Why We Should Strengthen Our Bond Of Relationship -By Adamu Yalwa Gabi

One may really be amazed with most of my published articles on the national dailies if not bothered on why I always tried to hampered on the need for Nigerians to be united devoid of any primordial sentiment or rancour while I remained not fully or even half known to be a religious bigot nor a preacher or scholar but still propagating the gospel of peace at this trying moment when our dear country with a population of over one hundred and forty millions people as per 2006 last census conducted is almost about to break.

The logic behind this is to contribute my quota as a patriotic Nigerian towards the nation building by way of cementing the cracks emanating from the olden days muddy or sandy wall just as that of the ancient city walls that were built using traditional method while serving as a defence against enemies during intra communal crisis or even beyond, before the advent of present day construction techniques but still standing the taste of time even when compared to modern construction driven technology as every one owe a responsibility to sanitise on the dare need of our peaceful coexistence as a bridge builder in making not to leave everything in the hands of government alone with the belief that no any meaningful development could be achieve in chaos.

Lest, I do not want to be fingered or caught as not been a pious by not backing up the religion I was born and brought in to no matter the circumstances or even be suspected as half a Muslim though I belong not to a mixed religion as mostly found in some northern parts of the country where members of a particular family are leverage to practice any of the two religions like that of a polygyny family type of marriage some times referred to as polygamy which allows a man to marry  more than one wife concurrently or simultaneously  as mostly found in Asia and a case study of Cameroon from the African continent where a king is allowed to tie a knot with up to 300 wives.

At a different fora, I kept emphasizing on why a human being that was created by God Almighty after passing a circular process of forty days each from the sperm which later changes to blood and finally a flesh before been blown with a life spam plus all the goodies and bodies he or she may encounter as a destiny before coming to the universe for a prescribed grace period of time could try to witch hunt his fellow creatures that were created by the creator for the same purpose of worshipping the creator of all and sundry.

Since no one among us can add a single time frame of a second to any vagabond for continued existence or heal the patient lying on a sick bed from an illness weather at home or hospitals without the will of the Almighty God who is master of the day of resurrection and that of the day of judgement, I think we all supposed to close the chapter of conceiving any hatred or finding a portion in the heart to keep malice be it those from diverse ethnoreligious affiliations or that of a divergent political class as a case close for things to move from the stagnation stage to that of a motion energy.

Assuming Nigeria, the country we tend to be proud of is divisible; every bonafide person that owes allegiance to the doctrine of Nigeria’s constitution must legitimately have a share just as that of the will from its inheritance because no body from whatever kind of a particular advanced family or section can claim or prove the ownership of a quarter, half or even the entire country blessed with its abundant natural resources ranging from the long term abandoned agricultural farm produce of groundnut pyramid and that of the cotton production all from the northern region or the cocoa production historically recognised in the west and that of the crude oil from the riverine areas of Niger Delta region that is still serving as the country’s major economic source of income over the years.

Unfortunately enough, even with the rich oil wells the country was blessed with, there is lesser benefiting factor by the lower class since it undergoes the refining process here but subsequently end up exporting the accomplished refined products to other developed countries like USA and UK among others whose names had already taken a prolonged time frame in the list of world powers, leaving the main producer yet to be among the world economies for centuries perhaps, I wish these could have been a topic of its own, so let me not deviate from where am heading to so as to make my writing more coherent and convincing before losing a single reader of my piece for the sake of another ideas without dabbling in my future piece.

Things could have change for the better if other citizens may have the same like minds with me in understanding the truth by trying not to hide under the agony of life, though am not bragging to be an exceptional person that is highly focused and well determined in ensuring that Nigeria belongs to all of us not you or I alone.

So, please let us not shield our sword to cause whatever sort of mayhem for the interest of a few amongst the many innocent lives.

Nigeria, united we stand divided we fall!!!
