Those who are not alright i.e. the hoodlums will react until those who are react... the government is just a reflection of who we are as a people, afterall, government officials are themselves NigeriansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003061036846925103.post-21932703514364083852007-10-30T20:40:00.000+00:002007-10-30T20:40:00.000+00:00gosh, i read this last week and thought i left a c...gosh, i read this last week and thought i left a comment. grrrr.

One of the greatest problems is that we all think of ourselves - not an inherent problem in itself, but a problem because that is where the thinking ends. We often don't expand to think about others in the way that we think about ourselves..."Every man for himself" a well known adage that many Nigerians swear by.<BR/><BR/>As I read through Funke's thoughts, all I could think of was what people?? It doesn't hit home till we experience these bounts of fear, apprenhension, terror, trauma, insecurity, loss, and death that have been mentioned.<BR/><BR/>Which is why I recommend everyone read through Funke's thoughts once again but beginning with:<BR/><BR/><BR/><B>The recent and recurring spate of armed robberies in <I>my</I> home poses a serious threat to the security of <I>my</I> life and property and makes <I>my</I> existence in this state a mockery...</B> (i think you get the drift)<BR/><BR/>How real does this need to become for us to stand up to action?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
