Welcome to the "Religious Mumudom of Naija"

: After reading the Open Letter of Lagbaja to Okey Ndibe yesterday, it'll be "Suicidal Wisdom" to agree less on all the issues listed in the interesting piece. The letter captured only what transpired in this "Mumudom" in a space of just 2 Weeks. As an Engineer whose professional training includes "Interpolation", it'll be "Sheer Unpalatable" to try 'Extrapolating'  these happenings to a Space of 1 Month or 1 Year. Naijas 'might' not be Good in a lot of things, but we're simply the Best in "Shock Absorbing". If a quarter of the things that happen in this "Mumudom" and make us "Smile" happen in other Kingdoms, the world would've long witnessed another round of "Human Evolution". But in the "Religious Mumudom of Naija" all we do is to "Hope and Pray" thereby becoming the only "Human Species" that're 'Suffering and Smiling' (Royalty to Baba Fela Kuti). The other thing that the "Suffer-Immuned Citizens" of this Great Mumudom are good at is 'Sentimental Accusation'. The Ruled accuses the Rulers and vice-versa, either on Tribal or Religious grounds. But as a 'Special Specie' of humans, we still "Disunitedly" pay our "Civic Allegiance" to the Mumudom. It's very hard to read or write about this Mumudom without concluding that it's "Amalgamatedly" divided between "Christian" South and "Muslim" North. Every Citizen of this Mumudom claims one of the "Faith", even the Jujumen; (Babalawos and Dibias). One preaches LOVE and the other preaches PEACE but unfortunately,  these two "Binding Forces" happen to be exactly what the Mumudom (both Ruled and Rulers) are Greatly LACKING. This is so because the "Christian LOVE" has been replaced with "Secular Materialism", while the "Muslim PEACE" is about being hijacked by "Fundamental Extremists". If Atheist nations like China can get it Right, a "Religious Mumudom" like Naija should have been a "Paradise on Earth" long ago. Again,  because we're Special Specie of Humans, all the Blessings Almighty God bestowed on this Mumudom have all "Evolved" into Curses with our collective help. Finally, I ask..........."Do we really need REVOLUTION in this Mumudom to get things Right?".
