killings in kaduna

i would like to use this medium to affirm my absolute disgust on the killings in kaduna,this only goes further to prove the fact that the north is educationally backward!it hurts me to make this assertion but i think it is obvious that this assertion is true!.the 2011 election can be considered as the second best election this great country has ever conducted after the june twelve election, and yet some people in the north still found an excuse to perpetuate their hideous act against humanity.i read a particular write up by mr Olabode Ososami and i was moved to tears please read  and tell me  what you think :

A voice heard in Ramah. Dead Bodies litter Kaduna, Nigeria in post election crisishttp://blogs.christianpost.com/christianlife/2011/04/a-voice-heard-in-ramah-dead-bodies-litter-kaduna-nigeria-in-post-election-crisis-20/

Brother Peter Abudu sits awaiting a friend’s assistance to enable him reach the outside world via cell phone credit as yesterday there was a 24hr curfew declared in Kaduna, Nigeria. Now movements are restricted from 12noon to 5.00pm ... his wife must soon rush out to obtain urgent supplies. The atmosphere is thick with fear as several text messages calling for Jihad to reclaim through any possible means, the northern and central zones of the nation are circulating.  One does not know what to believe...is it true for example that a nearby village is being presently attacked by men with stolen security uniforms to defy the curfew and gain access into unguarded neighborhoods.
The media continue to report the crisis as primarily political, but no one explains why over 50 Churches have been burnt and the attackers chant muslim choruses.
Burned corpses with machete wounds lay in roads and smoke rose above this city where rioting broke out again Tuesday among Muslim opposition supporters who were angered by the announcement that the Christian incumbent president had won the election. On the outskirts of Kaduna, burned out minibuses and cars littered the highways, and at least six charred bodies could be seen. Skull caps and sandals were strewn nearby, left behind by those who frantically fled amid the chaos. Authorities and aid groups have hesitated to release tolls following the riots across northern Nigeria for fear of inciting reprisal attacks, but the National Emergency Management Agency confirmed there had been fatalities. The Nigerian Red Cross said Tuesday that nearly 400 people had been wounded. In a televised address to the nation late Monday, President Goodluck Jonathan said that "nobody's political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian." Hours later, the president suspended his interior minister, citing "a number of lapses in the political leadership of the ministry."
Brother Peter wonders if this is what Armageddon may one day look like, and meditates on the book of Revelation for comfort and light in a time of extreme darkness.  He reflects - a bit puzzled at the courage of the Muslim attackers ready to die to prove the supremacy of their faith and yet brother Christians in wealthier southern neighbourhoods seem intent on maintaining the mirage that this is only yet another skirmish that will soon pass.  Brother Peter feels like the abandoned John the Baptist - awaiting the consummation of Salome’s revenge.
The news has just been confirmed by a text on the phone...a nearby village has been attacked by jihadists disguised as security personnel...again the death toll will be kept a secret...and the story whitewashed as a land or local dispute.  Everyone must be vigilant.
Brother Peter gathers his family for devotion...his son asks him  “ is it not right to fight and defend life and stop further carnage... but why do the Christians in the South do nothing?”  Peter hesitates before he must answer...as he must teach the loving Christ who went to the cross as a defenceless lamb who would not permit his disciples to protest His unjust arrest... for our salvation.
It is the Easter season and all over the world as the risen Christ is being celebrated -Peter feels defeated, isolated, abandoned and disconnected from other brethren. He encourages himself and resolves to teach his children soon about the crowns in Heaven.
A noise outside... there are people surrounding the compound...a scream is heard..."they are here”...”who” ...suddenly the door is forced open.
The devotion is brought to a sudden end as a dozen men with machetes seize first his son...his wife screams... minutes later they leave...there is silence. No more wailing...no more voices.  The Bible study is truncated.  Peter’s last thoughts ...crowns in heaven.
Jeremiah 31[15] Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. [16]  Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. [17]  And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
‎"The thing that makes us whimper is that we will look for justice. If you look for justice in your Christian work you will soon put yourself in a bandage and give way to self-pity and discouragement. Never look for justice, but never cease to give it." - Oswald Chambers
There is hope in Christ.  Our God reigns. Pray for Nigeria.
