We have more reasons to mourn today as a nation than we have to celebrate. That is a statement of fact. For the very fact that a nation exists today called Nigeria is enough to incite an emotional outburst not just from the victims of this contraption but from every well-meaning black man, the world over, from every man, whether white or black who still have the integrity of an upright being, from every man who has ever tasted or have the idea of Justice and fairness, of human dignity and equal rights. We should mourn for the simple fact that after nearly an hundred years, a group of black people over 70 million in population cannot extricate themselves from an economic vantage scheme of some European hoodlums that invaded Africa scores of years past; that many years after Lincoln’s famous speech “A HOUSE DIVIDED” in 1858 that an overwhelming population in African territory are clueless on how best to move forward and still live in modified slavery, but one more heinous than shackles of the Lugard and British bandits. Yes we should mourn that 53 years after some politicians purportedly drove the british out of Nigeria, that 99% percent of the youth population harbors the idea of escaping the country to Europe and America if they must realize their dreams of good life. We should mourn for our youths dying in their thousands in the deserts of North Africa fleeing the country, we should mourn for those who when faced with Italian coast-gourd and the option of deportation back to Nigeria loomed in their face, they chose to jump into the Ocean than to come back to Nigeria. The news this morning from Vangurd was about 3 kids, the oldest 14 trying to risk their lives in plane tires in route to Malaysia, we should be mourning for several of kids like that. We should mourn for those unnamed girls in Zaria, 2011 who had gun nozzles, swords and bottles inserted into their private parts by men in military uniform aggrieved over the result of presidential election. We should morn for those youth Corp members who were beheaded in faraway north in their service to their purported father land, the first in the series of mass and bloody massacre in the hands of their fellow countrymen because a non-Hausa-Speaking-Northerner won presidential election, even though it is the first and most likely the last from his region. We should mourn because for nearly 40 years rule by northerners, fellow Nigerians, Nigeria has been an unspeakably harsh country, corrupt and impoverished, without a single University of world standard, yet these people a death bent on returning to power in 2015. Please cry Nigeria, weep for your country, because celebrating Nigeria is celebrating slavery, celebrating the White man’s superiority over the black man, it is celebrating mass murder, insecurity in the hands of Hausa/Fulani-North…Please Let’s mourn!
