 In the spirit of celebration of Christmas, which is the birth of the saviour, hundreds of children, orphans and widows of internally displaced persons living in Maraba, Rideau, Chikun, local government area of Kaduna state have sued for love, peace and end of insecurity challenges confronting the country. The humanitarian and eco-smile support empowerment initiative say the IDPs need to be loved and celebrated by all, noting that the children have potential to become great leaders while urging the government to end insecurity in the country. If you ask most of the kids here and even the parents, they will tell you, they want to go back to their communities, that they are tired of staying here because where they are coming from, they are kings and queens, but unfortunately for them, see where they are today living at the messes of the communities where they are. So that's why we're begging the government to please help us, bring an end to this insecurity, let people go back to their communities. Also the humanitarian who visited the IDPs donated items to put a smile on the children, orphans and widows faces. Christmas is a reason of love, it's not about me, it's not about my family, it's about giving out. And when I think of it, who do I give to? Is it to the rich? No, it's to the less privileged. These people have their homes, they have their parents. Most of them are now orphaned, most of them are widows, they are widowers, they were displaced. Now they have to stay in the cold and the sun. So these are people we have to celebrate with. So that's what brought us here, to put a smile on their face and to see to what we can do to actually educate them by supporting them with the educational materials, with writing materials and all the rest. Some of the internally displaced children expressed excitement over the gesture with food items to celebrate Christmas. Even here, mother will stay still, they are busy calling me again. They brought some rice and some candles and even on this ice pace, they give me. And we are so happy for how they are bringing things for us. I made a lot bless them. I feel so excited that I think of my community that I left. Bandits chased us from our community and they killed so many of our parents, our aunties, uncles. There was school but they made us to run and we came here to stay because here is not happy like our community. In our community, you see, even though it's night, we'll be sleeping outside, playing, farming. But here, we don't even have farm to farm. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
