WE'RE UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE SYSTEM

At what point is the Nigerian  leadership going to put a stop to the so-called religious killings. This was the case in Jos not too long ago, and now Kaduna. Should the law continue to allow people to kill in the name of religion?

At this point, Nigerians must cast their lot in agreeing with Mathew Kukah, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto that, ‘unless Nigeria as a country is prepared to make laws and ensure that all citizens live by same, what we are witnessing is a symptom, not a disease. The creeping inequalities and inability of the system to deliver has made us uncomfortable.

By letting such mayhem, as the ones being perpetrated in Southern Kaduna, be allowed to go unchecked, war may eventually break out. 

This administration is beginning to appear wholly indifferent in issues threatening human life. The wounds inflicted by the Boko Haram Sect and Herdsmen are still too fresh in many households. 

In a compound where the head takes too long to quell the daring tantrums of children, loud cries are bond to issue from the playground. All counter acts always end in bitter hurt. Equally, the drums of revenge are now so loud; ears may go deaf in an instant.

Nigeria must make her case for Human Rights, and go further to separate the acts of criminals from religion, and do so very quickly.
