On involving social media (Facebook):
This was neither accidental nor due to unpreparedness. What you are seeing today is something I have carefully thought about for over six years, dating back to 2019/2020.
Although I have spent recent years in Lagos, I am not unaware of the issue at hand.
Without doubt, this is an internal matter that should be resolved internally. I strongly believe that we have capable elders and traditional rulers who are entrusted with the responsibility of handling such issues affecting Lim.
This is not a choice for them—it is a duty. I am only a young person among many.
Expecting me to raise such concerns before those responsible take action places a burden on me that I should not have to carry.
Why bring this to social media?
In the past, journalists would physically investigate such matters and report them, thereby calling attention and holding responsible parties accountable. Social media now serves a similar purpose, especially for communities like Lim that may not receive such direct coverage.
Taking this matter to social media was not an attempt to resolve it, but to remind those responsible of their duties. Accountability remains theirs, not mine.
*You may ask why I did not approach the elders or relevant parties directly.*
That is a fair question. However, the simple answer is: *it is not my duty to do so.
In conclusion:
My intention was not to settle this issue on social media, but to call attention to it and remind our elders that addressing such sensitive internal matters is their responsibility, not mine.
Thank you.
