A Freedom Fighter of My Country Contest #3 by @xkool24 _ Aisha Yesufu (Nigeria) - 100% Power Up

BIOGRAPHY

Aisha Yesufu is a vibrate young lady in her mid-40s from Etsako Edo state but was raised in Kano state all in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. She studied micro-biology from the Bayero University Kano where she obtained her degree certification.

She is married with children, microbiologist, businesswoman and a social/political activist who became more conspicuous during the era of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaign of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls in 2014. She was the co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girl (BBOG) campaign with a strong force also from Oby Ezekwesili whose joint efforts tarried tirelessly in several protests demanding for the release of the abducted girls by terrorists in Chibok. This pressure group got the attention of the world and most first ladies of the world powers seeking Federal government unconditional push for the release of the abducted school children.

AISHA YESUFU’s WORK ON ACTIVISM

Aisha Yesufu involvement in the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) in 2014 by lending her voice to the kidnapped Chibok girls was a catalyst that brought her into the main stream of activism in the country. Though in some of her interviews, she participated in a number of protests while in school which must have shaped her from the onset towards identifying herself into full stream of activism. Speaking up against injustice as she will always say was an avenue to give back to her society.

In the same struggle to free the Chibok girls, Aisha Yesufu was the Sit-Out Coordinator and then Chairperson of the Strategic Team of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign group. In April 2014, there was a sit-in protest at the Unity Fountain to compel the government to bring back the remaining girls despite all forms of intimidation and harassment by Nigerian security agents.

During the #EndSArs campaign in October 2020, she was a very active member in this course. This Protest was geared against police brutality that eventually led to the dissolution of the SARS tactical unit on Sunday, October 11, 2020, by the Inspector General of Police. Aisha Yesufu has been seen physically present in at least over 100 protests in Nigeria as she is now known to be one of the positive change voice in the country.

Just recently, Aisha Yesufu is said to have joined the league of most influential women in Nigeria and world at large. This was confirmed by enlisting Aisha Yesufu from BBC’s 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for the year 2020. According to BBC, this year’s list highlighted those who are leading change and making a difference during these turbulent times.

This was one of her quotes in one of the interviews she granted: “For me, activism has been part of me all my life. I am somebody that stands up against injustice because I have a ‘big mouth.’” Funny though but this is what she stands for.
