As of today 22nd February 2014 there is news that in Ukraine, President Yanukovych has called a truce with the leaders of 'the OPPOSITION'. I cannot say i am not overjoyed with this development but yet my heart is full of sadness because of the multiple causalities that could have been avoided but because of greed and lust for power tragically occurred. The citizens of this nation have showed deep passion and love for their country's growth, development and well-being as a whole. Lets face the fact, it is very hard for anyone to leave the comfort of their home to a so called 'war front' with knowledge that at any time it could be the end of their lives. With this knowledge they still gave themselves up to fight for their country. Lets take it back home to Nigeria, with all of the problems facing our dear country, never have i seen such commitment with the citizens to eradicate the problems we face. This is a perfect example of a Nation working together to achieve a common goal/interest and even with all of the odds against them, they only get stronger. I as a person never thought it possible that Ukrainians whether civilians or the law enforcement will kill or maim themselves. Just as i was writing this, I heard people chanting right outside my gate. I went down to see and they were in hundreds just walking down the street full of life, Mothers, Fathers, Children, Youths. These are people who are deeply passionate about their country and its well being. Only after they had left i asked myself why are they still protesting if they called a truce? I got answers, the statement that was signed by Yanukovych and the leaders of the opposition was written by him and not them... by 'him' i'm referring to the man that clearly derives joy from watching his people suffer... YES!!!. I was saying he had written the statement/agreement and when they refused to sign the polish minister of foreign affairs had told them that if they did not sign the army would get involved and they will all die... SHOCKING!!! I know... and yet they still stand strong.That my friends is the definition of UNITY amongst people #PRAY FOR UKRAINE #PRAY FOR NIGERIA #GOD SAVE US ALL!!!
