I am a great fan of the late chinua achebe, his love for writing and his passion of transmitting expressions and experiences in words has made me have a premonition that writing would be my tool to tell who cared to listen, one or two things I had to say.
Its a great thing of pleasure that it coincides with a thing of history as I title this the 2nd civil war of Nigeria. The late achebe once wrote a book that predicted a possible coup in the then ruthless military government. In this little expression process of mine I make mention of a possible repetition of the 1967 civil war in Nigeria.
Terrorism in nigeria has taken a new dimension over the past couple of years. Insecurity is the closest friend of the estranged north eastern side of our country. Terrorist groups in the disguise of religious duties as not yet decided if dead boko haram leader threatens war as any form of democracy is considered a threat to the supremacy of Allah.
Its a thing of shame and anguish that a section of this country in the groups of persons are sponsoring and supporting the activities of this acclaimed islamic insurgents group. Aiding and abetting humanitarian crimes just in the name of playing politics. It would be inhuman of anyone to allow taking of human lives happen when it is not necessary.
The unity of this nation has been fabricated for a long time. When the lies were too much for the people, people were encouraged towards supporting the biafran secession. The war broke out and the biafran supporters were made to subtle after major massacres of bodies happened through the then Nigerian Army.
The ugly head of the tendencies that nigeria faces a point of very distant ideas and convictions which sectoral groups exhibits in the existence of life proves that the possibility of another revolution is at hand. Nigeria is getting insecure and anarchy is the law. Corruption promoting harmful practices for selfish gains while the masses are just there ignorant of the politics of the machinery interested in the economic gains of the society for private use.
I fear for the failing nature that Nigeria is heading towards, I just hope there is no 2nd civil war of Nigeria.
