Xenophobia Or Massacre

What a turbulent times telling upon the Africans, Nigerians and Gambians in particular, living in South Africa. What a harsh trouble of unresting hearths have our people going through, just to have tasty meals in the land of the deads, the land of the beasts; the land of an over-showering eagles that restlessly pry for bloods and tearing souls. I wonder why our leaders have become mute and dumbed over the issue that demands a very powerful and angelic attention to rescues our brothers and our sisters running in panting breath for their lives as though the resurrection moment has just began.

I was just watching a video clips of this xenophobians sent by the faction of this horrendous and unrelenting acts of aggression upon the Nigerian people, I have left to forget that the avalanche of tears was running down my cheeks for the kind of torture and inhumane treatment gauged upon those people, how they were bitten to death and some burnt to ashes, the little children were tied up and gathered on the street sprayed petrol on them and then set a fire on them; the little boy was crying, yelling and shouting for the soul which was about to escape his body. These people were innocents, done nothing against the law but because they think the other countries are taking much from their country as a results running down their economy.

Nigerians!!! These are our people; our brothers... I mean your brothers facing these sorts of hardships and suffering; a mournful conclamation yelled so highly to the heaven while non is answering, the government is watching the scene; very dramatic isn't it? Perchance, because their children are in London and United State of America, warshhhh! It's non of my business, they must be saying that isn't it?

If not, these situations isn't the first time not the second probably, not the third that our people were experiencing these kinds of predicament, what seems like a painful drives to the heaven.

History has show us how the South Africa government benefited greatly from Nigeria, though they are paying us back in pounds of anguishes, agonies and severest inflicted upon our people for nothing sake. Didn't we have south Africans in our country, benefited even more than the original citizenries. Why shouldn't we retaliate against them but nooooo! We are peaceful people, the negligently arrogants people, the people who only rescue the paths to wealth management and not the rescue of lives of our brothers, our fathers, mothers and uncles taken out as though they were in battle field.

Government should not rest on these painful messages they are sending, appropriate or to do justice to their assaults, sends irredeemable destruction to the unleashed beasts that have no regards for humanity. Otherwise, their bloods drained would tell on you the leaders shouldered by power given to them by those suffering lives and beseeching a peaceful deaths instead.

We must not rest but tell to the world our minds...more strives to see our country is back again in goodly goodness.
