Why do our people act like barbarians, as if we are trapped in the medieval period known as the Dark Ages? Here, even convicted criminals are afforded humanity and human dignity. If any of officers in a lawful society were to emulate this criminal crowd, they would face strict consequences, potentially facing charges at the state level.
Oh! How disheartening!
Today, a 'pastor' in Nigeria openly confessed in his 'church' to heinous acts—aggravated child molestation, severe sexual harassment, and aggravated infidelity. Yet, his brainwashed followers continue to cheer for this sexual predator, child molester, and master religious manipulator within what is supposed to be a lawful society. He gave his gullible congregation doses of his usual religious lamba and cooked stories; they cheered ignorantly to the celebration of their souls' defeat!
Oh! How disheartening!
Nigeria is in a dire predicament. Recently, some unscrupulous Nigerians have fueled a kind of religious genocide in a nation already collectively burdened by terrorism, while certain figures continuously bring self-curses and suffering upon themselves! They mistake the carrots and sticks and hollow promises of the controversial man for genuine love. Yet, they all cheer for criminals in Nigeria and punish innocent and law-abiding citizens. Can you believe it?
Oh! How disheartening!
Yesterday, a religious bandit and terrorist apologist denounced a legitimate US strike on ISIS affiliate camps in Northern Nigeria, yet this religious and political bigot walks the streets of Nigeria unarrested and unquestioned!
Oh! How disheartening!
Shame on all the oblivious enablers, deliberate ignorant people, and false-religious souls in Nigeria for enabling criminal activities all in the name of politics and religion! But who will rise to halt this pervasive ignorance, religious banditry and terrorism, moral decay, and humanity’s decline in our country-Nigeria?
Oh! How disheartening!
