A Bloody Country - What Is The Way Forward? by xtizzy: 10:06pm On Jun 28, 2018 |
Oh Nigeria! Words fail me to express how I feel, to say I'm sad is an understatement. I'm more of confused, perplexed, scared, angry and... and... I don't even know! I'm just heartbroken! Every single day, there are records of untimely violent deaths recorded in this country. It's either a trailer is crashing a 14 year old, or herdsmen are slaughtering people like cows, or a tanker exploding and claiming lives. So many deaths! So many casualties! And yet this country is in no official war. What's the way forward? How can this stop? Is it possible we're being punished for an unknown sin? I'm sad. My heart is heavy. ☹️☹️ Violent death : 1,351 killed in 10 weeks ON March 11, 2018 10:20 AM / IN Headlines, News , Special Report / Comments • 676 in Jan, 526 in Feb, 146 in March • North-East tops list with 591, South-East least with 30 By Clifford Ndujihe & Chukwumezie Udochukwu For many Nigerian families, 2018 has become a nigtmare on account of deaths resulting from auto accidents and violent crimes.

A Country Where Cows Are Important Than Human . A Country Where Only One Man Will Kill Many For Money Ritual. No Value For The Masses. The Poor Are Killed For The Fun Of Whatever. God Save Us From Shithole. :C |
