BEFORE THE TEAR WIDENS PART I.

"Conscience is an open wound only TRUTH can heal it" Utman Dan Fodio.  Only partisans will deny the fact that our national fabric suffers multiple ear, from ethnic jingoists to religionist, from the looting and rapacious locusts we call politicians to thieving civil servants, and from cheer leaders and praise singers to separatists and secessionists, the tear deepens.

Before the tear widens and before we invoke armageddon on this nation, we must tell ourselves the TRUTH, for only the TRUTH according to the scriptures can set us free.

What emboldedons the call for Biafra? why has the call for Oduduwa Republic reemerged? why are some Arewa leaders under prof Ango Abdulahi saying that the North does not mind the break up of Nigeria? Why are some South South separatists sworn enemies of this superstructure? why according to Lai Mohammed, do we have a new terrorists movement springing up around Kogi corridor in the name of the Muslim Brotherhood? why do we have marauding herdsmen wrecking havoc across the land? And why does the Haramist not tired out in dishing out human barbecues?

We can only attempt the endless questions supra, when we elevate our discuss beyond APC, PDP, APGA etal. Yes, partisanship blinds our view.  We can only cure the malaise when we diminish the PMB and GEJ hate and diatribe. And we can only rescue this nation from the precipice when we turn oppen the tap of TRUTH, of EQUITY, of JUSTICE, and of LOVE.

Please dont tell s it is the PDP, for more than 50% of the present APC was the PDP. Please do not tell us it is GEJ because the corruption we lampooned under GEJ festers. We are all quilry, some of looting and corruption, some of complicity and nepotism, and some of silence and inertia.
