You have failed us!





Living in Nigeria for the average citizens is now a factor of when and how long either Terrorist and Bandits let you live. Killing has become an early morning roster call we see and hear outside our windows. Those we've trusted with our lives and properties has failed us. Killing of all sort are being carried out while those who we trust with our ballots pick their teeth in soft loafers watching as we cry for help from the comfort of their homes guided by those who are supposed to guide us all.


This is not the first time neither will it be the last time this will happen because they simply don't care what happens as long is not their party member or leader who has been killed or their family members. This is no longer a matter of "thank God I'm not the one dead" but a matter of "when it be your turn."

If we must survive we must speak up irrespective of your religion, region and color as long as you live within the four walls of the country; Speak up!

The recent killing of farmers has once again awaken the cry of the people. Not just the North but as usual the south, east and west feel it as well. It only a fool that will rejoice over the killings happening in any part of the country because in one way, we are all affected, economically, psychologically and emotionally whether we like it or not.

As usual many are speaking, the government is silent. 

"How can there be so much insecurity in the land and the only thing you care about is censorship of social media?" - Oluyomi Ojo

"Dear Nigerians 

It is we, the people being killed! It is not those who we gave mandate to protect us. We, the people have to do away with the Northern and Southern dichotomy and make demands that our lives be secured. #EndNaijaKillings" - Aisha Yesufu.

"Who gains from categorising deaths into North & South? Certainly not the victims. Let's stop all of that. Nigerians are being killed and Buhari must stop the killings. @MBuhari #EndNaijaKillings" -Aisha Yesufu


"Boko Haram Terrorists have slaughtered at least 43 farm workers and wounded six in rice fields in Nigeria. Buhari is the one who released thousands of them from prison because, according to him: “They repented.” Buhari must be jailed for treason." - Imam of Peace

"Give me a reason why we should be ‘grateful’ for a democracy where lives are being lost for speaking up. #ZabarmariMassacre" - Rinu

"All those Northerners that are still backing @MBuhari because he's from the north even after this #ZabarmariMassacre are heartless and wicked people. Buhari means a total failure. 43 farmers were killed yesterday. I blame all our northern leaders for this insecurity😭💔" - Princess Zarah

"I blame arewa for tolerating this level of insecurity. By the time each and every household, in each and every state is engulfed in it, perhaps then we will wake up and defend ourselves against this barbaric attacks & kidnappings. Clearly, no end in sight. #ZabarmariMassacre" - Peacock

These are but few of how activists and concerned citizens are disappointed with the level of Insecurities and how the government has done a lip service to solve the issue at hand rather, they are busy on how to arrest peaceful protesters and to shoot peaceful protesters if they ever protest on the street.

BIAFRA

Image
Over the last three decades, BIAFRA has been all over the air. This whole struggle started 1967 by Late. Emeka Ojukwu. The secession of the Biafran region was the primary cause of the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War. The state was formally recognised by Gabon, Haiti , Ivory Coast , Tanzania and Zambia. Other nations which did not give official recognition, but provided support and assistance to Biafra included Israel, France, Spain , Portugal, Norway , Rhodesia , South Africa and the Vatican City. Biafra also received aid from non-state actors, including Joint Church Aid , Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, Caritas International , MarkPress and U.S. Catholic Relief Services.
