“In some ways, suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” ― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Nothing on earth is tougher than the human spirit. Not rocks. Not spider silk. Not graphene.
The resolve of a human spirit; a god on earth, cannot be broken. Not by poverty, nor oppression, nor sickness, nor death. It retaliates until the end. It stays fighting until it wins, even to the point of waring with itself for subversion.

Nigeria didn’t start bleeding today. This is older than the last generation and the generation before them. This fight is bigger than one generation, and the blood, now thicker than a sea of putrid redness, cries out for vengeance.
It all began when the trees cried out as its young, abled offsprings were chained by the neck and shipped on foreign ships to lands of no return. That’s when the blood began to flow. For 14 centuries, the land wept and the blood culminated with every battle for an extra inch of land. For every time domination reared its ugly head in the form of a white colonizer, the blood flowed.

The blood flowed as kinsmen learned how to butcher each other for a single drop of the wealth juice on the tip of their tongues, heedless to them that they were one people and should have stood by each other. When over two million Biafrans starved to death; 30,000 Nigerians killed from the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom; Odi, a community Bayelsa of perhaps 15,000 people was razed to the ground and not one building stood erect; when Boko Haram killed over 6600 by 2014; when villages in Kaduna, Jos and Borno were burnt to the ground without as much as a media whisper. The blood didn’t begin flowing today.

For years, the ruling lieutenants have deluded themselves into thinking of themselves a special breed of humans, fit to wilt their sword unapologetically at the necks of struggling Nigerians, siphoning the wealth that was made for an entire nation. And now, that blood has begun to speak.

The blood of hungry children who go to bed, starved in a country oiled with riches. The blood of every young dream shattered by a systematic social-caste, where an impenetrable, invisible line divides the son of a rich elite from that of a poor labourer.

People think the worst thing about poverty is a rumbling belly and bottom of a potholed bridge for a bed; no, the worst kind of poverty is the poverty that infiltrates the cells of the mind. The poverty that reduces a person to think only about what is obtainable at the moment. The reduction of a man - a godlike man - to an animal. That is what those blood-sucking parasites are. An impoverished mind doesn’t need to live in poverty to think solely of self, or lack the imagination to lead or create wealth. Even at the foot of pot of gold, they will still think of scarcity, self, chaos and mayhem. It is all they see. A thug will think like a thug.

Like Hitler, consumed by his radical antisemitism beliefs, he dedicated himself to the removal of the Jews, to purify Germans and make Germany a great nation again. The resolve of this single man caused the death of about 6 million Jews and instigated World War 2 - killing over 85 million people. Yes, one man!

That’s all it takes, one man. The unyielding will of one man can revolutionize the entire planet.

Like Maurice Ralph Hilleman, an American microbiologist who developed over 36 vaccines, 14 of which are routinely recommended in current vaccine schedules for measles, mumps, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, chickenpox, meningitis, pneumonia and Haemophilus influenza bacteria. He also played a role in the discovery of the cold-producing adenoviruses, the hepatitis viruses, and the cancer-causing virus SV40. This is what one man’s resolve to make a difference can do.

Every land has a soul and when the time comes, she cries out for vengeance. Blood never vanishes.
While it took 100 days and 800,000 massacred to create the Rwanda of today, nine years after Egyptians took to the streets in 2011; inspired by the Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire to protest the humiliation he suffered at the hands of a police officer, the much-coveted change they clamoured and died for is a tad elusive.

It takes more than some anger for change to happen. It takes a resolve of the human spirit to call forth a better future for everyone. Else, like Sierra Leone, a war that lasted for 11 years with over 70,000 casualties and 2.6 million displaced people could simply end with limbless humans and bitter stories.

But ours can be a new country born out of the blood.

As long as the sun rises when the sun should rise, the mighty will fall when their time comes. They will drink out of their impunity and think themselves gods, lame gods, drunk on the blood of all their wickedness but their time will come.

Like when the enfeebled Hitler, dressed in a soup-stained uniform, dissolved his brain with a 7.65mm Walther PP pistol while biting down on a cyanide capsule to ensure there would be no doubt of his death.

Or, when the terrifying Benito Mussolini met his end from the hands of a common Italian partisan from a small village in northern Italy. This same dictator who was responsible for over 400,000 killed during WWII and another 30,000 during the Italian invasion of Ethiopia under his directives, died like a peasant.

As long as the moons show up when she’s supposed to, the power-drunk will inevitably dig their graves with their arrogance.
It’s time for Nigeria. This blood will speak for every one of us.

WHEN THE PROTESTS MATURE TO FULL BLOWN ANARCHY NOTE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND LOVE:

1. ```The 14 to 45 year old males will be bearing arms directly whether or not they like it. About half of them will die within the first year of conflict. At least 30% of females in this age range will be raped and probably killed.```

2. ```The bulk of 0 to 13 year olds will grow up as orphans. 10% will be killed in the first year and another 50% will perish from neglect in subsequent years.```

3. ```The population above from 46 to 65 years will have their dreams finally destroyed and will die out rapidly from lack of a will to survive the hardship and stress.```

4. ```The population above 66 years will have no support to survive and will die slow lonely deaths, some through starvation and neglect.```

5. ```Crime rates will multiply ten fold given the unbridled access to arms and ammunition. There will be no safe havens given current trends.```

6. ```Life expectancy will drop to 21 years from the current 47 years.```

7. ```If the conflict lasts longer than one year the worlds largest refugee problem would have been created. Nigerians will flee into Niger,Togo, Ghana, Chad, Benin Republic and Cameroon. A one way journey for most as these countries are completely unprepared for the potential influx of humiliated Nigerians.```

8. ```Through CNN, Aljazeera, SABC, BBC and other media houses we will become the global laughing stock with no idea of what next to do.```

9. ```Present day uncompromising voices will run away to safety. Shamelessly so. The afore mentioned victims will be drawn from ordinary folk.```
