SEGREGATION
When i hear this word (segregation), i remember the sayings of Marthin Luther King " i believe that one day blacks and white will stand together as brothers" if a BLACK man can have such a dream, i wonder why we shoud segregate ourselves not cos of colour but because we are from different tribes in th same country. This story is a true story of a young man who found love in the northern part of Nigeria but can not marry the girl he loves because he is from Edo state to be precise.
Ehi is a young man, a grad of Computer science that fell inlove with a girl from Igala, funny enough, he is a muslim and he would have understood if Aisha's father objected based on the fact that they had different religions. Unknown to both lovers, aisha's father has a dislike for people from Edo state based on some story in the past, but as we speak Ehi is suffering because one Edo person did something in the past and he is now been victimized because he is from that state. what i am trying to bring out is simply thus, must this innocent young man suffer for what another person did, does it mean because we are from different ethnic background we cant love freely...We always preach about the unity of the nation but still we have resevation on a sin someone else commited...whta do you think Ehi should do because as i write this, he is disraught and angry...and Aisha has no say in it because she is a girl. Do we have to give up on love based on ethnicity or should we fight for what we believe in...Ehi and Aisha need your comments and advice on what step to take for this is devastating to them.
As far as am concerned, this is an injustice to this poor lovers cos Ehi has done nothing wrong but love who he feels makes him happy butis now punished for what he doesnt know of or better still who he doesnt know...
IS IT RIGHT TO SUFFER THE SINS OF OTHERS

They shouldn't suffer for what they dnt know,nor suffer cos of tribes we didn't create nor select. God placed us where we r for HIS purpose,they shld pray, if she is his wife NOTHING n NO ONE can stop them. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteafter much discussion with aisha i found out that the problem is not just tribal but because Ehi has not gone to meet with her parents...How can he go when at the first instance her dad does not want an Edo person and two he says he hasnt gone because he wanted to set himself up properly before going there so they will accept him...thoughts of a man trying to make it in this country
ReplyDeleteafter all said and done, how many people will love to go to Kano state will all the bombings and feel safe...am not blaming Ehi for his fear of B.H but i still think if Aisha reall loved Ehi she would have stood her grounds on the choice of marriage...people say love conquers all but in this scenario, love sure wasnt enough to make her stay...maybe she didnt really love him,maybe they were not meant to be, but whatever the case may be, Ehi now knows love is just a something u read about it doesnt exist in Nigeria
