The Nigerian media space has been recently suffused with trivia and jokes about the 2016 Federal budget. At first it was “missing”, then “padded”, and later “found”.

Dear sisters, brothers and friends,
We are all ware of the abduction of 234female secondary school pupils from Chibok in Bornu State by Boko Haram. We know that the girls who were taken into the dreaded Sambisa forest have not been found nor released to date.
