A lady opened up about growing up in the North and how the extremism people see today didn’t just appear overnight — it has roots, history, and scars. Her story unlocked a floodgate, and suddenly others began sharing the kind of experiences that make your chest tighten.
One person recalled: “That’s how we escaped being killed that year while coming back from Gombe. Our saviour was the driver — a Muslim — who helped us, and my dad who happened to look Hausa.”
This isn’t negativity; it’s people finally voicing the terrifying moments they’ve carried for years. Stories like these show how complicated Nigeria truly is — a place where danger and unexpected kindness can collide in the same breath.
