Kayla Mueller was the States
humanitarian worker that was captured by the Islamic state - ISIS in Syria and
killed by retaliatory attack by the Jordan. She chose to serve humanity even at
the expense of her life. In the face of challenges, she was brave and strong.
In 2014, she wrote a letter to her family and friends to express her deep sense
of commitment. She also advised her people not to give in to fear and gave a
piece of advice which we can uphold as a country.
Her words are italicized as
contained in the letter
THE
SALIENT MESSAGES FROM KAYLA
“has come to a place in experience where, in
every sense of the word, she needs to surrender herself to her creator b/c
literally there was no else….+ by God + by prayers Nigeria will feel tenderly
cradle in freefall”.
Nigeria is in a state of tensed
political dispensation and the only thing we need now is God. For Nigeria as a
country we need to seek God through prayer.
“The gift that is each one of you + the person
I could + could not be if you were not a part of my life, my family, my
support.”
We
should remember that united we stand and divided we fall. We need all Nigerians
to come together in unity.We should find strength in our diversity. We should not allow rivalry emanating from
ethnicity, religion and GREED to break our great Country.
“I have asked these women
to support you; please seek their advice. If you have not done so already,
[redacted] can contact [redacted] who may have a certain level of experience
with these people.”
At this crucial time of our
dear country, our leaders should think about our women (girls, children and
mothers) who because of these rivalry and partisans politics had experienced
bitterness, rape and death. They should think about posterity and allow peace
to remain. Election should be conducted without bloodshed. Provide maximum
security and prevent further occupy Nigeria
We did not know that Nigeria will
still be in the state of “comma”. We thought the country would become our haven
in a short time at the transition to democracy. Unemployment, erratic power
supply, insurgency and corruption are our experiences. Despite all these, let
us remain stronger than ever and NEVER give in no matter how long it takes for
we shall experience freedom in the end.
