I came across this post online and felt the urge to share. Please continue reading. . . Mubi, the biggest commercial town in Adamawa state, was thrown into chaos the day Boko Haram descended on them and the people found themselves running for their lives. The terrorists shot sporadically, killing a lot of people while those who could escape jumped into any available car to run to safety. Christians, Muslims, Igbos, Yorubas, Tivs, Hausas and any tribe or religion, jumped onto any vehicle that was headed outside the town. Soldiers scampered onto trucks with civilians, begging to be saved, hundreds of people who could not get a vehicle ran into the hills. In their frantic effort to stay alive, no one paid attention to anybody's religion or ethnicity before asking them for help or helping them to stay alive. It was a community of people, united by their desire to escape the common enemy that hunted them all without discrimination. Ethnicity and religion vanished, all they were left with was their humanity. Those climbing the hills stayed together, helping one another stay on their feet as they all tried to survive. The most interesting part of the narrative is that the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Badeh is from the same town of Mubi. It has been reported that few hours before the attack, helicopters flew in and evacuated his family members from the town. The chief of Defence staff by the way, is the most senior military officer in Nigeria and he controls the army, navy and air force. Before that sad day, someone from Mubi would have boasted that the Chief of Defence Staff is from their home town. But on the day that it mattered the most, he evacuated only his family members and abandoned everyone else to their fate. It means he had information of the Impending attack and as the most senior military commander, he did not fly into the town to lead his men to battle to defend his community. He quietly saved only his family and left even the soldiers without an inspiring commander to motivate them to engage the terrorists and defend his community. One lesson all Nigerians must learn from this story is that as a people, all we have is our neighbours. When you need some help at home, you knock on the door of your neighbour. The president, governor, senator or minister is not there to help you. Why then should you continue to fight your neighbour because of a man or woman who cares only about his own family? Our elites may deceive us about sharing the same religion or ethnicity with us, but time and again, they have proven that they do not care. We have been fools, killing one another on the basis of religion and ethnicity while they stay united across all the divides and plunder our wealth. The time has come for us to rise, educate one another and unite to fight our biggest common enemy. The politicians are our enemies and not the poor struggling men and women in our neighbourhoods. What now will the people of Mubi boast about as the gain of having their son as the chief of Defence Staff? If you go to Otueke where Jonathan comes from, there are many people who live in excruciating poverty! There is still a lot of poverty and suffering in the home towns of all our governors, ministers, parliamentarian s and former presidents, while they and their families live in scandalous affluence. The minister of petroleum spent over 10 billion Naira on a private jet. That money can end the poverty of several communities in her state. Stella Oduah bought two cars with 120 million Naira while there are people in her home town who can't afford 500 Naira to feed their family in a day. The time to throw away the sentiments is now! Support only a man or woman who has a just heart and will serve everyone and every community regardless of if they come from there or not. The moment anyone begins to talk to you about religion or ethnicity, reject him summarily! We need leaders who will unite us because our shared humanity is greater than any differences between us. And if someone does something wrong or fails in governance, do not support them simply because they're your own. Follow: www.facebook.com/Starzarena |

chilledbarbie:Hello. Welcome to NL. You should have simply ignored that dude, some people just lurk around looking for who to pour their anger and frustations on (transferred aggresion) and also this is the politics section, most people come here for politics issues strictly. You'll meet several kinds of people on NL like its applicable in real life situations, what matters is how you handle 'em cos you shouldn't expect everyone to treat you nicely and HeY, dropped that "Do you know who my dad is". It's kind of funny, no one is interested in knowing who your dad is especially as you'll be resuming varsity, your dad won't always be around, you just gotta learn to flow with peeps. Sorry for the long post, I never intended to make it long. Anywhere, welcome once again. ![]() |

I know that ignorance is not an excuse but I plead that you should please tamper justice with mercy. I promise that there won't be a repitition of such act. Thank you.

MizMyColi:Thank you Ma'am. What I did was comment on a post then at the end I appealed to people to vote my contestant. Sincerely speaking, I didn't know that it was against the rules and I promise that it won't happen again. |
Yesterday, I was going through a copy of The Nation newspaper of friday 31st October, 2014. And what I saw on the the 12th page got me thinking so I decided to bring the issue on here. It was about a 14-year-old who risks facing the death penalty if after the court proceeding, she is found guilty of murdering her 35 year old husband in accordance with sharia law. Now, I can only imagine the trauma the girl is going through for what I believe isn't her fault and after being raped(because any sexual act under such union is tantamount to rape) by the so called husband. The issue of child bride marriages is more prevalent in the northern part of the country where a 13-year-old girl who is still undergoing transition to adulthood(puberty) could be bethroned to a 50-year-old man as long as the parent have given consent to the marriage negliging the fact that the girl is very young and opposed to the "unholy matrimony". What even makes it more appalling is the fact that the Nigerian costitution backs this so called marriage and parents who are supposed to be the guardians of these children approve of these marriages and a supposed matured man who should be thinking with his brain founds pleasure in marrying someone who should be his daughter's age. Even more disgusting is the fact that a senator of the federal republic even indulged in such a practise. I have come to notice that this practise is mostly common in poor families who see the girl child as a sort of commodity that can be sold out at anytime, funny enough you won't see the elite giving out their daughter at such a tender age. This further goes to prove the saying that "poverty is a disease". I think poverty is far worse than a disease, it tends to change one's view of things and reduces their level of thinking. Apart from the fact that this act is inhumane, the health risks this poses to these girls cannot be overemphasized. Take Vesico Vagina Fistula(VVF) for example. Honestly speaking this is plain wickedness. I think human right organizations should stand up against this modernised form of slavery. |
