Good deeds in Central Nigeria

There is much to discuss in Nigeria today, and I haven't really been doing any discussing. As they say, condition made the crayfish bend.

I am not doing any discussing today either, just posting links to a couple of stories about Nigerians working against the spate of violence afflicting our shared federal republic.

Nasarawa governor works to reassure state residents.

Bringing Jos communities together for sports.

Bad things make for giant, screaming media headlines. Good things tend to happen quietly, ignored by most, to a point where people walk around under the assumption no good things are happening ... and that we all allegedly hate each other.

We don't all hate each other, and we need to be reminded of that.
