RIP The Aluu 4

The heavy logs landing on their faces.Their cries of please rending the air,piercing my heart.I wondered why the people stood just watching.Why are they being beaten so,I asked in utter amazement but their cries filtered my questions,nobody was ready to answer me anyway.Then,the log landed so forcefully across his face again and the blood gushed as in water from an open  faucet,it splashed on my clothes as if commanding me to help the helpless,so I screamed at them to stop beating them.As I screamed,I felt a hand shaking me vigorously.Why would they want to stop me,I thought in my mind and so I screamed the more and the hand became two,shaking and pushing me so hard that I positioned myself to attack the hands.As I grabbed the hands,I sat up but I heard my sister's voice instead screaming my name.Opening my eyes,it was my sister alright,the clock says 2:14am.Are you alright?,my sister asked me bringing me back finally to the real world.It had been a dream.I just had a nightmare!.
Watching the internet video that showed the gruesome death of these promising young men traumatized me beyond belief.The beating,even for a thief was aggressive.Hitting their faces with planks and heavy logs of wood.People watching fellow humans stripped,harassed,beaten to defenselessness and consequently burnt alive.Too much for a sane mind to comprehend.
RIP Aluu 4...I wanted so much to be quiet about this but reading about them daily just torments my silence.

Strictly by IV!

I have always believed that weddings should be one of the happiest days in a couple's life.Overtime,I have seen couples swing from happy mood to sad because there are a lot more people than they budgeted for present at their wedding.In my dear country Nigeria,believe me,weddings are jamboree occassions.Invited or not,known to the couple or not,you can attend a wedding if you want to.I sincerely think that knowing the number of people coming to your wedding will help you curb expenses and stay within budget. Sadly,many people feel that weddings should be a happy moment for everyone and anyone present at the wedding as in come one,come all!.Well,if you have a blank cheque you can open your doors to the whole country!Some people actually think it is rude to be strict with the number of people you invite to your wedding,anyway you could choose to add +2 people besides the name of whomever you give an invitation.I personally think that the best way to have a fantastic wedding is to acco...
