TEACHER’S REFLECTION:
There is need to change strategy.
The most effective strategy to
achieve our goal: To cause
sectarian war between Christians
and Muslims in Nigeria; will be to
bomb churches, when we bomb
churches, Christians will revenge
and there will be endless circle of
revenge that will to religions war.
HOMEWORK:
Bomb churches.
-Dec 2011, Boko Haram claimed
responsibility for bomb attacks on
churches across Nigeria
Are the bomb throwers in Sapele
helping or hurting Bokos?
Do the Sapele bomb throwers
understand its enemy: Bokos?
Revenge is not justice. It’s a quick-
fix. It will not give justice to those
killed in Mandala or Jos; rather it
will create more innocent victims.
None of the 7 hurt in Sapele
threw bomb in Mandala or Jos,
they may not even be supporters
of Bokos. When you allow a
violent group like Bokos to
change your way of life, your
culture of peace and civility, then
you are the loser, you’ve been
defeated by Bokos, Bokos is the
winner.
Those who threw bomb at
innocent Islamic students in
Sapele are not different from
those who threw bombs into
churches in Mandala and Jos.
Revenge is unchristian; it spawns
an endless cycle of violence. What
Nigeria needs right now is a long
term solution to these man-made
problems, we must fast forward
these short term violent solutions
because it is a bad movie, we
need to go straight to the better
movie, the long term solution.
Although, the bomb throwers in
Sapele will get some immediate
gratification because they feel
wronged, killing more innocent
people is not the solution.
Although, it will send a message
to Bokos that it has no monopoly
of violence. However, only sick
people will support the killing of
innocent people regardless of
tribe or religion.
According to William Mikulas, a
professor of psychology at the
University of West Florida. "With
revenge, you are coming from an
orientation of anger and violence
or self-righteousness: 'I want to
get him, I want to hurt them … I
want to make them pay.' You're
coming from a place of violence
and anger and that's never
good."
Nigeria needs a sovereign national
conference; it needs a non-violent
conflict resolution strategy to
solve the problem.
