Yes! Am back

Yes! am back. Have been away writing my final exams and rounded up this morning. Am ma graduate now. No be big deal oh for so many people but for me, its a big big deal and i owe it all to God almighty. There are millions of Nigerian youths out there who graduated from secondary school the same year i did and are out there, still praying and hoping to get into the university. I got admission. God kept me through school in the University of Jos, through all the crisis, tension and bombings. I mean, God has been faithful and i thank Him...
During my absence from this blog, the brutal and unjust killing of those four young University undergraduates( Tekena, Lyord, Chiadike and Ugonna) happened in ALUU Rivers State.I tried to write something about it earlier, but could not find the words to express the pain and shock that gripped me as i heard about their story. Up till now, am not yet over the shock of the reality of the death of those promising guys. When i first heard the news, i felt really bad but when i mistakenly(for i said i wouldn't look at it) came across the pictures of their humiliation and death on facebook, i was devastated. I cried soo hard my chest hurt. I started to ask myself questions; what have we become in the country, where has our humanity gone, what has happened to the humans in us?...
 Today makes it a week since they were killed, but the pain is still fresh for me. I wonder what  there families would be going through, i wonder how they would be able to live with the knowledge that their loved ones were humiliated to death. Hmm! I pray God comfort them with His comfort. Am more worried that up till now, no body has been arrested and am scared this will just pass like Akpo 6 killings(remember?). Well, i really hope the government will take appropraitee measure to punish those involved in this gruesome act. May there souls rest in peace, amen. I pray this kind of thing never happened in this country again.
See, surviving in this country has become a huge privilege cause lots of odds are against us;the government, fellow citizens, boko haram etc so whenever you find yourself breathing, always always thank the Lord ok!
I think i will stop here for today, am so full of thanks to God for making me a graduate and my mum is making cow stomach peeper soup for me, you know, to celebrate mua asper first graduate of the house. Hehehe. no be small thing oh. Cant wait to go savour it, you are free to join me oh, if you can locate me.
Love you. Am out.
