Let me start by saying I don't know the law.

When i was in junior secondary school, I had this teacher that was assigned to my class. She spoke so eloquently and wouldn't condone pidgin in her class,and to uphold that standard there was a rule/law that whoever gets caught speaking pidgin in the class would pay the sum of #50.
That was the law, and offenders paid daily for it, even when they knew what it would cost them. But as time went by the number of defaulters reduced, not because they didn't want to break the law,but because they grew to fear it and couldn't afford it anymore.

The amount of rape and murder news flooding this forum everyday is astonishing and very much sickening. And then I wonder, do we even know the law? Are we not scared of the law? Do I even know the law?
Its a Shame I don't, a lot of us don't. So how will we fear what we don't know?
I know the implementation of the law in Nigeria is very weak,but if there is anyway to mitigate the uprise of this crimes,educating people about the law should be inevitable.

This isn't a remedy remember, its just my opinion.
