Fair or Unfair Part2

in #steemit7 years ago

we talked about Raimi Oluwaseun and his idea of fair in the world we live in today in our last post right? little did you know about why he left northern nigeria with his family, the answer is simple WAR!. yes he left because of war which started as a result of religious differences of the people living there. Long before this time all ethnic and religious groups lived in harmony and ate together from the same bowl.

But for the intervention of the government everyone would have seized to exist as people were burnt to death, reports of northern hausa muslims killing their neighbor and friend of 10 years due to their religious differences, oh! what a shame. we even heard of people hiding their families in hand-dug well and when their new born baby was crying they had to snap its neck to protect the other members of its family, oh! how can a father bear the pain of killing his own child.

now the fair or unfair part of these is that both sides suffered causalities but people or so called religious leaders who incited this terror shield their families away from these evil they perpetrate by sending their own families abroad. what should the masses who can hardly feed themselves do, do you expect them to get passports they can't afford?. i call to you citizens of these great nation we can never benefit from a war of guns and machetes we can't afford the cost of a war, but i know we can achieve better.

war of intellectuals is what we can use in achieving our goals as a nation, we are already at an unfair advantage so let us let go of the past unfairness which all religions and ethnic groups and marginalization and lets embrace progress it doesn't matter the ethnic or religious background of who leads us what matters is that we keep whoever is our leader from making decisions that sides one particular religion or ethnic group in other to avoid a situation and lets focus on our development as an individual in each of our community and also as a nation.

thanks for reading i hope uve been able to pick one or two things. thanks y'all
