Nigeria reputably known for its multi-ethinic polity and an estimated population of about 180 million people is on the verge of another civil war, yet the International community is mute over the current fragile unity in the country! Whats the real essence of a United Nations threaty? A popular Nigerian Afro Beat Star Late Fela Kuti once said in his lyrics..." Who and Who unite inside United Nation?"
The irony of the current crises is that the Nigerian Government claims to be practising democracy, yet the very fundamental rights of citizens to life, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, self-determination, etc are being breached with impunity. The words referrandum and restructuring are being echoed in most marginalised regions of the country , yet No blue prints, No affirmative actions taken to address these front burners.
Honestly I hate to see innocent people die out of a needless fights, I dont want to be a victim of stray bullets neither do I wish any one in Nigeria nor 'Biafrians' to suffer such cruel fate.
If the current Nigeria dare goes to war against herself , the entire Africa and world at large will surely feel the nagative impacts ranging from the huge asylum seekers (refugees), diseases.. to the economic downturns associated with wars. Rwandan genocide is an ugly experience that Africans will not wish to witness twice.
Hear my cry oh United Nations! Nigeria is on the verge of implosion, lets break this ugly mute and start proactive actions if truly there is any organisation of International Community called United Nations!
