Healing the Wounds of Division: A Message of Love and Unity to Kemi Badenoch and All Nigerians

While it is true that Nigeria faces many challenges, including the scourge of Boko Haram and other extremist groups, it is not accurate or fair to label an entire region of the country as a "Boko Haram region." Such language is not only hurtful, but it also perpetuates negative stereotypes and reinforces divisions within our society.

As a people, we must recognize that we are all in this together. We are all Nigerians, regardless of our region, ethnicity, or religion. We must work to build bridges, not walls. We must strive to understand and appreciate our differences, rather than letting them divide us.

I am reminded of the words of my dear friend, Nelson Mandela, who said, "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

Let us choose love, my friends. Let us choose to see the humanity in one another, rather than letting our differences divide us. Let us work together to build a brighter future for all Nigerians, regardless of our region or background.

And to Kemi Badenoch, I say, let us show you love, not anger. Let us show you that we are a people who can forgive and move forward. Remember, my dear sister, that you are a part of our global community, and that we are all connected. Let us work together to build a world that is more just, more equitable, and more loving for all.

Fellow Nigerians, I want to emphasize that our response to Kemi Badenoch's statements should not be one of anger or division. Rather, we should seek to educate and enlighten her, and to show her the beauty and diversity of our great nation.

We should remember that Kemi Badenoch is a product of our global community, and that she has been shaped by her experiences and perspectives. We should seek to understand where she is coming from, and to share with her our own experiences and perspectives.

As I always say, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Let us choose to respond to Kemi Badenoch's statements with love, rather than hate. Let us choose to educate, rather than to escalate.

And to my fellow Nigerians, I say, let us not be too quick to take offense. Let us not be too quick to assume the worst about others. Rather, let us seek to understand, and to find common ground.

As we move forward, let us remember that we are all in this together. Let us remember that we are all Nigerians, regardless of our region or background. And let us work together to build a brighter future for our great nation.

In the words of our national anthem, "O God of all creation,  Grant this our one request.  Help us to build a nation, Where no man is oppressed,  And so with peace and plenty,  Nigeria may be blessed." Let us arise, my friends, and let us work together to build a Nigeria that is just, equitable, and loving for all.
