The Lynched UNIPORT FOUR
|
At times it amazes me the way we reason in Nigeria, so is the case of the killing of UNIPORT 4 as this pathetic occurrence is now labelled. Which has been turned into a political points harvest by eroding the emotional psyche of Nigerians with biting words without biting deep by our politicians and their likes and dodging the main issue.
I truly commiserate with the families of these dead students for the loss of their promising kids that ended their lives in this gruesome and painful manner, that would leave a gash in their hearts everytime they see their pictures.
A price they paid for the negligence of the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria regarding the security of the governed and the selfish attitude of our Law Makers, that believed they are doing us a favour by their election and therefore they must empty our treasury for their salaries and leave the rest to die like ants, including the Security Operatives.
What is the take home pay of the Security Operatives? What are the benefits that would accrue to their families if they should die in the line of duty? What equipments do they have to combat Crimes and Protect the Citizen and be safe while doing so?
Go to their Barracks and you'll be convinced that poverty have its roots there.
Come to think of it, why must we confine security personnel to the barracks, why can't they live amongst the people they are to protect, that would make it easier for quick response to SOS?
And we blame them for collecting BRIBES?
The main issue is, people have lost their trust in the way and manner the security operators in this Country handle response to distress calls, they have decided to cage themselves by providing 10ft high gates to the entrance of their streets and pay vigilantes to watch over them and their properties while they sleep. Taking the Bull by the Horns, you might say.
The judiciary also has failed the ordinary citizen of this country, they have compromise their noble profession by getting their robes soiled in the oil of greed and bribery. Do you know how many innocent Nigerians are in the various prisons strewn across the country, languishing for the crimes committed by the so called untouchables of our society because the judge hands are tied by his greed?
These two arms of government that are supposed to be the hope, last resort and protector of the rights of the citizens of this country have be stripped of their duties by our Lawmakers, deliberately for their own selfish protections, leaving the rest of us unprotected and susceptible to all sort of abuses by the criminals of our society.
In view of the above, who does the aggrieved turn to? How does the aggrieved, humiliated and dispossessed get justice? How does the accused prove his innocence of the accusations levelled against him or her? Too many questions without answers eh?
There is no 911, even if there is, someone must have called during this frenzied ugly performance by the perpetrators. The Police must have ignored such distress calls.
Yes O! Too many Questions to be answered by the GOVERNMENT! That is if there is a Government at all.
Where does this leave us you might ask?
Back to the JUNGLE where Dogs eat Dogs. Break my eggs and i'll remove your eyes and nothing "dey" Happen.
We have been turned into Savages, Hyenas and Vultures.
The SAVAGES are now on the prowl to kill the HYENA that steals their babies, because the LION is too overfed to RO talkless of ROAR.
This is the resultant situation from a neglected society by the so called people in power over the years.
Now i know why they dilly dally over the approval of licences to GSM Networks to operate in this country.
The case of the UNIPORT 4 has just proved that.
Though there are some negative effects, but the positive side of instant transmission and reception of happenings around us has proved to be more effective in slapping our lawmakers to wake up to their duties.
As for me I'll Hang the death of the UNIPORT 4 on Government that stood aside like the overfed LION that was asleep when the Hyenas and the Vultures were killing the BABIES of the SAVAGES.
Calling for Investigation into this gruesome killings is not enough. The Government must turn the 2 Arms of Government both the Security Authorities and the Judiciary around in order to win the trust of the SAVAGES thirst for protection and justice.
May the soul of these 4 Boys rest in perfect peace and others like them who have paid the ultimate price for this neglect, and i advocate for the declaration of a public holiday on the day they were murdered, to remember the height of Nigerian Government negligence in service to her people.
