The problem of evil is so wide, so encompassing, and so gargantuan that it has engaged the thoughts of scholars, researchers, theologians, and ordinary men and women in all cultures and in all regions throughout the ages. And this problem has continued to grow and has grown so big, so thick that one can actually touch it. Any time and anywhere you find evil or an evil deed, you are always bound to ask ‘why should such and such happen?’ Throughout the landscape of history you are faced with hundreds of thousands, nay, millions of experiences of unexplainable acts of man’s inhumanity to man. One is compelled to wonder how any human being could ever have conceived the idea of inflicting such horrendous act of cruelty and wickedness on a fellow human being. We know what, but why should any one pick up an axe and smash the head of a wife or husband until the skull empties its contents in a pool of blood? The what is usually tied to money, fear of losing a spouse through imminent divorce, property or pursuit of power and position. But why perpetrate such great evil of taking another person’s life in cold blood; a life that once it is taken cannot be replaced? Look at transcontinental slave trade. Innocent fellow human beings were uprooted from their ancestral homes as FREE men and women and were immediately thereafter transformed into slaves with subsequent suffering, horror, trauma, indignity, deprivation, humiliation, rape and senseless murder. To imagine that such unprecedented act of evil could be allowed to last a span of 400, repeat 400 years without the evil perpetrators blinking an eye speaks volumes for the depravity of the beasts in human skin that made it happen. Just close your eyes, and imagine with your mind’s eye the picture of a man piercing the lips of another man and putting a load of heavy padlock to lock up the victim’s mouth so that the slave victim could not communicate with his fellow slave victim, in some cases, his brother or his equally enslaved children or his wife before enforced slavery. Just imagine! Imagine a slave woman being serially and regularly raped in the presence of her husband by some smelly pink skinned perverts. To imagine that perpetrators of this horrific acts of evil carried the Bible in their hands and quoted scriptures [written of course by the same evil purveyors]to justify their fiendish acts is to begin to wonder how far evil men and women can go to justify acts of inhumanity. Less than 10 years after the symbolic abolition of physical slavery economic slavery, which is worse than physical slavery and mental slavery, the enslavement of the mind took root. And that three-legged evil continues unabated till the present moment. In fact the triplet is waxing stronger by the day. Again, less than 50 years after the so-called abolition of physical slavery, a big evil perpetrator woke up on the wrong side of his bed and convinced himself that Jews were less than human and the entire race should be wiped off the surface of Europe. Innocent men and women stripped raw naked were heralded like sheep into the gas chamber to be roasted alive and burnt to ashes. How could anybody’s mind conceive of such horror? Evil. We can go on and on to itemise acts of evil that have beclouded the world. Palestinians have been living a life of living dead in the last 65 years with some of them permanently domiciled in refugee camps under the flimsy excuse that some one was born of a slave mother and another child was born by a legitimate wife. Arrant nonsense, when the historical fact is that Ibraheem/ Abraham/Braimoh/ Brimo was born in Ur in present day Iraq, which without a doubt means the Arab-Patriarch of the Jews was a full blooded Arab. But this piece is NOT about slave trade, the holocaust, the murder of 27 million Congolese by King Leopold or the plundering of wealth of India, Africa and the Middle East or the rabid enslavement of the African mind through some ill-digested archaic dogmas. These are just some of the examples of the depravity bred by evil. The big question is why is there so much evil in this world? It is a theological question as well as a psychological question. It is a philosophical question as well as a political question. It is a chemical question, the chemistry of the human brain as well as psychiatric question. Researchers must pay as much attention as they pay to Cancer Research as they should pay to Evil Research. There is so much suffering in the world. There is so much brazen injustice. There is ugly and horrifying wickedness. I am not concerned about some bogus pedestrian and utterly irrational and unscientific argument that some child born to Ben Panthera some two thousand years ago died for the sins [acts of evil]that may still be perpetrated 2000 years hence and that once you confess after killing your father and raping your mother, you are automatically for given and shall go upstairs in the clouds and eat eba and ogbono with some one in a funny utopia called Al-janna or Paradise! This kind of dogma can only fuel acts of evil. Kill, confess, repent, heaven! Sleep with your daughters. Confess, repent, heaven. Empty the nation’s treasury, confess, repent, heaven! The sad corollary, contradiction and the glaring deceit in this unimaginative dogma is that the people who brought this dogma to Africa are the most unforgiving of human race. And they exert the stiffest penalty including long term imprisonment and even death penalty on offenders. I repeat that we must all find solution to the question of evil. I am aware that the classic novel Lord of the Flies tends to suggest that evil is inherent in every human being, but also adds that the elements and environment can also be good breeding ground for evil. This is to therefore suggest that as much as evil could be embedded in human nature, it also lends itself to causative efects. Enslaved African minds that have been so permanently shut to reasoning are quick to suggest that holding on to God or prayers will be the solution