'Is There Really Hope For Nigeria'? Videos Of Lagos Plane Crash Scene + List Of Passengers

It is precisely three days since I posted Stella Damasus' write up HERE, it was an article of hope, about how Nigeria will be better SOON, I must say I agreed with her, but right now I'm not so sure. It is hard to describe my state of mind when I first heard this tragic news, it felt too close to home.

I may be all the way in London but it definitely feels like I lost a family member, this could have been anyone. The most upsetting bit comes when you pile up the incidents that occurred this year alone. Do you remember how we started this year? I'll remind you, January 1st, we got the news about subsidy removal and we know how many lives followed that. Today alone, we had to endure the news of a plane crash killing all those on board, as well as news of the Christian worshipers in Bauchi who also lost their lives to Boko Haram. Where do we start?

Every time I pick up the Times or get on the CNN, it is always one negative story or the other, our people dying like we are worthless, why is life so cheap in my country? Maybe Stella isn't wrong, maybe there is still hope because after all, it could take one man for everything to turn around, with life there is hope ... Let's not loose hope, let's not quit the prayers. RIP to those who lost their lives, hopefully the bereaved families will find strength.
