ENVYING GAZA......A NIGERIAN

HARD TALKS
As we watch the onslaught in GAZA (Palestine) one is dismayed and shocked by the pictures, but wait.. I sat back to analyse some of the details and I was more dismayed by the sensation of envy or jealousy that overcame me as a Nigerian. I am not a sadist.

  • I saw an old woman getting water from a tap in a half bombed home. Good God!!! How many homes do we have running water in 'Peaceful' Nigeria?
  • How many ambulances do we have in Nigeria for 145 million African giants? I imagined all the road accident 'rescues' I have witnessed in Peace time Nigeria an I thought i never imagined them...... BTW when was the last time you saw an ambulance rushing to an accident scene in any part of Nigeria?
  • The next scene sent me crying not for Palestinians only but for Lagosians, Coal city -Enugu etc populace.....alas a family at the underground part of their home were reading the Koran with a light from electricity (not from a generator) and were telling the press man that the nearby blocks are in darkness and suffering because their power transformer was rocketed a day earlier. My heart broke when I thought of Nigeria (NEPA) or whatever and the whole infrastructure at the services of the GIANT OF AFRICA. I wondered who 'rocketed' all the transformers in Nigeria?
  • FIREMEN ; This is a professional figure children in Nigeria know from their books and TV programs. In a bus stop at Enugu (fire service) i.e. after Enugu zoo, a boy of 13 in the bus with me asked why it was called such a name. I told him some 'before the war' stories of Enugu fire service. Now he will see them in Gaza withtheir water hoses.
I better stop here and hope not to see Nigerians migrating to Gaza tomorrow or at least until peace comes back there.
I stand to be corrected or calmed of this 'macabrous Envy or thoughts'
Long live Nigeria and peace to the Middle East
