They came as Reverend Fathers before we saw Chains and Boats along our coast, trading our heritage for mirrors and guns.
Now they are coming again, this time as defenders of the Christian faith, to savage our fragile society under the disguise of salvation and morality.
Tell them we know what they know now. Even though our history was erased, the impact of western atrocities still exists deeply in our society today.
We did not forget, and while some westerners describe our ancestors’ hospitality as cowardice—impoverishing them, enslaving them, and subjecting them to ridicule—times have changed. We are very educated now, very well aware, very well informed about their ways of instilling modern-day slavery while casting heritage and humanity to ruins.
We acknowledge our problems, yes, but no patriotic Nigerian is willing to watch a stranger burn down his father’s house.
While some ignorant elements may wish such mayhem upon us, those who have lived in war-torn cities would never see foreign invasion as a solution to Nigeria’s problems.
This is a wake-up call to all benefactors of Nigeria’s disunity. No foreigner cares to know whether you are a Northerner or a Southerner, Christian or Muslim. When they see you, they see a black man.
WE MUST DO BETTER FOR NIGERIA. NOT JUST IN TALKS OR RESPONDING TO TRUMP. DO BETTER
