Undisputable Success Academy International School

NIGERIA WEEPS; ESIELE WEEPS!!!

The blackboard stands lonely.
Chalk lies broken in silence.
Desks that once carried dreams now carry fear.
The voices of children that should rise with songs and recitations have been swallowed by terror.

A teacher has fallen.
A guardian of knowledge.
A builder of futures.
One who left home to nurture destinies but never returned alive.

Who kills a teacher wages war against tomorrow.
Who kidnaps children kidnaps the hope of a nation.
The soil of Oriire has tasted innocent blood, and the air itself trembles with grief.

O departed educator,
you did not carry weapons,
you carried books.
You did not spread fear,
you spread light.
Yet darkness struck you down in the line of duty.

Now mathematics mourns.
English language mourns.
The assembly ground mourns.
The school bell rings like a cry in the wilderness.

The tears of mothers flood the earth.
Fathers stare helplessly into the night.
Colleagues stand broken, asking questions only heaven can answer.

How long shall classrooms become battlefields?
How long shall children learn under the shadow of gunmen?
How long shall teachers write lesson notes while death writes ambushes?

O God of mercy,
comfort the families of the slain.
Heal the wounded hearts.
Protect the captives in the forest.
Bring back every child.
Bring back every teacher.
And let the land know peace again.

To the soul of the departed,
may your sacrifice never be forgotten.
May your memory become a trumpet that awakens leaders and society.
And may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Esiele shall rise again.
Education shall speak again.
And light shall return where darkness tried to reign.
