BOKO

The idea of university as we have it today is an Islamic concept. The West borrowed its leaf and liberalized its scope. This opened up great diversities of space and ideologies. Universities greatly improved the quality of our lives and have succeeded in conquering a great swarm of evils which plagued our planet. Through this form of education, man is civilized, war is reduced, sicknesses are cured and poverty eradicated in many parts of the world. But, also, through its diversity, man tends to lose the scope of the few things that are necessary and he worries and frets over thousands of unnecessary things brought about by Boko. It is as if man, through his actions, is not yet ready for an authentic freedom. Out of the influence of Boko has come a great swarm of immoral cultures , consumerism and a general loss-or at best-dwindling of faith. The Boko issue is synonymous to the crossing of the Red Sea. We cannot afford to stay behind. If we wait, forces of Pharaoh would catch up on us, if we enter through without trusting in God, we shall be consumed by its torrents , but when we pass through with great confidence in God, we shall of necessity become liberated, and a new life, a great freedom hitherto unknown shall be made manifest; in spite of the cons of Boko, we shall come out renewed and unscathed and our faith which we were apprehensive about shall soar unto new heights, great levels and brighter freedom; unscathed and unharmed, so shall we be. We cannot afford to stay behind. Boko is a force of God. We shall go, trusting in Him and we shall emerge at the other end, fully renewed and praising the Lord as we journey towards freedom through our leap of faith!
