You
must have noticed that it has gradually become a norm that we almost completely
overlook and feel very much less concerned when there is a terrorist attack or
violence that claimed the lives of innocent people especially in some
particular part of the country. For the government, all it does is to wait for
about 24/48hrs before condemning the attack just casually and mildly sympathize
with the victims or with their families and loved ones. For the people, all
they say is- “Eh yah… Na wa o…” and move on. While those on the social media
especially Twitter, continue their normal political racketeering and sides
taking and showing fewer concerns for the victims of the incidents as long as
they are not directly or indirectly a victim. Worse as it were, our media
houses only report the attack like a flash. Like- “BREAKING NEWS: Boko Haram
attacks Maiduguri”. And to me it appears like, don`t worry it`s nothing
serious, people died though but no big deal…
