The recent floods in Borno have been devastating, and even the Shehu’s palace wasn’t spared. We’re talking significant damage, with so many people displaced and struggling. But here’s where it gets real despite his own loss, the Shehu, like a true father to his people, didn’t crumble under the weight. Instead he wiped away his tears, rolled up his sleeves, and focused on helping those in need.
Verydarkman painted a picture that’s both heartbreaking and inspiring. Over "3,000 flood victims" have found shelter within the palace walls, relying on the Shehu’s generosity for their daily meals "30 days straight" of rice and provisions. Imagine that for a second: leading while carrying the burden of your own loss, yet still ensuring your people are cared for as if they were your own family. Now that’s a type of leadership we don’t see every day.
Verydarkman’s visit really showcased the human side of this tragedy. Walking through the palace, seeing people who have lost everything yet finding hope in the Shehu’s compassion how do you even process that? It a reminder of what true leadership looks like in the face of disaster. The Shehu actions aren’t just about providing shelter they’re about restoring dignity and giving people a sense of belonging, even in the darkest times.
Verydarkman didn’t just go there to report, he went to stand with the people and show solidarity with the victims and their king. His raw, emotional recount of the visit gives us all a peek into what it means to care for others when everything around you is falling apart. We all know Verydarkman for his outspoken nature, but this time, his message was clear and simple: the people of Borno need our thoughts, our prayers, and our action.
What hits hard is how, in the face of disaster, the Shehu stayed rooted, showing us that true leaders don’t break they rise. With the palace now doubling as a refuge, the Shehu has proven that compassion is stronger than any flood.
Please, y’all, let’s keep Borno in our thoughts and prayers 💔. We can’t ignore what’s happening there, and as Verydarkman has shown us, the smallest gesture can go a long way. These aren’t just numbers; these are people who need us now more than ever.
This isn’t just a visit or a photo this is real life. Verydarkman’s message rings true: no matter how tough the situation, leadership, love, and compassion always win. Let’s send our prayers, support, and strength to the people of Borno during these trying times 🙏.
