Will Nigeria turn the other cheek?

To be very honest, it is best not to speak when angry but there comes a time when silence is betrayal.

I am utterly disgusted by the xenophobic attacks on Africans especially Nigerians by South-Africans. Hate is currently brewing in my heart. Hatred for a complacent government that let tragedies reoccur. Hatred for people who see this as an opportunity to play God over other humans.

This is not a time for prayers. This is not a time to console the family of the dead. This is a time for us (Nigerians) as a people to protect our future. I would hate to see this happen a third time in my lifetime.
