FOR SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS, WE MURDERED HUMANITY By Haruspice You see one thing about me? I am never swerved by popular opinion. That everyone is holding on to a particular viewpoint does not make it right or true. I once watched an episode of Frank Edoho's 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire ' A question was thrown to the audience , 99% gave a particular answer but the guy on the hot seat refused to follow the audience and held obstinately to his instinct. When the result showed, everyone else was wrong, only the guy got it right! The ugly events in the last few days have shown how fragile we are with social media. With the rate we are going, this tool may be our doom as a people. So traumatized I was that I couldn't sleep on the night of the alleged lekki shooting. Almost everyone was reporting the ugly incident , this time , not as witnesses but amplifiers. It came with very acerbic venom with everyone cursing anyone with sympathy for Buhari. Time has a way of revealing the truth and in less than two days, those who started the lekki story are now recanting their stories and even apologizing for misleading the people. Unfortunately, apologies won't bring back the dead or restore properties destroyed. From the comfort of our homes, we have rendered people fatherless, motherless , childless, orphans and widows! Our refusal to be guided by instinct has caused us so much that anguish pervades the land as we are more fragmented than ever with tribes living in frightening distrust. Those gifted with the tool of influence fell for the popular demand and failed to use their influence in the interest of humanity but for its destruction. Omojuwa is recanting, Kadaria is remorseful, Linda Ikeji is helpless, Burna Boy is gritting, DJ Switch has reduced the number of deaths from 78 to 15, Mr Macoroni is confused for their refusal to verify before disseminating. Those of us who refused to tow the popular lane were branded cowards, sellout and asslickers. Today we stand clean from the blood-stained of the innocent Nigerians killed by security forces, murdered by hoodlums and the security personnel clubbed to death. Again, may we not stand in testimony of what we didn't witness. Insets are some of the traces of those who discarded emotional intelligence for ephemeral social media likes, comments, retweets and traffic. For all this, we lost our humanity.

OP. Nigerian education system has failed woefully. Logic and critical reasoning are lacking among the so called youths. They want to take control from their elders but they can't even separate emotions from reality. No common sense. No ability to pause and think. Their education taught them how to use words YET they offer no clarity. Just giberish. Some don't even understand basic logic. Not advanced logic o! Basic logic. Like if A = B and B=F then F = A. There emotion is so jacked that this simple logical argument evades them completely. Massacre by bullets without dead bodies? They say the shooters stole the body. Okay what about the blood from the massacre, did the shooters use mops and buckets of water to thoroughly wash all the blood from the massacre away? Emotionally driven generation. No sense. No clarity. Just noise. And nonsense. To them, this is tantamount to logic. 1 Like 1 Share |

ModelX: If rain had fallen, at least they would have an argument. Rain did not fall, but the multiple gallons of blood of 78 massacred people mowed down in a rain of bullets just disappeared just like that? They have to come up with a more convincing tale. |

OP you think you have sense? Has that Lekki toll ever ran out of power? Have you seen anywhere in the world military shoot in front of non violent protesters? This is a country known for intimidating its citizens. Tuface planned protest in the past and called it off, Naira Marley called for this particular protest and called it off. How then do you think people can't be intimidated to retract their story? Use this your writing skills for better things |
