JOS Mayhem

Today I am not happy at all. I am so sad. You know I have been so busy running around trying to be efficient at work and sometimes you are stuck in your own world and forgetting what is going on around you.I logged on to Nigeriaworld and I saw a picture of the women who were protesting what happened to their child/children in the Jos killings.

Can anyone imagine the pain of this type of thing happening to them? God forbid we experience such but I could not help feeling for them. Some appeared semi nude to protest because of how they felt. I cannot imagine how a woman who lost seven childresn would feel. The beautiful gift God gave them? To be killed in such a gruesome manner. I know that I will have appeared there naked from head to toe.You basically lose your mind and only God can restore such a soul. I am hoping that the Government in Nigeria would do something to address the issues going on in Jos. The key thing is for people to live in peace with each other despite our differences, tribalism/different religions. Marrying my husband was war, I am fom the east and my husband is from the south and there was so much drama, I was so depressed.However, I stuck to my ground and ended up marrying him. The lesson we can take from this, my fellow Nigerians is that we cannot give up trying to make our country better, hopefully our generation will improve things and make Nigeria to be united. Wherever we are, let us show kindness and love to those who are different from us.
