I reasonably agree with you, but not without a comment. Peace is not far from us - it is veiled in understanding. If we are able to know why the situation is like this, then the long soght justice c** peace shall be achieved. Understanding and knowing the foundation of the teething problem absolutely help in solving them. The truth is that we still lack selfless leaders and purposeful masses! Until we with one voice demand and mentain that justice should be done in all cases no matter who is involved, we shall continue to die in silence - this is not my wish but it is the reality!

Jonathan is not from any of the major ethnic groups and he is the president of this country.  It is not even the oppressed in the land that are coming confussion because they have no voice.  It is still the elite that are responsible for problems we are passing through today.

You are still sounding ETHNIC and i don't see how 'JUSTCE' can be 'allowed' when we THINK, TALK n ACT ETHNICS however the truth is this 'MIXTURE' called NIGERIA is very ethnic and the CHEMICAL REACTION of the MIXTURE is unBALANCING so the much talked about JUSTICE, EQUITY and HOME GROWN DEMOCRACY will remain a MIRAGE until there is a DEVIATON from how we see things and DO OUR THINGS ETHNICALY. Question is ARE YOU A NIGERIAN or  YORUBA, HOUSA, IBO or 'YOUR OWN ETHNIC? We all have INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS TO ASK AND ANSWER....ITS BEGINS WITH YOU.....WHO ARE YOU?

We are yet to arrive at that stage or level where ethnicity will play a secondary role in our polity.  Right now every action is seen from the perspective of ethnicity.  The only we can live above ethnicity is when we begin to accommodate one another irrespective of place of origin.
