A Call to Awaken the Giant in Us

By Joe Bankole

A beautiful day to all!

I have been doing some soul-searching over the past one month or so over the calamity that has befallen our great country, Nigeria, in the past few years. The unwarranted destruction by misguided politicians, their minions in the religious and political spheres through unbridled looting of our common resources, and needless bloodletting especially of the innocent are areas of great trauma and concern.

In the milieu of these thoughts and the hopelessness that have come to characterise our collective response, I have been inspired to challenge the conscience of fellow Nigerians to wake up and do something to reverse this ugly trend.

We must do everything in our power to fight back against all those with dead conscience who have taken over our land with the aim of destroying it. We must use the same tactic to fight these vermin with the ferocity of the same weapons they have unleashed on a captured people.

This we must all resolve to do.
