FRENCH WORLD UNITY MATCH, A CASE OF ANIMAL FARM CAME ALIVE?

Icheoku says Islamist terrorists have been fermenting trouble over the many years and throughout the world, from Iraq to Syria to Russia to Afghanistan to Yemen to Nigeria to Pakistan to Canada to Uganda to Kenya to Somalia to Mali to Spain to Australia to and even to the United States of America with 9/11. So many lives have been lost to their murderous attacks as well as many limbs; while properties worth billions have equally gone with the generated wind of their nefarious activities. Icheoku says not until the recent touchdown in France of their whirlwind has the world woken up in unison to scream that our way of life is under attack; and followed it up with matching millions of world citizens, who matched in solidarity and unity with the French people as a result. 

While Icheoku has nothing against this unity rally and show of solidarity with the hurting French people, Icheoku will like to ask, does it mean that it is only when French peoples lives are implicated that the world listen and pay attention to the enveloping fog of violence that is Islamic terrorism. Icheoku asks how about the thousands of Afghanistan people, thousands of Nigerians, thousands of Pakistani, thousands of Americans as well as other various number of people whose lives were cut short by these marauding beasts of Islam? Why is it that only the French lives mattered enough and in such a way that over forty heads of states and government converged with millions of other world citizens to march in solidarity with the French? Whatever happened to the saying that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander; or does the world not know that peoples of Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Kenya, Syria and even America, would have loved and appreciated a touched and loving world descending on their various capital cities to show some love and affection as a result of the scourge they are going through or went through in the hands of Islamic terrorists? 

Icheoku harps, except it is a case of all animals being equal with some being more equal than others, what took place in France would and should be reciprocated in other countries of the world that were similarly afflicted by this Islamic madness. The French life must not and should not be allowed to have more value than that life in Chibok Nigeria; ditto Waziristan Pakistan as well as Sydney Australia. These people want to similarly feel and have the sense of security that their citizens lives equally mattered to the world and not merely statistics. That hurting mother of a Chibok school girl kidnapped by these beasts of terror would have loved to see the world cheer her up by marching in Abuja in solidarity. By this everyone would have a sense of purpose belonging and being important in a one world; and the world would greatly benefit from this sense of belonging and become a better place because of it. 

Icheoku reiterates  that fairness demands that those other lives, similarly lost to the madness of these Islamists terrorists should all be engraved in the conscientiousness of the world and humanity as a whole. Like the Archbishop of Jos Nigeria Kaigama rightly articulated,"we need that spirit to be spread around, not just when it happens in Europe but also when it happens in Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon and many other poor countries of the world that we mobilize our international resources to confront the people who bring such sadness to many families." Icheoku says that this man of God held every right thinking person's brief in the matter of the French World Unity March and his narrative is highly commendable. To the French people, Icheoku shares your loss and we were there marching in tandem; and to all the other peoples of the world inundated by this arrant madness, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully, the West would wake up now to help sell arms to Nigeria to help them fight the virus of Boko Haram Islamic terrorists trying to hurt the country.
