TERRORISM IN MY FAMILY

    No news yet about the 234 abducted girls. Everybody is living a normal life. Those at the presidential villa are still squandering the naira, budgetting millions for food et al. How can a parent be quiet about their abducted children? Everybody going about their normal biz as if nothing has happened... 
In the end, we blame Nigeria. Have we ever tried to ponder on who Nigeria is? Nigeria is you and I. Its our siblings, nieces, nephews, children that have been abducted. 
Then again, you and I (Nigerians) are too weak or too selfish to fight for the rights of our very own. We are too busy focused on Our selfish desires. 
I weep bitterly for my people. How insensitive we all are. 
But then again, if we all halt our activities and search/war for the missing girls, isn't this exactly what their abductors want'? What then is the way forward? How do we curb this cancer eating deep into our spine? How do we conquer terrorism unleashed on our family?

HOW TO CURB BOKO HARAM




   Today, 14th April 2014, a very sad event happened. There was a bomb explosion at Nyanya bus park in Abuja. 71 dead bodies were identified. About 124 were injured. President Goodluck Jonathan believes it to be masterminded by the religious/political extremist terrorist group (BOKO HARAM).
 




       This group has been held responsible for several killings across Nigeria especially since 2010. Their victims are often situated around North/Central Nigeria. It is my understanding that most Nigerians do not support these killings. Thus this write up. Dearest Nigerians, how do we curb this menace? What suggested steps do we take to move our beloved nation off this?

 
             
 

Uncontrollable tears

   

      
         Today I find it difficult to control my tears. Why did I cry? Hell reigned on Nigerians in Abuja today and Heaven was not enough to comfort me and them and their loved ones. I know I should say 'May their gentle soul rest in perfect peace' but how may times have I said that in the past and how many times more would I have to say that in the future? How do I tell the victims why they have to die? How do I make them understand any of this craziness? How do I dry th...their te...tears! My God!!! *tears roll* ..............................No. I will not understand. I will not understand until They (Perpetrators) understand that today I say Enough is Enough! Today we (TRUE NIGERIANS) say Enough is Enough! And if you must not listen, know this: VENGEANCE IS COMING. RETRIBUTION IS COMING...COMING TO SAVE YOU....OR NOT. That will be the ultimate question, eventually.
