LEAH SHARIBU: AN UNFINISHED DIALOGUE



LEAH SHARIBU: AN UNFINISHED DIALOGUE

“One can be comforted for one who is dead but not one who is still living”


Peace be upon you.

This is my 51st blog post 2018 and I am simply following the advice from Nathan and Rubecca Leah’s parents that “We should use whatever influence we have, even if it is our social media profile to speak for religious freedom and peaceful coexistence as reported by Reno Omokri in his book Leah Sharibu: The Girl Boko Haram Left Behind.

Jonathan Sacks notes that “God created many cultures, civilizations and faiths but only one world in which to live together and it is getting smaller all the time. The question is why is the space of religious freedom getting smaller? It is getting smaller because of education for war, intolerance, extremism and fundamentalism.

Reno Omokri noted in his book that he wants the world to know that there is a young girl who is still being held captive by Boko Haram simply because she refused to abandon her faith in God through Jesus Christ.

To make peace, we must make space for someone else who may not be of the same faith or ilk with us.

This post is for Leah Sharibu and for her parents that they may be consoled by the book of Jeremiah 31:17 “There is hope for your future, declares the lord, and your children shall come back to their country”. Amen

Peace be with you.

WHILE WE WERE PRAYING: BY AN ANONYMOUS WRITER.

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast. So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory of it. While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology. While we were praying, India went into ICT. While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization. While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development. 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...
