This may sound like an overstretched lamentation. The killing of an innocent lady who after a full day hardwork diligently sought out a government transport line BRT supposedly secured for a trip to her abode for a well deserved rest. What did she get? Slaughtered by some animals in human uniform for probably money ritual. How did Nigeria get to this point? How did Lagos state graduate to this degree? Is it far from the instances below? 1. An artisan that could not make any meaningful contribution to society and self becomes stupendously rich in three months after becoming a councillor. 2. A look at the constituency offices of members of state and national assembly where nothing but pride and arrogance are displayed. Do we talk about their vehicles and homes where opulence are demonstrated as the normal lifestyle. 3. What about people who never had thriving businesses and became richer than the states they governed with its attendant demonic display of wealth and power? Are we forgetting that these are the so called leaders of the society that shape the views and ambitions of the youth and upstarts? These young ones have seen how the above mentioned examples after raping and looting the society are surrounded with and by state security apparatus. And we think these young ones will not draw on the lower hanging apples for their own perceived ride to opulence. Are we not jokers? Not until the above cited instances are dealt with will Lagos state and Nigeria be on the required path towards moral emancipation.
