How I lost my religion (as a Nigerian)

Image
A Nigerian and religion are like a Siamese twin, one inseparable from the other. In a country of over 200+ million citizens, more than 95% identify as members of one religious group or the other. Most religion inclusive of the ones practiced by Nigerians preach the tenets of brotherly love, truth, justice, godliness, and general humanity to one another. Knowing all this makes me and some others like me to wonder, why Nigeria is in such a sorry state as it is today and getting worse, it's citizens fleeing en masse to other nations far and near, death, destruction, corruption, ritual killings, jungle justice, mob killings, violent robberies, nepotism and other vices too numerous to mention being the order of the day. And the irony is that all this vices are perpetuated by the same people who practice one or the other religions found in Nigeria. Religion, be it Christianity, Islam or traditional religion, all found in Nigeria, can be argued for positively, they give people ...

Blood Law and the Nigerian Police

Image
Many a Nigerian have never come across nor heard about the concept of 'blood law', or what it means. Blood law also known as blood revenge refers to the custom in many societies where the responsibility for the death or murder of a person falls on his/her close relatives and must be carried out to restore and create balance.

On a ranking of the most hated Nigerian public institutions, the Nigerian police definitely will come tops, showing the hatred and aver...

A tale of suicide and a failed country

Image
Suicide and death have become the solace of many a Nigerian, citizens battered, depressed and frustrated have now reached a point where death and rest from the failures of the country and it's system have become their only respite. Yet the government and leaders in their characteristic moronic ways are neither ready to respond or do anything about the abounding deaths of it's citizens. Being a youth in Nigeria and not having your top plans being to flee the country, then you're a failed youth because no matter whatever you achieve the system soonest catches up with you and most times in a deathly and grave way. Most Nigerians and their leaders are hypocritical, foolish and backward thinking, only good in self serving religiousness and tribalism. I have never had any hope in Nigeria, knowing the calibre of it's citizens and leaders.  I'm yet to travel outside the country but from those that have, when one travels outside Nigeria, your disgust for th...
