I awake with the prayers: Our Father in heaven and our mother too in heaven thank you for the night and as we look forward to a wonderful day created by you, I do so with hope, anticipation of good things to come and with optimism of a proud country; forgive us our sins as we hope to forgive those who will step on our toes later in the course of the day; help me with the courage to ask for forgiveness of those I will hurt with my words and actions today...Amen. Heal our broken hearts and replace them with the sympathy of a true human being according to your creation. I reflected on the violence around us in this country and the sarcastic nature with which we all look at the situation and one can only agree with Tolu who opined about the free flow of blood, and the scale of Nigerias tragedies. He said, For a country that is not at war, death is cheap and plentiful. So cheap and so sweeping in its audacity that Nigerians readily make jokes about it. That might help explain the trademark blunted edge of Nigerian outrage. If it happens often enough, the mind is soon inured, and eagerly accepting of the sense of resignation that might offer the best protection against the emotional impact of the next cycle of negative breaking news...
