Better we breakup 

Living together is toxic to us

I believe most of us have read the previous article I wrote about the lady that was murdered by a crowd who believes that death is the judgment for anyone who blasphemy their prophet S.A.W, how it went down, I didn't intend to write on this but just this afternoon as I log in my Twitter account. I checked out what was trending and as expected, I saw that the same people that murdered the girl were trending, I opened it and I saw pictures and videos of people from the north (Sokoto state) protesting that the authorities should release their brothers that were arrested concerning the death of the innocent girl.

They where so many of them and they all hit the streets with a paper signs and was protesting that their brothers should be released and its an injustice to arrest them, they were only following the law of what they were thought, the police were telling them to go away and that they won't release the people, that is when they now enter the street and starts destroying the none Muslim properties, people that said they are doing peaceful protest. Videos were coming on the internet as they were also videoing what they were destroying.

They left the police station and went to the Catholic Church that was in clothes to them and started destroying the church properties, both old and young, children that were supposed to be in school and studying to become better tomorrow were among the crowd that was destroying things, they said that they don't blasphemy other people religion, destroying church properties isn't part of blaspheming? They destroyed goods worth millions and some of them started going house to house to beat people that were none Muslim in the state, they were carrying out all this barbarism in daylight and the government is not doing anything about it, if it was in the east or south that this thing is happening, we would have seen battalions of soldiers fully armed to shoot and kill people, but because top politicians of Nigeria are Muslims, they were just watching.

Someone wrote that the best thing for this country is to split the country and let the north go their ways.

So many people were tweeting about what should be done for all these to end because it has been going on for so long and no Muslims are being killed in the north.

A pastor narrated a story that he encountered when he was staying in the north, he said a woman called the people that use to carry recycle bin, so they can carry her own away, as they were packing the bin, they saw a Quran inside the bin, and immediately they alert the others and accuse the woman of blasphemy of wanting to throw away the Quran, they said that they must put her to death and the police try saving her and putting her on their custody, but the people weren't satisfied, not until she is dead, the family managed to sneak her out of the state overnight, but in the morning, they see the peace rejoicing as they hang the woman head on a stick.

Truly, leaving Nigeria is was not easy, cause we might just wake up one day and hear that the country is on fire, staying in the northern part of the country is like a time bomb that is waiting to explode and any tiny movement will just make it go boom.

Insecurity has been a big problem in the north for years now and not a day goes by that we don't hear that more than 20 people were killed by bandits or Boko haram terrorists, the formal President was trying to accomplish peace in the north while he was in the office, though he was from the south, but be placed his focus on the north because he believes that it can bring peace to the north, Nigeria will get better, he built schools for the children to study there because the illiteracy in the northern part of the country is too much and hardly you see any educated person from North, except the big men children, he did a lot of things in the north but still they voted him out.

As seen in the tweet, these people don't want peace and as I have mentioned before, if this had happened in the east or south, the streets would have been flooded with blood killing innocent people, just a few months back, bandits attacked the airport in the north and took over it, before then, they also attacked the headquarter of a security agency which is also located in the north and they took over it, the President sent battalions of soldiers to the east and not the north that is turning into a state of emergency, they sent them to the east and they started killing people innocent people that were believed to be Biafra.

The IPOB or popularly known as Biafra are people from the east that believed that the name Nigeria is a curse and the unity we think we have is fake, they believe that splitting the country will be the best and the east will go by the name Biafra, the leader of the people were kidnapped from another country and brought to Nigeria, since he has been awaiting justice, these government people shifted the face of the security agency to the place that doesn't need much security.

The one that pained me pass is a presidential candidate that condemned the killing of the young lady, after tweeting that the perpetrators should be arrested, some Muslim people commented that he has just lost millions of votes from the north, he then deleted the tweets and wrote another one that he was informed that a tweet was posted without his knowledge and he's sorry for it, I was so disappointed in him, shouldn't have tweeted it if he was only going to lie that he wasn't aware of the tweet, my respect for him is gone already.

I do have many screenshots and I will just drop some below in case you want to know more because I feel the article is getting too long.

This last tweet does sound funny but its the painful truth.

Ps: I don't discriminate against any religion but if splitting the country will bring peace, let us split it cause we can't continue to die in silence of unity when we never united.
