Nigeria, What Have You Done?
About 4000 years ago a lifeless beheaded body of a man was lying on the ground abandoned. The assailant thought that as no one caught him he has escaped and could hide and cover his crime. But unknown to him the same earth he was marching and hiding on, refused to take the body of his victim as his blood kept crying out. He said.
“What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground”. Gen. 4:10
Today, the lifeless beheaded body of a woman is lying on Nigerian soil. And the ground her blood has touched is crying out and asking, Nigeria, what have you done? And what did the woman do?
For answers to these two questions, the first question is left for Nigeria to provide the answer. For the second part, the woman’s only crime was that she was a Nigerian and a Christian.
According to information from a member of Mbaitoli Association in Kano, a young man came to Mrs. Bridget shop’s front to wash his legs for the usual Muslims prayers, and she appealed to him to go elsewhere to wash his legs as her customers are still in the shop. But the young man having ulterior motives, shouted “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar”, lying to his group that Mrs. Bridget has blasphemed against Prophet Mohammed.
Efforts by her husband, Pastor Mike who hails from Amaukwu, Orodo town in Mbaitoli LGA of Imo state and a Pastor of the Deeper Life Ministry Kano and other traders to explain to already stationed Muslim youths proved abortive.
They dragged her away from the husband, according to the relatives and beheaded her, and used her head as trophy to parade around the market and the town center. Not minding that these blood thirsty religious freaks celebrated with Mrs. Bridget’s decapitated head for over 2 hours; no security agent raised a finger.
The Igbo residents in Kano regretted that the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari have emboldened members of the Islamist terror groups, Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, and other Islamist fundamentalists across the country, as they are sure they will never be prosecuted not minding the magnitude of their offense.
Nigeria, what have you done? The blood of Bridget is crying out from the ground against you.
“Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee”. (John Dunne).
Nigeria, what have you done? This bell tolls for thee. President Buhari, this bell tolls for thee. Imo state Governor and all Nigerian governors, this bell tolls for thee. Inspector General of Police, all security agents and Minister of Justice, this bell tolls for thee.
All women, mothers, girls, women of Nigeria, Africa and women all over the world, this bell tolls for thee.
All Christians, Moslems, Blacks, Whites and mankind all over the world, this bell tolls for thee. It is not question of her religion, tribe or race but because she was a human being, you are involved.
That woman lying there was someone’s mother, wife, sister, daughter, niece or relative. And she could have been my wife, your sister, mother or relative. Mr. President, Governors, security agents, Imagine you wake up one morning and you find any of your own in this state, what would you do?Nigeria, what have you done? This blood is crying to you and this bell tolls for thee.
