Where has our humanity gone? While the finale of big brother naija doused the social media, a life was lost and little children and the girl child were rendered home less. Tonight we sleep with whatever form of shelter we have the lives of the people otodogbame hangs on the little canoe on the water. Is island development taking away our Humanity?
