NIGERIA: the Good, the Bad and our Unpredictability

An Igbo policeman who faced armed robbers in Zenith bank in Owerri (Imo state)  got killed in the process. The Nigeria Police and the bank allegedly abandoned his family.

Now a YORUBA man, through Punch Newspaper (Owned by a Yoruba family) brought the story to the front burner and started GoFundMe for the late cop's family.

Within 2 days, over $16,000 had been raised and in the list of names of people who donated were Yorubas, Hausas, Igbos and every other tribe and tongue in Nigeria.

Ironically, this happened in the middle of so much hate and tribal bigotry ongoing in the country.  While we hated, cursed and called each other names, underneath that madness, our humanity rose above hate and bigotry and we came together as one indivisible family in helping the slain policeman's family regardless of their tribe.

Nigerians, what is our problem?

Doesnt this go to show that we hate for no apparent reason if we could show so much DETRIBALISED love in the middle of hate orgy that we got ourselves  immersed in within the same period? We do not hate each other in the right sense of the word but some demonic people are pulling the strings of hate and we have decided to be willing puppets! So sad.

Purge yourselves of negative energy.

Have a good day.
