A BLEEDING PEN FOR THE DEPARTED SOULS. The act which is only destructive and inflicts suffering both on oneself and others is terrorism. In such an act, human values are lost in the process of achieving such a goal. Boko Haram, Fulani herdmen and even the Niger Delta militant are all act of terrorism. We cant keep killing ourselves to achieve a goal by taking innocent people lives that are struggling to survive in this god-forsaken space called Nigeria. Some of the factors that lead to terrorism are: * Frustration and desperation to achieve a goal * Confused emotion * Shortsightedness and Impulsive action * Politics and Power * Religion * Belief in a non-verifiable concept of heaven and merit; a childish concept of God favoring some and angry at others, thereby undermining the omniscience and omnipotence of the Divine. Terrorism induces fear psychosis in all, increases poverty, suffering and loss of life with no apparent gains. Am afraid my believed country will continue to retrogress due to this new trend of terrorism coz no reasonable investor will want to invest in an unsafe country. Instead of solutions the terrorist looks for destruction as an answer. If I only criticize without giving a solution, their wont be a way forward and i should know that this criticism comes from the same seed as terrorism coz they have been criticizing over and over before taking action, therefore a solution is eminent! Although there are certain qualities you can appreciate in a terrorist such as: * Fearlessness * Commitment to a goal * Sacrifice You will have to learn from them things that you should never do: Valuing some ideas and concepts more than life. Having a narrow perspective of life and dishonoring its diversity. THE REMEDY FOR TERRORISM ARE: * Inculcate a broader perspective of life, value life more than race, religion and nationality. * Educate people in human values, friendliness, compassion, cooperation and upliftment. * Teach methods to release stress and tension. * Cultivate confidence in achieving noble aims by peaceful and nonviolent means. I would have appreciate it our so called religious houses can inculcate this into her followers. The Igbos are angry, coz their brothers were affected by yesterday blast, the Yorubas are ready to shed blood if Boko Haram brings their activities to the west. End result is WAR! I will be glad if some awareness campaigned can be carried out on the negative effect of terrorism. Sudan, Liberia, Mali, CAR, Togo, etc are still healing from the wound of terrorism that gave rise to war. Nigeria is a time bomb waiting to explode. Pls dont temper with the device, we can defuse it and the only way is PUBLIC AWARENESS FROM RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL FUNDAMENTALLY. APPRECIATE LIFE AND LIFE WILL APPRECIATE YOU COZ NO ONE IS WORTH DYING FOR. GOOD MORNING (MAY THE DEPARTED SOULS RIP)
