So, we've had the bomb blasts in Jos, the bomb blasts in Bayelsa, and continued attacks by extremists in Borno.
Beyond these incidents, the overall tenor of violence has definitely gone up a notch ahead of the 2011 Elections (which will probably be rigged).
What can I say?
What can I do?
I was going to launch into a long, exhaustive essay .... but the strength to do so fails me at the moment. It is just so depressing.
Maybe sometime in the New Year.
For now, I will simply repeat the mantra of this blog .... to create a New Federal Republic, we must substantively, aggressively and systemically reform, restructure and transform Nigeria.
It is not a choice or an option but a strategic life-and-death necessity!
We just can't continue to live like this.
God Bless Nigeria. May the souls of the those we lost this year Rest In Peace.
EDIT: Minutes after I initially posted this, I stumbled upon this report of a bomb blast at the Army barracks in Abuja. The explosion took place today, quite possibly while I was typing the post. I start to think maybe I should get involved in politics myself. Writing blog posts doesn't really change anything in the real world. It is so frustrating.
