Where there is no progress and there is poverty it’s likely
that we get Boko Haraam is South Africa. We must all know that Nigeria is also
a democratic country. When people feel and believe that they are not being heard it’s
easier to do those crazy things.
Boko Haram is an unhappy group that is against the system
and they are not being heard so they are taking actions into their own hands.
Leaders should take control and listen to their people. The
protests and poo war are just the beginning in our beautiful country, I can’t
help but to notice and hear the noises that might one day be awakened.We have a lot to think about as a country, the Boko Haram saga is not just terror to Nigeria, it is a terror to the continent. And it is also a lesson that should be learn by our leaders.
To be honest, we have our own Boko Haram especially here in Cape Town. We have rapes and gang violence. I’m sure other provinces are facing the same if not even more issues.
I’m not trying to block the sympathy that people have about
the girls, I feel sorry for them and their families, and no one deserves that.
But we should also focus on our own unresolved issues.
A friend of mine suggested that we should plan a march about
these girls, even though we always supported each other but I couldn’t support
her on this one. I have never heard anyone saying we must go and protest in Delf
about the unending rape that is happening on that area, I have never heard
anyone marching to Manenberg about the drugs and gangs that are invading that
area and killing innocent people.
Oh by the way how safe are our girls now? I mean since the
trend started more than 600 people have been killed, how safe are they now?
Don’t you think the trend will make things worse for them? I’m just saying, I
may be wrong, but I have seen how things were to Kenneth Bae, an American citizen who was detained in North
Korea, did they set him free just because the whole world is talking about it? the answer is: it didn’t stop them from detaining him, and he
even said people must stop because they are making things difficult for him. I just hope things turn different to the girls.
