I have always been praying never to see any war in my life. I have heard so many stories of how people fourth war in the past.
The Biafran war cleared a lot of the Igbos and because I am from that part of Nigeria, I have alwappfelt bad because of how people lost their lives and properties. Hunger killed so many of them and most of our woman were married to the military men sent down to the Igbo land. They did that so that they can survive the hunger that was imposed on them by the Nigerian government. It took the Igbo race more than two decades to stand on their feet again. This history made me dread war. I don't ever want to experience it. O don't ever want to partake in it and by the grace of God, I will not see war with my two naked eyes.
I grew up in Jos and that was when Jos in platel loo state was a very peaceful place to be. Four years after I left Jos, the crisis began and up till today Jos crisis have taken down a lot of soldiers and civilians. Some times it is not the people that you think will die in a war will die. It might be your Loved ones. I believe that even the people who started the crisis in Jos have been so affected in such a way that they regret their actions. But is too late now that we have lost so many people in that city. the last one that took place a week back claimed a lot of lives including innocent children who don't even know what war is.
MY TAKA ON WAR AND WHAT I WILL DO IF IT AROUSED.
Though I have said all my prayers, but for the sake of this week 212 episode 3 in hive learner's community I will share what I think I will do if such happens.
MY SAFETY FIRST
When I hear war, all that comes to mind is what will I do? Where will I hide? Where is the enemy coming from so that I will know where to run from. I know that there will be that fear and all of that, but I will think of how to be safe first and not to join any army. In this case please I don't want to be a hero that fourth for her nation. I just want to be safe.
THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY COMES IN
I believe that the second thing that will come to mind is my family. No mother will be happy to hear that her child or children are killed because of war. She will do all it takes to prevent that id she have the power. The only reason I will agree to join the army is to save my family and friends. Not for the nation. I will not want to join, but if that is the only way to save my family I will do so.
Finally, no one should pray to face a world war because if dangerous. Is disastrous and no one will be happy at the end. Loved ones must have gone. Family and friends dead. The world will not be a sweet place to be any more
