I have been unsure about many things lately…
About what to write, about how to add value, about
where the world is heading.
Too many bad things are happening, too much hatred and
anger is tearing our world apart.
My beloved country has been thrust in the spotlight
for horrible things lately,it is frightening.
There are wars all over the world and for
those who are students of the bible, I am unsure if these are those times when
there would be wars and rumours of wars that the bible talked about...
I am unsure of even some of the people around me,
unsure of what to expect, unsure
that I can be the change I want to see,
unsure that the little things I do to make a
difference matter,
unsure about my future, my career, my plans...
I am unsure that in the near future we will have a
world where children would play freely with other children,
unsure that a child could walk into a neighbours' house
with no fear of harm,
unsure that the future generation will understand the
value of hard work,
unsure that a child will be taught not to take
advantage of people, or that a child will know to use things and not people,
unsure that a child will ever know a world of no
discrimination...
I am unsure why I am even writing this post but I will
publish it all the same…
I have unfinished stories but I am unsure if it
alright to work on them or if it is alright to carry on with life like nothing
affects me because everything that happens, does.
In this short life of mine, I have had some bad experiences, I have been robbed at
gun point and I was a witness of a bomb blast.
I am unsure if some people may be bothered by some of
these events,
unsure if the #BringBackOurGirls campaign matters to some
as it has been called a hoax,
unsure if the #NyanyaBomblasts or the #JosTwinBombings
have moved certain people
unsure that any value is placed on human lives,
unsure if the #StateofEmergency and the
#MultipleBombings that happen in the North Eastern region of #Nigeria, or the
#EthnicViolence in the #MiddleBelt, or the #Pollution in the #NigerDelta has
pushed the relevant authorities to take bold and decisive steps to curb it all.
I am unsure but glad that despite all these
calamities, Nigeria has managed to remain one country.
Unsure and wondering, one step at a time, living
everyday like it is golden.
