Boko Haram Is Destroying Nigeria

Boko Haram Is Destroying Nigeria
21.03.2013 LISTEN

Sometimes I wonder, but these days, I have been wondering per second. Can Nigeria be happy with herself again? If Nigeria is not happy with herself, then can anybody or country be happy with her? Why is this cycle of insecurity?

Yet, the government keeps on selling to us through jingles and newspapers that there is no country in the world that is free from crisis. Claptrap! Does the government know that Boko Haram is destroying Nigeria like the vagina of a female destroyed by bunch of rapists?

Does our country now belong to the Organisation of Insecure Countries (OIC)? These perpetual killings of Nigerians in the north by Boko Haram, but most especially, the slow-destruction of Ndigbo in the country economical and otherwise, is largely irrelevant to the great struggle of our forebears.

It can be construed that this Boko Haram's insensate struggle is a struggle against humanity. If not, how could a group that said it was against western education turned-out to be haters of humanity. Is their hate for western education our fault? Why are they falling our people apart?

Did we destroy their illusions? Conversely, Boko Haram should not see its potency in killing as capable of subduing our strength. Boko Haram can only rage, but cannot bridle the rage of love in us. Boko Haram has only succeeded in losing its members liberty, and makes them meet calamity the general way they have been introducing it to others.

Boko Haram and its members and affiliates should know that they are travelling fast to destruction. They think that their actions are fatal to our country, but I am too sure that they are cultivating their self-destruct.
