This is so touching!

This story highlights the failure of society to readily integrate its own. Poverty is quite a disease and we have seen how it has helped ruin several lives and communities entrenched deep inside it, especially in Africa. If the government did its job well, and if societal imbalance was removed, maybe, just maybe Akin would not have had to go through all of that hardship. Life deserves a lot more decency than this.

There is hunger. There is bitterness
There is anger in the land. If we don't make the right decisions today and now, then we must kiss goodbye to a prosperous tomorrow.

Need I say that there are several millions of Akins scattered across the length and breadth of the world? Where a failed society and a failed government thrives, there you will most certainly find an Akin.

Thanks for this beautiful story.
