COAT OF ARMS…psyche

The Nigerian coat of arms…. A beautiful work of art; with two horses, one eagle, a shield and a garden.
It has some words inscribed on the banner beneath
PEACE
PROGRESS
UNITY
FAITH
I have in one of my blogs written n faith, so this time I would love to tackle peace.
Peace: An word that has been almost totally deleted from the Nigerian dictionary.
Our country used to be a very peaceful place, until the 2011 elections and things began to go out of hand. The Northerners saying it was their time to rule, the southerners not agreeing.
A prominent Nigerian saying let the Muslims vote for Muslims and Christians vote for themselves.
Finally, the insurgence of boko haram
Is that what Nigeria needs right now, a bunch of vigilante suicide bombers who believe in seventy two virgins waiting for them in heaven. They said they were fighting a jihad, that the president should become a Muslim.
Should the country’s development be based on some idiots’ libido or is inability to be sexual satisfied on earth that he seeks women to satisfy him in heaven.
Or his inability to get some on earth and he decided to try his luck in heaven.
Is this what Nigeria needs right now?
Gone were the days when bombing used to e a big deal in Nigeria. Now Nigerians have totally adapted to bombing.
We need to flush out the disease called boko haram, we need to take this country back to the drawing board and establish a new and ‘corrupt-less’ blue print for this country.
It all begins with us.
God bless Nigeria.

    May i suggest you do a post on nigeria slitting up into the major ethnic groups. you could get various opinions.
    i have to confess i think the igbos are cheated although dat does not mean i think we should split up. But i believe they are somehow justified in wanting to secede.
    There av bn indications recently that the issue will rise up again.i just pray there is no bloodshed dis tim around
