Love, as God’s created phenomenon, is the most important connection that could make the world the best place for human existence. The purposes of love to humanity are many and with its many sides and flexibility, it could be a tool for several situations. Love, if humanity wants it in its pristine form, is the only nucleus that could kill capitalism, eliminate racial supremacy, extinct same-race oppression, erase legal domination, abolish xenophobia, and end repressive sharing of natural resources.

No matter what any social commentator says, his/her standpoint must fit into at least one of the three. Even those who claim neutrality in public or/and political discourses hardly realise that their remarks do fit into one of the three aforementioned identities. From 2014 to 2015, Lai Mohammed, as the spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) – a political party in Nigeria – vigorously applied one of the three during all his media addresses and descriptions of the presidential administration of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Lai Mohammed Despite the intensity of Lai Mohammed’s condemnation of Goodluck Jonathan before the 2015 presidential election, it was hardly reported that the then national secretary of APC was detained or arrested or his phones were bugged. There was no report that Lai Mohammed’s wife or his family members were detained by the police ...
