If I can reach out to Boko Haram

It’s a thing of delight when the citizenry wake up to the fact that the government is performing below par. I am happy we are getting more conscious of the activities of our government and people nowadays are ready to vote out un-performing public office holders.

Aggrieved individuals or groups take to different methods to show their dissatisfaction at government’s neglect. The approach which Boko Haram as well as MEND has been using calls for concern. Whichever way they see the injustice being meted at them, they shouldn’t forget that the ordinary man on the street isn’t their enemy. The man next door isn’t the cause of their plights. The Imam or Pastor across isn’t the one guilty of the oppression.

We all have a common enemy in the political elites and the capitalist that shape and decide the harsh economic policies. The ordinary Igbo street trader has nothing to do with irregularities in electioneering process. The Yoruba Vulcanizer has nothing to do with the increment in fuel pump price.

It’s time we recognize our enemy and stop the killing of one another. It’s time we move together to wrestle power from the insensitive corrupt leaders. This is the time to stop the killing of innocent people and direct our anger towards our true enemy.
