When I read the news on this deportation and other racial attacks currently happening in places like Libya and other parts of Europe, I said to myself this is a lesson for Nigerians.
This is Nigeria, the only country that you and I have; we can’t afford to destroy it. If you think you will make Nigeria burn from the mosque because you have Muslim countries to go, Libyans (in a Muslim country) are torturing and Killing immigrants without recourse to their religion. When you think that you will make Nigeria bleed with your tongue and exaggerations from the Church, then let it be known to you that one of the most Christian Countries in the world, a country that brought Christianity to us, has just deported about 40 hard working Nigerians without saving any Christian for his religion. If your only aim is that your shrine should stand against any religion or you disrespect another person’s religion, then the so-called “free world” (America) has now shut its doors to all immigrants without regards to whether they are Muslims, Christians, traditionalists, cultists or Satanists.
If your thought is that the country should go on fire because your religious or shrine leader is legally made to pay for his wrong, I am sorry!
Did you ever have a dream that these religious or cult leaders who are competing with each other in flying private jets, building expensive houses and driving latest cars will ever care for you when the whole heaven they call actually fall? Do you think you are immune from the worse than what the malnourished, dying refugees you see on TV are going through?
Many of the refugees from Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria were billionaires and Millionaires. They were the people who were neither taxed by government nor forced to work, but they received income alert in a corner of their beds. Today their luxury is gone for their acts. They are now living below reasonable human standard.
The plight of the people in these warring nations should call you to attention and make you join hands in making this country a better place.
It doesn’t matter whether the governor of your state or the President is not from your tribe, religion, cult or sect. What must matter to you is your only place to live as of right: your Nigeria tomorrow. God bless Nigeria.

I wish our National Orientation Agency publishes this write up in both print and audio media and in every known Nigerian language and also through every known means so as to ensure every Nigerian is reached. Good and very thought provoking.
