Still on Jos crisis
Monday, 15 March 2010
I write to say it is unfortunate and uncalled for, to have such dastardly act happening again, in one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria. Jos was known to be peaceful, but now, violence has become the order of the day.
My heart bleeds whenever I remember tragic incidents in which people were brutally murdered like goats, houses destroyed and properties lost. Why are those people so heartless?
For how long will innocent souls be crushed unexpectedly? How long will it take the government of this nation to bring those perpetrators to book? How long will it take the said government to take its stand on Jos crisis? For how long will Nigerians continue to mourn? When will the security agencies start to protect the lives and properties of the citizens?
These questions are to be answered by those concerned, but I really feel it is up to the government to find the root cause of this crisis and find a lasting solution to it. God will console the families of victims.
As a nation, we should remember the song of LUCKY DUBE, "Different colour, one people."
