No matter how you live, always leave room for self reassessment.
It hurts me that I once lived this path, but forsook it to chase the futilities of life.
At some point, Nigerians will raise up to fight the system with everything they have because the country can not continue like this.
How can citizens buy flight tickets, a 5:30 PM flight, @flyairpeace will wait till the minute the flight was supposed to be taken off and announce casually to waiting passengers that the flight has been shifted to 8: PM? By 8:PM another shift and so on till around midnight and you tell the passengers that the flight has been canceled? And in all these, not even a sachet of pure water for the passengers. There was no arrangement to get the people accommodations, nothing. Imagine passengers have to sleep on the seats at the departure hall. Where is that done?
The agencies responsible for protecting the citizens are sleeping and acting like it is none of the business. The Minister of Aviation, @fkeyamo since he came into office have acted like the spokesman of private airlines association. The next thing is to sing on your mandate we stand, then attack the opposition.
If my train in Germany is delayed for three house while I am supposed to take the train, I and every other passengers will be compensated. If it is canceled, accommodation will be provided. Transportation to the accommodation and back to the train station, the food and water will be on the railway company, DBahn. I will still be compensated. And all these will be done with alot of 'sorry sir', 'sorry ma'. If it is a flight it is even worse. But in Nigeria we are treated like slaves by airlines that we paid our hard earned money in our own country and the government agencies that are supposed to regulate them don't even care.
Nigerians must wake up and demand this country work by force. Citizens of the developed countries we look up to didn't sit down and watched some gang of criminals do whatever they like with them forever. They demanded for it, sometimes even violently. We as Nig must insist the right thing is done at all times. When things like these happen, citizens that can afford it must go to court.
We certainly can't continue like this
@FootballNesta@Mchrismfs you're correct bro !
things like this aren't done out of favoritism, even a little kid who starts watching barcelona today would see raph as his captain, it's just like in marvel 's, chris evans was cap not cause of his status as a soldier but his leadership intuitions.
@BlackpillCuler@CaptnGuardiola bro, no keeper would even make an attempt to catch that ball, it looked like it was going over the roof, things like this happen but we're quick to point fingers because most fans don't like him (stegen).
This beast killed my primary school friends, six of my neighbours and he almost killed me too.
Christmas Day, 2011.
I was at St. Theresa's Catholic Church fetching water from their borehole because December is usually dry season in the North. Harmattan, dry skin and dry wells.
Our neighbours who were Catholics were already inside the church, singing and dancing. I think Father Achi was the one in charge of the parish back then and was presiding over the service.
I was with my wheelbarrow that i used in carrying water i fetched at the back of the priest's quarters when my friends saw me. They were outside buying sweets from the Hausa vendors.
We linked up for a bit. We talked. We laughed. After some time, they told me they were going inside because it was time for them to give their offerings.
I picked up my wheelbarrow and started leaving while they ran back to the church and that was when i heard the blast.
My ears immediately went deaf.
The force of the explosion pushed me to the ground. My gallons fell over and water started leaking everywhere.
I was in a trance.
I could see the smoke.
I could see people running towards the church and some out of it.
But I couldn't hear anything.
It was completely silent.
And that was when I saw them.
My friends.
Lying on the floor close to the church entrance.
The same boys I had just been laughing with a few seconds earlier.
Kalu.
John.
Ben.
Samson.
Tony.
That was when i stood up and ran home crying.
I was a child. I didn't understand terrorism. I didn't understand religious extremism. I didn't understand why somebody would want to blow up a church on Christmas Day.
That day changed something in me forever. This isn't something I read about in the news.
I was there.
And somehow, I survived.
People talk about terrorism in Nigeria using numbers.
How many people died.
How many were injured.
How many churches were attacked.
But behind every number are people with actual names.
People who had friends.
People who had families.
People who were supposed to go home that Christmas afternoon.
Are the bulls back?
