Scores killed as military, Boko Haram clash in Baga, Northeast Nigeria

If it takes a village to raise any African child, why is Boko Haram going around killing their own and burning down village after village? 

Our sense of inspiration knows no limitations, for wisdom comes with age and Boko Haram’s militants are fools since they are of age.

We won’t turn the page to the story of our lives so soon, this is only the first page as we are setting up many future scenes and already unveiled the old stage. Our inspirational propensity knows no instrumental limitations nor damage.

Let’s take common sense above any religious fanatic habits and blind cultural practices as we adopt this poetic adage. Is it true that common sense isn’t that common or are these people just not able to see and read between the lines of these beautiful and honest pages?

There’s only one Human Race and our sense of diversity is what epitomizes God’s patience, an eternal omnipresence, and His everlasting Age. We were meant to celebrate each other and thrive to be better tomorrow as yesterday is turned after each complete page.
