I graduated from the University of Jos. I remember a very tragic experience during my stay in Jos.
I was running away from some assailants during a crisis; running to soldiers who were supposed to protect me; they drove me away, saying that they have orders not to interfere.
That period, there were so many allegations against the military for being biased or corrupt. The GOC ordered his men to stand down. It was Crazy. Thank God for using one Hausa Mallam who whisked me with his Okada. I never knew him from anywhere, but if I were to choose between Pharaoh and his chariots and the deep red sea, I will march forward in the Name of Jesus into the Red Sea.
Thank God for opening the Red Sea, as I was panicking on the bike, hoping the man would not betray the trust I decided to give him to carry me through Bauchi road to the Main campus.
For those who don’t know Plateau state, you may not understand how bad or painful it is that people’s lives are being used for political gains and wins. But the poor masses will continue to give their lives. It’s not just for plateau; it’s a human and a global pandemic, corrupting the soul and fibre of our evolution and human existence.
Is any life less meaningful and important?!!!?
How long!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥲🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭😭
