2002, I was in Air force primary school Mando Kaduna, teachers were panicking there was fear in the air. School closed but they didn't let any students leave. Me & my sister sat there confused & scared. Not long after my dad came with a truck of soldiers to pick us. Outside we saw deqd bodies and burnt churches all over.
Me: Dad what is going on?
Dad: Muslims are killing Christians because of a news article written about Miss World in Lagos.
Me: But we are not in Lagos, what kind of news article will make you want to klll people, I am confused.
Well till date I am still confused as to how a journalist in This Day Newspaper Lagos will write an article about Miss World and you get angry and start kllling your neighbors miles away.
I saw things a little child was not supposed to see that day bro, one of the deqd bodies i saw was of our pregnant neighbor, from what I was told later they had forced her to drink fuel and set her ablaze.
The Anglican church near my house was burnt to nothingness as well, they did rebuild however and made the new roof a sort of cement slab so if it ever gets burnt again they won't need to do too much just repaint. Fast forward to 2006 and Dejavu. I was not in Saint Patrick's secondary school Kawo Kaduna, same thing, panic in a school, kllings outside,
Me: Dad what happened this time?
Dad: Someone in Denmark drew a cartoon of prophet Muhammad so the Muslims got a angry about it and are killing Christians.
Me: DENMARK? 😭
Denmark o, how is that our business???
The Anglican church near my house did get burnt down again, the roof slab thing ended up being a good idea as they did not have to spend too much money making a new roof.
Dad later told us how he passed through the angry mob to get to the barracks to carry soldiers to pick us, he was fluent in Hausa and had read the Quran, he was asked questions and answered them superbly pretending to be a Muslim, he was a brave man, love you forever and may your soul rest in peace.