and end to evil when empirical evidence on ground suggests the contrary. Burning people alive in propagation of religion, or starving flocks to death, while their pastors, imams and rabbis are feeding fat and emitting loud bang of fart and burying their heads in clouds of jet planes, is a loud affirmation of the worst evil. This writer does not have all the answers to the problematic question of evil, but the world should draw its attention to it and device ways and means of minimising it. Massive poverty, massive corruption, massive unemployment, the crass inequality in the distribution of world resources are all by-products of evil, the abuse of power, position and privilege by one man over the other. Religion, whatever it means cannot and will not end evil and evil doing because almost all religious dogmas and literatures justify the exploitation of one man by another and the ascendancy master-servant relationship in human affairs. We have to look in other direction if mankind is to deal a decisive blow on evil or look on until evil consumes the earth. |

No fewer than 15 persons were killed yesterday in Oji- River Local Government Area of Enugu State when a trailer laden with cement lost control and crashed into a market located along the old Enugu/ Onitsha Road. An eye witness told Sunday Sun that the trailer was descending a hill when the driver lost control. The trailer consequently found its way into the market known as Wonderful Market Oji River, crushing the victims and destroying property including vehicles in the process. Chairman of the market, Chief Augustine Mba, it was gathered, lost one of his sons who was said to be an undergraduate of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, in the accident. A trader identified simply as Ikechukwu who dealt in building materials was among the victims of the accident. A Toyota Sienna spacewagon was crushed by the trailer and its occupants killed. Their identities are yet to be established. The Police Public Relations Officer, Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the accident. He disclosed that the command had so far evacuated 15 dead bodies, adding that the mishap occurred when the driver of a truck lost control of the vehicle. Amaraizu added that the truck ran into a Toyota Sienna spacewagon that was conveying people to different destinations. He said the driver of the truck had been arrested, adding that the command had commenced investigation into the tragic incident. “No fewer than I5 corpses were recovered while driver and conductor of the truck have been arrested,” he stated.

You should not expect to be happy every day of your life. You should actually not expect to be happy all the time. It is both foolish and idealistic to expect that you would not have sad days. People should brace up for the fact of life that most times they will be unhappy, or to put it mildly, they will be dissatisfied with many things happening to them or happening around them. And this is not talking about the cliché ‘life is not a bed of roses’. This piece is not about bed or about roses. It is not about the reality that one faces in life of obstacles. Obstacles may not necessarily make you unhappy. Difficulties in life may not necessarily make you unhappy. One is more likely to be made unhappy by events rather than situation in life. That you find it difficult to pay your school fees may not make you unhappy the way failing an examination you believed you worked hard for would. Every day of our lives we stumble on events that inflict pain and sadness on us. Most of such events may not be our own making. But they happen nonetheless and make us very unhappy and sorrowful. Happiness is one of Nature’s most priceless psychological gifts. It is so great that it cannot be purchased. No amount of money can buy happiness. A row of houses in Abuja or Lagos or Dubai, plus the world’s most exotic cars cannot give you happiness. Yes you can have joy or joyful moment at the sight of your first baby delivered in the hospital. You may also have joy if after 15 years of anxious expectations you are blessed with the fruit of the womb. Happiness will only come if the child turns out to be a brilliant, hardworking, serious minded and drug free man or woman that has passed through adolescence and has continued to give you joy along the way. Happiness is a state of mind. It is not a fleeting feeling. And however much a man may try to make himself happy by acquiring gadgets and going on cruise to most sophisticated islands, he may not find happiness. He may still visit these places and carry his exotic gadgets and still find happiness out of his reach. The rich also cries. What all this boils down to is that you cannot manufacture happiness. And as I have often argued in the case of prayer, not every prayer is answered. It is not every wish that is fulfilled. If all prayers were answered there would be no single destitute on the surface of the earth. If all prayers were answered there would be no barrenness. There would be no poverty and there would be no failures. The world would simply be a Utopia. But certainly not all prayers are answered. It is in this light that no one should expect to be happy all the time. Nobody should expect to be happy every day. If one cultivates that attitude that happiness is not theirs like a daily meal, there would be sanity. There would be less dependency on fortunes and luck. Expectations which can occasionally drive people mad would be minimal. If you limit your expectations, your disappointments will be lim ited. Are Nigerians happy? Some experts did say that Nigerians are the happiest people on the globe. They may have been correct based on the finding that with the myriads of problems, deprivations and disappointments to which most Nigerians are subjected, the Nigerian animals still party and feel generally jocund and merry. This may perhaps be due in part to the realisation by an average Nigerian that there is nothing to expect from their