If you ever had an opportunity to
turn back the hands of clock, way back before that infamous Liberian forcefully
evaded immigration officials and imported the deadly Ebola Virus Disease into

Prior
to July 20, 2014, one of Nigeria’s biggest problems was how to bring an end to
insurgency in the northern part of the country. It was all about rescuing
nearly 200 school girls kidnapped at a town in Borno, North-East of the
country. A group of girls were kidnapped at a government college in a town
known as Chibok. This moved the government into ‘action’ as civil society
groups, the international community, and every citizen saw this as a collective
battle.
