THE ONE PLAGUE THAT IS NOT UNITING NIGERIA
____________

Only one PLAGUE and the world stood still. Only one PLAGUE and the World Government is humble. Only one PLAGUE and the world powers are confused. Only one PLAGUE and everyone is scampering for safety. Only one PLAGUE and all economy is shut down - schools shut down, offices shut down, streets deserted. Only one PLAGUE Mecca sent back its worshippers; Jerusalem turned back her tourists; Vatican locked out her pilgrims. Just one PLAGUE Churches are shut down, mosques are closed, All Sports are postponed; Olympic is shutting down, Clubs are sealed; the entertainment industry is groaning mournfully. Just because of one PLAGUE, dont shake hands again; dont hug each other again; keep a social distance. Before this one PLAGUE, many nations were in war. Syria and its combatants have been reducing Damascus to ruins in their air strikes, with America seeking the head of Bashir Assad, its major belligerent; The revolt in Iran was raging with its innuendos; Turkey was still living with accusations of aiding ISIS and others in the Islamic Maghreb. But the entire turmoil quenched before this one PLAGUE with all nations scampering for their united safety and survival.

It is only in Nigeria that this one PLAGUE is not bringing consciousness to the people. Rather than suspend squabbles and face the one PLAGUE about to kill us all, energies and time are still being wasted in fighting Mohammadu Buhari and enlisting his deficiencies. Before the one PLAGUE that has humbled and quieted political vilification and vituperations across the globe, my beloved nation is still soaked in the politics of the one PLAGUE, associating the pandemic with bickering, name-calling and stone-throwing that has characyerized the besetting factors of our democracy. If this one PLAGUE does not humble and unite us in struggle, then only Nigeria maybe awaiting not just one more PLAGUE but a locust that may quarantine this nation perpetually. May God save us from this doomsday.
