After reading this I felt like crying and I bet u'll cry or
feel sober after reading this piece.
This is a tribute by A Facebook user Bajo Joel Josiah
to all the victims of wukari crisis last year and the one
that just finished, its actually painful and so touching,
if we can have youths with positive minds, youth that
are not biased, youths that seperate peace from
religon then Taraba will be a better place and Nigeria
as a whole

"I LOST A FRIEND.
I LOST A BROTHER
I LOST AN UNCLE
I LOST AN INLAW
Ibrahim, I missed the designs you make on my
clothes.
Habu, I miss the times we always play football
matches; Arsenal vs manchester united
Salisu, I miss the times we go to the farm of baba
Kaci riba to steal cashew and mangoes.
I miss the times when I was always entertained by
traditional wrestling (chari) and hawan kaho on the
eve of sallah day.
I miss those days when we are entertained by snake
charmers and high flying monkeys.
All that is gone now.
All that is no more.
I don't know the whereabout of ibrahim my
childhood friend.
I heard that biliya is dead.
Tall grasses now cover our football field
Only broken walls tells you of the sojourn of humans
in my neighbourhood.
I DONT BELIEVE ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF VIOLENCE.
Politics has played on our senses, we entered an Era
where politicians try to acquire power by all means
possible, even inciting us against each other. THESE
DAYS, SOME MESSAGES WE HEAR IN MOSQUE AND
CHURCHES, HMMMM, IT FEELS AS IF THE DEVIL IS IS
OUR FRIEND, AND THE REAL ENEMY IS OUR FELLOW
HUMANS. REMOVE POLITICAL POWER, ECONOMIC
POWER FROM OUR EVERY DAY STRUGGLE, THEN YOU
WILL FIND OUT THAT WARS, CRISIS AND THE DESIRE
FOR DOMINATION ARE ALL GEARED TOWARDS
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SUPREMACY. WE HAVE
BEEN MADE VICTIMS OF OUR IGNORANCE, the price
of which is constant squabbles, hatred.
THEN WE HEAR OF JUKUNAWA, NOW, IT IS REPLACED
BY ARNE.
THEN WE HEAR OF HAUSAWA, NOW, IT IS BOKO
HARAM.
THEN WE HEAR OF BAZINZA OR PAJUKUN, NOW IT IS
EITHER JUKUN MUSLIMS OR JUKUN CHRISTIANS.
FACEBOOK IS A TOOL OF ENHANCING THAT THE
WORLD BECOMES A GLOBAL VILLAGE, BUT IN
TARABA, THE HATEFUL WORDS, THE BITING
CRITICISM AND THE CURSES ARE DEFEATING THE
AIM.
We keep struggling and fighting to be better than our
neighbours, to dominate them, to vanquish them, to
wipe them out. THE QUESTION TO ASK IS HAVE I
BEEN BETTER THAN MY FORMER SELF? HAVE I
VANQUISHED THAT WHICH MAKES ME LESS HUMAN?
THE REAL ENEMY IS NOT MOHAMMAD NEITHER IS IT
PETER, THE REAL ENEMY IS OUR IGNORANCE.
IN THE HEAT OF THE JUST CONCLUDED
ELECTIONEERING CAMPAIGNS, CHIEF DAVID SABO
KENTE TOLD ME SOMETHING, "bajo, my heart aches
whenever you use insultive words in your post, you
campaign for me yet you know just little about me. I
want to bring development to TARABA State, I want to
raise the standard of living of the people of TARABA
state. Bajo, not so much is known about us, the little
people know about us leaves much to be desired, I
want to use my connections to bring companies to
TARABA State, I want to change the fortunes of the
youth, I want to give them a noble identity. Bajo, I
want to take away guns from the youths and replace
it with pen, I want give them a life they would be
proud of. Bajo, if my heart desire is noble, rather
than inciting words, hateful words, and demeaning
utterances, make the people understand that peace is
the bridge that development can be accessed, a
bridge where poverty will be eliminated"

So touching
But the elites meet in either National assemly or the state house of asseblies they laugh and share money together. What a fool the common man is.
