We write and our words could be piercing. I had one yesterday against one of our European friends here. He threw the first verbal attack – and I responded to defend Africa, by chronicling European history. You cannot believe it – I learnt more about Europe in my Geography (yes, Goh Cheng Leong’s Physical & Human Geography) and History classes in secondary school than even Africa! But as I was sleeping, he edited his comment.
Later, LinkedIn wrote that it did not appreciate my comment, hiding “deleted” it. (If it had not hidden it, I would have updated it to align with the updated comment from the member.)
Europe is in pain; let’s show support. Yes, we have to modulate because people are expectedly emotional. When bad things happen, you will realize that we’re ALL humans. There is no civilized human or non-civilized human; environments define most ways we act.

I pray for peace but also remind everyone that the Igbo Nation has a proverb: do not wake a sleeping leopard. There is a reason for that; if the leopard wakes up, you lose your right in the forest! Every continent has a challenging history and no one should insult Africa and Nigeria without remembering that we’re a people also.
