The Little Girl Who Spoke Loudly in Silence

Just like every other child living in Ani-Dinma Camp of Akwukwu-Igbo in Oshimili North, they have no access to the basic necessities of life such as basic form of education, accessible road network, potable water supply and primary healthcare facility.

These kids live and grow up in such conditions not knowing that they have the Rights to these basic necessities and amenities.

What really did this little girl ask of the Oshimili North LGA Chairman when he visited the camp site; a visit the dwellers said was “first of it’s kind” since they settled there.

She didn’t ask for anything because she couldn’t communicate in English.

But her eyes spoke volumes.

Her innocent look cried out with hope.

Her silence screamed for a better life.

And all these, Hon. Innocent Esewezie ‘saw and heard’ and promised to make a difference and bring the desired change to them.
