What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

For me at this moment in my life, what I fear the most is not disease or the loss of a loved one. I fear not becoming the person that I think I’m supposed to be and the person I want to be. At times, they are the same and at other times they don’t coincide.

The fluid nature of the differences between being, becoming, and expecting to be creates a form of anxiety rooted in fear. This fear can include not being the husband, father, leader, professional, son, community leader, or person who consistently stands up against injustice. A person that I believe I am, want to be, others expect me to be, or am supposed to be.

In the end, I understand that we just need to be. Here today and in the moment, regardless this is the fear that creeps up unexpectedly from time to time.

The recent recovery of a baby allegedly sold for a staggering N25 million in Ebonyi State, with the biological mother reportedly receiving only N700,000, has sent shockwaves across Nigeria. This disturbing incident serves as a stark and painful reminder of the rampant issue of child trafficking that continues to plague communities, preying on vulnerability and perpetuating unimaginable harm. According to reports, the swift intervention of the Ebonyi State Government led to the rescue of the infant and the commencement of investigations into what appears to be a deeply entrenched child trafficking ring.
