I too feel same way, in fact I get riled and totally dismayed when I read or watch documentaries of the sheer evil unleashed on our people by the colonialists, the evil stands abominable and condemnable till eternity. It’s both an exercise in futility and weakening of one’s spiritual and moral character.
