We take what we have for-granted...we Nigerians...we are in a position to become anything we want to be but we have millions of reasons why wouldn't dare...corruption had done all is toil, bad governance is heading a mob, gentlemen are walking the streets without a source of living, thousands are dying for poor health care...so many things are going wrong...all these are heartbreaking no doubt, but none will compare to the doom that awaits this country if we spark off a civil war...a country like Nigeria is not designed to survive from things like that...am not talking of the brafia-civil war kind...am talking of one that will divide us so badly no glue can make sense out of Nigeria...
People are shouting and calling for war, fight, for violence...try to visit war-town Syria, then Somalia,...if you cant, read about their experience...not even your religion is worth staking against peace...when thing go really gaga, you would wish for one more opportunity to walk the same street with that your supposed enemy...resist being pushed to take a life or strike a fellow...
Boko Haram has survived so far because we are yet to see it as a national enemy---we keep thinking we are our enemies.
But what they are doing today...is not new. They are Bombing churches today, not because they are Muslims but because they want Christians to think Muslims are responsible...the only hope here is to protect ourselves, our homes and places of worship...then to stick together in dealing with this mad people...not to raise arms against ourselves...
If Islam was the enemy, why would Boko Haram be the weapon...Are Muslims scared of attacking Christians directly? What's the worst...if they are ready for the result of Boko Haram's madness, why wont they be ready for the result of their own actions? I say this again, Islam is not the enemy...we had our rough times as followers of two different religions, but this Boko Haram is not one of them...at least so I think! Think twice before you use your device...you dont want to see blood dropping from your eyes!
Let us disappoint doom-sayers...let us continue to manage ourselves...it's ok that way...when its really time to defend yourself do so, but don't attack the innocent; if you cant take revenge on the person that has hurt you directly, live vengeance for God, if you believe in him. Only God is Omnipresence and omnipotent, he can deal with Boko Haram, stop trying to do God's work. if he needs your help, he will tell you...
