The independence day gift of bomb blast
Our condolences to the families who lost relations in the Abuja blasts
today.The loss is painful and no one can understand the pains and anger they
will be facing now.
More than anything the bombs remind us that we need to soberly rebuild Nigeria
and make it a place of peace and prosperity. It is only in the peace and
security of Nigeria that we can progress.
The bombs are a sad reminder that our security system is failing or has been
compromised by those we have entrusted it to.
Will the security that has not been able to hold down kidnappers help now that
the killers have let loose?
Yet this we believe that if we strengthen our communities we will be able to
fish out bad eggs, potential kidnappers and bombers.They will not have any
hiding place.
We need to also question whether these bombers who are who they say that they
are. Are they MEND or the Arewa politicians who say they will make the country
ungovernable if Jonathan does not give up his presidential ambition.
