Violence only begets Violence

Violence only stirs more chaos.Very true. But in a situation where violence is forcefully imposed on innocent lives, civilians and bystanders. Where people are killed with no respect for lives, religion or consequences then there is a problem. Not just ethical or moral problem but plain inhumane problems. Especially when there's nobody fighting back. But then its hard to fight back since the violence are caused by "Boko Haram"- a supposedly militant "Islamic group" with links to Al Qaeda. Honestly though Who or what is Boko Haram? And it seems like every attack on Nigeria Boko Haram takes credit for it. Including bank robberies, suicide attacks etc. I guess its safe to say there are many sectors of Boko Haram that Nigerians still don't know of. Every suspect that has been caught gets gunned down! Do the police and government not want information? Or are they just gunning down random people who they think are Boko Haram members because not even the police know whether this group truly exists or not. What about the senator that was funding them. I bet he will go Scot free, I mean its Nigeria, where corruption has reached a peak that there can't be any form of corruption to match it. Which leaves people thinking if its all political. Bombings and violence started as soon as President Goodluck Jonathan became president and ever since everything went insane in a country that has been peaceful since the civil war ended in 1970.
violence is a fact of life. Just like hunger, love, kindness, etc.There are people who are willing to use it to get what they want and in order to stop them they need to be met with violence. If it wasn't for war and violence or the threat of waging war people like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin would be running the world and you would get shot for going around saying stupid things like violence only begets violence. All other tactics and measures used to eliminate these people has not worked and they are still stirring terror everywhere. Since they haven't stated what they want or why they are bombing and shooting innocent people or at least the public hasn't been informed then they need to be treated like the animals they are. They need to be eliminated. Talking, pleading etc isn't working for them like it would work for normal peaceful human.
Fighting like a disciplined soldier is one thing, fighting like a cheap thug is another. The government and security agencies need to come together and eliminate them once and for all since they obviously don't want peace..whoever they are. And while they are at it also find out if its all political and if politicians or people with power are funding and financing these terrorists for their own reasons. But unfortunately the system has become too complicated and corrupt just like every single candidate lies to get elected and then sells his soul to the parasite special interest groups or individual who gave him the money to run his campaign..
Violence is never the answer, but these terrorists are on a killing spree which doesn't look like the en

d is coming anytime soon. Too much blood has been shed, and its not like God will personally come down and make it all stop. I'm just being practical..But then again it's me just thinking out loud

    Hi Ummy, your thinking is right by pointing out that we are not living in the jungle where everything is brutish and nasty and no one is safe but sleeping with one eye open. you see my mate,if we truly live in the jungle, how could we be safe? lion is the king of the jungle, tiger his vice and the ministers are hyenas, we antelopes are nothing but prey to them, that is the reason why i will like you to bring out your intellectual strategies that could set us free from the traps of these wicked. thank you.

Returning to Alignment

Loving the Divine means loving all of the Divine’s creations. It is impossible to truly declare devotion while dishonoring the souls that walk this earth each on their own sacred journey. The Divine is woven through everything: in every person, every living being, every moment of grace. To love the Divine is also to love yourself. Self-love is not selfish; it is sacred. It means honoring your soul, living by your values, and aligning your life with who you truly are. This alignment is the bridge between your inner world and the Divine’s truth. My own path has been one of constant learning and unlearning of resetting myself from the inside out. Along this journey, so much has been illuminated that I can no longer ignore. I see now how often I gave my light away to those who did not honor it those whose values did not reflect mine. Those who prioritized their desires on this physical realm over my soul. I offered my spirit where there was only manipulation and deceit. I did all that in t...

Rahma — A Blessing in Every Way

A blessing is all that my mother has ever been to me, to our family, and to everyone who’s had the honor of knowing her. She is a woman whose presence feels sacred, whose values are stitched into her daily life, whose essence carries the kind of love that leaves you better than it found you. Growing up, I was surrounded by pure, intentional love. The kind that holds you, shapes you, and teaches you without ever needing to shout. My mother raised us in a home full of warmth, but also full of values. She gave us everything she could, her time, her wisdom, her laughter, her prayers and always, her unwavering belief in who we were becoming. I grew up in a household where  "I love you" was said freely, without hesitation. Where hugs and kisses were constant, not reserved for special occasions. It didn’t matter how many times she saw you in a day, whether it was once or ten times, you’d still get a hug. A kiss on the forehead. A gentle “I love you” whispered like a prayer. That kin...

“Stand on That 1%”

You give 99 percent of the time, you pour from places people never knew were running dry. you smile through storms, show up when the world turns its back, hold hands that never reached for yours and still… you give. But on that one day, that 1% , when you choose you you become the villain in their story. not because you wronged them, but because you stopped watering roots that never grew for you. Let this be your reminder: Stand. On. That. 1%. Because those who truly saw you, those who drank from your rivers and planted seeds beside you , they’ll still water you . they’ll understand your silence , respect your boundary , honor your breath. because they too come from love. fellowship with them. The only ones who’ll feel betrayed are the ones who picked your fruit and never touched the soil. the ones who came for the harvest but never stayed for the rain . So stand. stand on that 1% not in guilt, but in grace. Stand on the legacy passed down from your flesh & blood on the same leg...
