Nobody Really knows

Its being a while since I posted anything. I've not been too busy or working on any project; I've not just had that so called inspiration to write. I wasn't even worried that I wasn't writing and honestly, that scared me a bit. However,I'm writing this now but with worry in my heart. Its my first post this year and its not one of pleasantry. People tend to fear more in situations they have no control over and that's why Nigeria and nigerians are in a state of unrest at the moment. My goal this year was to work towards things I always dreamed of and, so far, I have treaded that path well over the last few months. But the frequent condolences and mourning caught my attention like every other person with a conscience. When I wrote "My Condolence" for Abra I thought I had seen it all but when I heard of the death of Mrs Ogunbanwo and Mr Odunlami, vice principals of my used to be secondary school, I almost had a break down. I asked myself that forbidden question: "WHY?" before I remembered HIS wishes can't be questioned and HE knows all. But as a human I can only grieve. I've learnt that only family members or people affected directly can truly understand the hurt that comes with death. Nigeria and its leadership problems is no longer news, as seem to be some unnecessary problems and unrest in the country at the moment. But today june 3rd, 2012 in Nigeria will be put down in the history books as a dark day in the country as residents of Lagos and Bauchi states and the entire Nigerian populace will sleep with heavy hearts for the loss of over 150 people, that's over 150 deprived families, starved of breadwinners, mothers, sisters, brothers... Whether caused by accident, sickness or old age, death is inevitable and cannot be predetermined. It takes what ever form it wants to. We can only pray that when it eventually happens it doesn't cause problems for the living and attain the highest position which is Heaven. Please mind what you say on social networks and bbm when unfortunate situations like this occur. If you don't know the right thing to say just grief in silence. May God console the Odunlami's , Ogunbanwo's and every other family that lost relatives or friends during this period, may HE comfort you.
