Thankfully under President Goodluck Jonathan the Igbo managed to do better than at any other time in our history. As a matter of fact this was so much the case that Nigerians from other parts of the country, particularly the Yoruba and the Hausa-Fulani, often sulked about it and openly complained.

Jonathan had a soft spot for the Igbo and I have little doubt that that partiality was borne out of his innate sensitivity to their historical trials and tribulations. It may have been sub-conscious but I have no doubt that it was there.

Unlike others he viewed the Igbo as equals and regarded them as human beings: he treated them with respect and decorum and he gave them their due. Consequently it was under Jonathan that Lt. General Azubuike Ihejirika the first Igbo Chief of Army Staff since the civil war was appointed. It was also under Jonathan that Senator Pius Anyim, the first Igbo Secretary to the Federal Government of Nigeria since independence was appointed.As far as I am aware not one Fulani militant or herdsman was questioned over this incident let alone disarmed, caitioned or arrested. As unbelievable as it may appear this patterm of behaviour by the security agencies has been the norm throughout the Middle Belt and the south since President Buhari has come to power.

They have displayed great reluctance to protect the indigenous people and farmers of those two regions from the pillaging, killing and raping that the Fulani herdsmen always subject them to. It is also instructive to note that the political leaders of the igbo nation appear to have been so intimidated by this trend of events that none of them has spoken out against the abduction of the Enugu farmers or condemned the barbarous action of the Fulani herdsmen that raided their farms.

Depression doesn’t just happen; it is an accumulation of stifled expressions. Depression is simply an expression struggling and crying to be heard. Depression has been called the world’s number one public health problem. The alarming rate of suicide, suicidal attempts and suicidal tendencies is both disturbing and pathetic. The horrific suicide video of a 12-year old girl has been going viral for some few weeks now. Katelyn Nicole Davis, of Cedartown Georgia, streamed herself live on Facebook on December 30, saying that she had been sexually abused by a family member. Sometimes, I keep pondering what it feels like to reach a point in life when death seems inviting than life itself!

In my counseling sessions at helping people overcome depression, I have been able to glean timeless and priceless truth that will help us with a deeper understanding of some “causes and effects” that borders on depression. There are several things that we do, most times unknowingly, to hinder expression and this singular act has led many into unrecoverable bouts of depression. I will be shedding more light on the most elusive sickness in the medical world.

GIFTS, TALENTS AND POTENTIALS: Leo Buscaglia said, “Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God”.
Many times, recurring depression is as a result of latent gifts and potentials that are seriously crying for expression. In my counseling sessions with youths, I normally tell them not to allow their education hinder the expression of their gifts and talents. In fact, the authentic purpose of education is to give us a platform to express our gifts, potentials and talents. I advise youths to find platforms to express their talents and gifts.
