for more than kilometers to find food stuffs for shelter.
Everywhere is as silent as grave by both Noon and Night hours, all we can here is gun shots.
>> The Times of no one knows who is who.
>> The times of nothing like the Civilian Joint Task Force CJTF
>> The times when there is an attack in your Vicinity. Everyone migrates to some place safe for their life.
>> The times when Villages are peaceful.
>> The times when no one stays for long duration in Majalis.
>> The times when Maiduguri is called Afghanistan.
>> The times no one wears Black or Combat trousers. Alhamdulillah. Now we are experiencing peace in our state. May He absolutely Restore peace in our dear state. May He Guide and Protect our Nigerian Army to Demolish those lunatics"
