Just like MI, Dbanj who is a UN Ambassador for Peace drops his own touching
piece for the ALUU 4 Victims who were brutally killed in what is seemingly
tagged as the most gruesome act in present day Nigeria... Enjoy the Koko
Master's Piece below.......
They were my brothers…and yours.
Four
days ago, I woke up to yet another unspeakable tragedy.
Four young men,
all undergraduates, brimming with great dreams, unfulfilled aspirations and a
promising future were killed. To express the depth of my pain and shock at their
murder is impossible. And understanding how events could have degenerated to
this level is truthfully beyond me.
Lloyd, Ugo, Tekana and
Chidiaka
Four promising young men whose lives were interwoven in
one way or the other with yours and mine. Please click theREAD MORE to

I mourn deeply with the families of these young men
because this is OUR collective loss. They were our colleagues, our classmates,
our neighbors, our brothers… our friends.
We are NOT a nation of
barbarians. We CAN follow due processes and procedures. We MUST fight together
as ONE NATION to ensure that Justice as a whole is served, and as a PROCESS, is
duly followed-ALWAYS.
We can only try to make meaning of this
senseless tragedy by ensuring that this WILL not happen again, by affirming that
the pursuit of justice does not in any way entitle any of us to the willful
elimination of other people’s lives and by ensuring that we, as youths, do not
destroy the honorable mantle placed on us as the future of our nation, by
eliminating our present.
Aluu 4 and Mubi 40, Rest In Perfect
Peace.
God Bless Nigeria
