Today Thursday 14th August 2014, makes it the 122nd day since the school
girls in the Chibok area of Borno state were abducted by Islamist
militant sect Boko Haram in April.
At PMAN‘s (Performing Musicians
Employee Association of Nigeria) peace pet project tagged Lighting Up
The Unity Flame, held earlier in the week at the PMAN office in Opebi,
Lagos, Kcee told reporters that he was quizzed about the girls while on
tour in America.
The “Limpopo” star said he was thoroughly embarrassed by questions on if the girls had been found.
He said;
“I
was thoroughly embarrassed in the US a couple of days ago while I was
on tour. In New York, the airport cab driver who took me to my hotel, as
soon as he discovered I was Nigerian asked, ‘have they found those
girls.’ I was so embarrassed I had nothing to say.
Again it happened in Los Angeles when another cab man asked me the same question.
Can
you imagine a cab man saying that? It was very embarrassing and I
realized that whether we like it or not, where ever we find ourselves in
the world, we must defend the image of our country but we have to start
from the very source of this problems.
That’s the reason I have come out to support PMAN today as it unveils its pet project which is the lighting of the unity flame.
Today
it is Ebola, tomorrow it is Boko Haram and before you say Jack
Robinson, it’s kidnapping. We all need to pull our resources together to
make change, we have the capacity to do that.”
