3 Days of National Mourning, Flag Flying at Half Mast ... So, What?

I most certainly value human lives. I most definitely understand that the grieve of the bereaved is better imagined than experience. My heart still breaks, it still bleeds at the thought of beautiful lives, promising future; the dreams of fellow Nigerians (and some expatriates) that were avoidably aborted on the flight to death last Sunday. The sight of the scenes still cuts my heart so poignantly.

But forgive me if this sounds callous and inhuman to you: I done no mourning! Even though I saw several flags at half mast; in my mind, I hoist them to fly full mast like every other day. Yes! Please tell the president I rebelled in my mind.
