LET'S ALL SPEAK ONE LANGUAGE!

“That is not just possible!'' Someone thundered behind me as I was typing this article! But I
believe it is possible! Very possible! We can speak the language of love for others, instead of
deep seated acrimony, the
language of care, instead
of neglect, Godly feelings
for others, in place of
abduction and ceaseless
kidnapping, communal
acceptance, the way it was
when we were young,
when you could take a gift
without greed, visit a
neighbor without
sponsored segmentation or
hateful demeanour, and
care about others, whether
they were Kanuri, Fulani,
Ishan, Ibo, Efik, Yoruba or
Hausa!

Are you still there?

Nigeria is blessed with
different languages and cultures and we have unique ways of greeting and celebrating various
festivals. Why not let's extend all of these to our daily lives?

Let's rise beyond our altered images and rebuild, using the language of communal love, for the
sake of our children and their children after them. Let the world speak one language: the
language of oneness, one Nigeria! From Jos to Gombe, from Katsina to
the Plateau, from Kaduna to Ilorin and from Anambra to Bayelsa, let
the hatred stop! Inspire somebody! Don't say ,''He is not my brother!''
Live by choice and not by chance! Make changes! Be motivated! Save
the future!

An old Indian Philosopher, Yash Vidya, said, ''There are hundreds of
languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all''.

Care about people. Let's build a new Nigeria.
