A female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto has been reportedly beaten and burnt to death for 'religious blasphemy.' Video is gory and horrible.

You hear news like this, and remember that this country's issues are bigger than our economic woes. Even if we solve the economic problems, we as a people are fundermentally different. Deep religious and ethnic differences that have not improved over the years, rather the chasm has grown wider. There is no individual 'unifier' that can bridge this gap.

I have been a broadcaster for 10 years and in those ten years, I have grown to love what I do and who I have become while doing it.

Seven of those years have been spent with @NigeriaInfoFM and it's been an amazing journey. (thread) As much as I love my @NigeriainfoFM family, it's time I move forward and take on more challenges professionally. I've always loved to stretch myself because I believe every ability and talent God has given me should be grown and used.

The thing about this job, it feels like anybody can do it. Truth is, anybody can attempt it. But to really do it & excel at it, you not only get properly trained for it, you have to GROW into it. There are things LIFE has to teach you. Those lessons make you a matured broadcaster I absolutely support young people trusted with platforms and thrust into the limelight. It's great for the future of the industry.

But with a huge platform comes a huge responsibility. Hubris has no place here.

The danger is when that platform stops them from learning.
