I have stopped reading these stories coming from Nigeria. They add to my migraines. They make me sick. I don’t want to have another set of brain surgeries. I’ve had one too many. When your skull has been opened on three spots, you would do anything to avoid a repeat. The tragedy of Nigeria’s mismanagement as underscored by this heart-rending catastrophe is another brain-damaging saga that every sane society should avoid. Where are the kabiyesis, local government chairmen, the governors, and, of course, the president under whose watch all these have been going on and on at will without serious consequences? Lord have mercy! Politicians are too busy buying votes from the uninformed citizens, campaigning about their futures in a government that only cares for the one making those empty campaign promises, they don’t give a damn whose child, brother, sister, mother, father, friend or colleague is being slaughtered in the jungle we call home! Where is th military government that instituted firing squad in Nigeria when armed robbers would not let citizens rest? Why can’t the same decree be enacted, so that anyone caught in banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, and any other violent crime against the people be subjected to such heavy sanction? Our nation is sick. May God heal us and heal us NOW through the hands of the people. So sad!
