THE GROUND ITSELF

Giving the extreme movement of Boko Haram in the eastern region of Nigeria, which began 2009 has brought maut at no ten thousand souls and caused at least two million souls of confusing, a small amount of luck has now been able to return to his hometown.

Those who are not fortunate must live in a place, become refugees to a number of neighbor countries, also to other regions in Nigeria are considered safer.

Most of them, 13.481 citizens according to Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre/May 2016, stranded in the capital of Nigeria, Abuja. A city built in 1976, the result of Nigeria’s oil golden time.

They are called 'internally displaced people' (IDPs) or internal refugees and occupy a number of shelter pocket points behind the magnificent buildings in Abuja. One of the only villages of Kuchigoro area, about six kilometers from the city center towards the airport direction.

The camp is excavated about 1,500 souls with a prioritizing condition. Hundreds of them are children.

Most of the cottage is not interrupted. Collaps and dark. Some build their cottage by dividing space for bed and sitting room. Kitchen is located outside, for cooking with firewood.

Looking for a rice cook for them is not an easy thing in Abuja, because the previous job most of them is to match the plant.

A number of help continues to be handy for them. As the development of clean water channels, solar power, food and medicine, education for children as well as other assistance.

However, the year has passed the condition of the settlement is still far to be said to be viable, especially for children who are prone to disease.

Live continues to run and they do not endeavor that the government can quickly dissolve the conflict of Boko Haram and they can return to their hometown for the future of their grandchildren.
