AGE OF COMPARATIVE TRAGEDY

    

                 AGE OF COMPARATIVE TRAGEDY

When you ask them why should two people be Killed, they will say it used to be five. When you asked them why jail bloggers, they will say it used to be journalists; we live in the age of comparative tragedy.      SENATOR SHEHU SANI




Peace be upon you.
Today’s topic was extracted from the tweet of Senator Shehu Sani who noted with great dismay how the values we all share as  a common family has been eroded on the altar of politics without empathy and sympathy. When political or economic systems are compared world over , there are acceptable indices and indicators that come to the fore as a result of the impact such variable has made on the society.

The advantages of comparing political and economic systems most of the times is to show how things can be done better through exploring the strengths and working out how to improve on the weaknesses.

If I may ask, in the last five years in Nigeria, what is the statistics of people lifted out of poverty? Has the educational system in Nigeria improved? Has the culture of religious extremism and fundamentalism been replaced with education for peace and peaceful living?

These are the type of question we must engage our minds with rather than comparing tragedies.

Let’s work to be better than yesterday.

Peace be with you.

While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development. While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens. While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon. After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour. Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc has been re...

THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION

                                         THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION                                           BY CHIBU NDUBUISI 15/05/2017 Peace be to you. Feeding bottle is used to feed infants because they are yet to develop the capacity to feed themselves. It is designed in such a way that the feed tickles down to the dependent infant. An infant that uses feeding bottle does not understand what it takes to make the feed, but the parent or guardian are hopeful that one day the infant will grow up and begin to feed him/herself. When this scenario does not play out as expected, then we assume that there is a problem. As illustrated above, so it is with the country N...
