What happened today in Jos, Plateau state is senseless, barbaric and satanic. This is not about a nation with a failed leaders, it is about a nation filled with sensible Humans and loads of senseless Beings (quite unfortunate).
We cannot grow if we allow the ‘dumb’ ones amongst us to follow the path of anarchy, hatred and holiganism and all we do is to fold our hands, sit and cry to the Government. Ofcourse we can do much better than just wailing.
The problem of insecurity in this country can be best put as a situation, whereby as long as one is not the victim, then what he/she does is to watch while others are being maimed/killed unjustifiable. All what many do is to just exonorate his or herself by not interfering in an evil act being perpetrated right in his presence. The best he/she does is to record a video of what is happening to a fellow brethren. How pathetic! Is that how we will continue? Is that how we want our nation to progress? Sadly, we cannot progress if all we do is to fold our hands and watch.

The whole of the dimension is not about carrying out a protest against the government, neither is it about creating an hashtag on the social media space. Rather, it should be about us uniting as one, and fight the devil(s) in our midst. Enough, of us supporting evil over good simply because it is our kinsman/tribe. We have to call a spade a spade.
We must identify criminals living in our community (ofcourse, they are well known by locals). We must ensure that they are being purnished accordingly. We must set a good precedence for others to watch and learn.
This is my own protest. This is my own revolution. This is just the plain truth.
