Blood on the Toll

Very gory images coming from Lekki Toll Gate.

An unpadonable atrocity visited on unarmed civilians for simply wishing good governance for their unborn generation.

An atrocious murder, freely given by a Nation to her Citizens for wishing their nation state well.

Saddenly carried out by State Security Forces that have for years failed to checkmate terrorist.

Afraid to take the fight and regain lost territories, they abandoned it in the hands of the enemies. Assembled at the Lekki Toll Gate with arms and ammunitions they told they had not just to take the blood of those they should protect.

Behold a Nation that would freely negotiate with terrorist than watch unarmed civilians wish her well.

A Country that betrays her heroes but honours rogues.

But this place is now Blood Gate.

You named it so the moment you tolled the blood of your citizens.

If it was called Lagos Toll Gate, it is now Lagos Blood Gate.

If Lekki Toll Gate, you have named it Lekki Blood Gate.

If owned by a citizen, then Citizens shall prefix it with his name, ...... Blood Gate!

I had prayed that this predictable nation would disappoint me on this. I had wished they would leave this unarmed citizens this time around.

Now, in your usual manner, setup your panel of (no) inquiry.

What is the crime committed by this heroes... they chose to be born in this part of the world.

This country has long drained my blood...hence my heart has no blood to bleed.

Will this Nation ever heal!
