It appears since 9/11, efforts have been concentrated on the fight against terrorism and other threats to national and international security to the detriment of person safety.

Mankind cannot effectively measure the power of words, be they spoken or written. Word is peace, word is war. It is nothing, but words that cause war, and it is words that bring about peace in the human community. Words, depending on how they are used can either be forces for good or evil. If negatively spoken, they destroy, and if positively spoken, they build.
Words create. It is with the sheer force of creative words that God created the world. Words also depress, demoralise, demolish, etc. So also, they heal and inspire.

And challenging his country men and women, young and old, he said confidently: “Fellow Nigerians, if I could make it,
You too can make it!”
