Remember, emotional people are usually unreasonable when they analyze serious issues

On matters you don't have 100% control over the reactions or consequences of your actions it pays to see beyond the obvious, step back a bit and look at the issues without prejudices, biases, sentiments and emotions, choose facts, logic and common sense over propaganda or pre determined mindsets and stereotypes.

Remember, emotional people are usually unreasonable when they analyze serious issues.

From deportation we went to ownership of Lagos and demand for Fashola to apologize, then we took a trip to Fani Kayode's hate filled blog targeted at the Igbos including the list of Igbo women he had intimate relationships with, then blog talking about Fani Kayode's wives and daughters and who have slept with them, now it is Oby Ezekwesili stinking according a twitter exchange with the same Fani Kayode.

An Igbo proverbs says - what an old man sees while sitting down cannot be seen be a child that even climbs a tree.

Another one says - better start looking for a black goat on time and during the day before nightfall. Well, functional streetlights no support dis one sha.

Your ability to see beyond the obvious determines whether or not you will keep making mistakes or committing blunders from one step to another.

This is still early. We can retrace our steps and do away with all these tribal/ethnic superiority and supremacy battles.

Focusing on the real issue concerning 'deportation' would have ensured that all these things wouldn't have happened.

We should learn to use our heads more than we use our hearts.

My prayer remains - may we find whatever we seek whether war or peace, love or hate, friends or enemies, bitterness or sweetness, justice or injustice. Please say amen if you really believe in God and you believe you are sincere and honest in your analysis of these issues that have kept us busy the past 2 weeks even as our politicians out there continue to milk us dry in unity regardless of their tribes and/or religions.
