Stand up for peace!

       Here is the truth, the blame game is a very terrible idea at this point in time. I mean, even if the fingers point at the actual person or people at fault, it wouldn't change the past; it certainly will not correct the present and will most certainly ruine the future.

       You find things like 'the north refused to debate for independence', 'the civil war must be revenged', 'the various coups that led to the murder of dignitaries is the problem', 'no, goodluck caused instability in Nigeria', 'it can be traced to obasanjo', 'or IBB'... Seriously what solutions do all of these offer?

       It is good to know your history, know where things went wrong and try to correct them. The blame game will only result it chaos. People are hungry, suffering and dying. Do you really want the separation at this point? If you were one of the Chibok girls, their parents, a victim in Jos, Abuja, Kano, yobe, etc. how would you feel if your fellow country men not only don't show sympathy but don't care an atom about you?

       There are so many people that are greedy, careless, selfish, heartless, worthless, it just goes on and on. But would you just take your actions based on these people? What about those who sleep under the bridge in Lagos; the widowed mother of 5 in Enugu; the crippled almajiri in Kano, the father whose only source of income(taxi) got destroyed in Abuja; the orphan with cancer in Asaba; the girls in Sambisa forest? These are people worth fighting for. People whose voices are not heard.

       So i say if you must argue, argue for unity in diversity, speak for your poor countrymen who have been oppressed for decades. If you must speak, speak for peace.
