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.

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
