The Carnage in Jos, Nigeria.

From time to time, we hear of people dying and we grieve especially if it was someone we knew who had lived a good life.
All over Nigeria, I am yet to see a group of people who do not grieve at the passing of a loved one. People who die are buried amid tears and soon afterwards, there is a feast and merry-making for everybody.

The Jos sectarian crisis has been played out by the International Media organisations to be a fallout between Christian and Muslim groups in the state.
They have no problem referring to Nigeria as the Muslim North and the Christian South. What can be farther from the truth??
People who just got sucked into the fight are as well propagating the lie that the crisis is between the Christians and the Muslims.
While I do not dispute that both groups are attacking and carrying out reprisal attacks on each other, great care should be made to diffuse the current crisis and get to the root of the problem in Jos.
The latest killings are condemnable, abominable and people who carried out the carnage should be made to die in a burning pit.

Some have dubbed the crisis political while a supposed Islamic group has taken responsibilty for the latest wave of killings.
Whatever the reasons adduced by any group, a fact of life remains that HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

The media will not be awash with the most gory pictures understandably and some social sites that published uncensored pictures have taken them down. Pictures of people dying and being buried in a vague manner is what you will see in the local and international media.
What I saw happened in Jos is beyond words. Human beings roasted like Sallah rams with their intestines out in the open well done. God Abeg o...

I am out of words to describe the details of what I saw.

God should not be a pretext to genocide. Religious homogeneity does not in anyway guarantee the peace and stability of a society.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria is constitutionally a secular society and any attempts by any social, cultural, political or religious group to advance its interests in any way detrimental to the country should be dealt with appropriately in accordance with the rule of Law.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria as long as we the People decide to live amicably and eschew acts that questions our collective sanity.