self- imposed rulers. Having expected so much over the years and having got nothing to show for their expectations, Nigerians have learnt to conquer sadness and sorrow. Their sensibilities and sensitivities have grown numb. Hence rather than feel unhappy and frustrated, they have learnt to cope beautifully with their sorry plight. It must be said though that in personal issues, happiness is the most preferred determinant of relationships and their workability and sustainability. In marriage for instance, the staying elixir is happiness. Whatever one gets from marriage or a relationship, if one is not happy, the relationship will collapse. It is little wonder that most times when you find a couple that you consider odd, you wonder what on earth could have joined the duo together. The truth of course is that the two parties find happiness in their union. A piece of happiness that may not be recognisable by a casual observer may be the strong link biding the seemingly odd couple together. And I do counsel that if a man or woman is not happy in a relationship he or she should call it quits. Happiness is so germane to healthy living. In fact nothing kills faster than unhappiness. It simply does not make sense that a man should remain in a relationship where his three meals each day are heavy doses of unhappiness. And this applies to a woman too. If a woman is perpetually unhappy with her spouse, her best option is to quit. But this statement does not contradict the opening thought that one should not expect to be happy every day. By saying that one should not expect happiness every day, it does not follow that one should endure unhappiness in a relationship in perpetuity. That one should not expect happiness every day is to arm one with the reality of life that you simply do not find happiness every day, and because you do not find happiness every day should not drive you to suicide. This does not however imply that you sentence yourself to a life of sorrow in a marriage that does not guarantee you a day of peace and quiet. The first thought of not expecting happiness every day is to admonish against a Utopia expectation, and that applies generally. And to also say that one should not go through a life of perennial sadness is to admonish against going into a relationship where you know, with your eyes open that you can never find happiness. Marrying beneath one’s so cial class, marrying a pathological bully or pathological liar, or marrying a serial gambler and heavy drinker or marrying some one with strange and weird world views that are diametrically opposed to yours are all sure indices of a doomed relationship. And any one who desires happiness in his or her private life must watch out for these undesirables. By and large, one should balance life and living in a general setting, and the expectations that go with societal norms with life and living in a private setting like husband and wife. In all, one should constantly remind himself or herself that there is no permanent state of happiness even though happiness is the ultimate goal. And on no account and under no circumstance should any one allow an outsider to decide one’s happiness. As I said in one of my created quotes, ‘do not submit your happiness to the whims and caprices of others’. If you like what you wear, and subject to decorum and decency, let nobody dictate to you what your fashion sense should be. If you are happy with yourself, and you do not constitute a nuisance to others, so be it. Always be yourself, be true to your self, and expect less from the world. Therein lays your happiness.

Gunmen have abducted a journalist, Mr. Ugochukwu Ugorji-Eke, the Umuahia correspondent of The Nation Newspapers. The incident occurred at about 7:30p.m. on Sunday while the journalist was returning to his house in his car. It was gathered that Mr. Eke had earlier in the day gone to visit some family members, but as he was returning home, unknown to him, the gunmen had laid in wait in front of his house behind Toengine Crescent off Ovom Road, Ogbor Hill, Aba. As he approached the front gate of his house, the hoodlums were said to have forced him out of his car at gunpoint and ordered him into their own waiting car. An eyewitness said after the gunmen had forced their victim into their car, they whisked him away to an unknown destination, abandoning his car in front of his gate. The kidnappers were said to have contacted family members of their victim and demanded a ransom of N20 million. Source;www.sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=91414 |

If we were in a country where honour still counts, Air Marshall Alex Badeh, Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, would have long handed over his letter of resignation to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. If he didn’t do that, a commander-in-chief with his hands on the job or a strong resolve to take on head long the goons, making life hell for the citizenry, would have done one thing: Shown Badeh the exit door. If he won’t do that, a responsive National Assembly would have summoned, not just the service chiefs, as it has done, but also the commander-in-chief himself, to explain why life has become this cheap in our country? And why, despite the huge defence budgets, Boko Haram appears to be having the upper hand? The Assembly would have demanded the immediate sack of the defence and service chiefs. And if the president can’t guarantee safety of lives and property, he should have no business, calling himself ‘commander-in-chief.’ A commander-in-chief with heavy casualty figures in peace or wartime should be deeply worried and embarrassed. For goodness sake, this is Africa’s most powerful nation. This is Africa’s largest and best-trained armed forces, that have acquitted itself in several peacekeeping missions across the world. Is it enough to simply say, ‘guerrilla fight is different from conventional warfare’ and watch hundreds of our compatriots being slain daily by insurgents? Is it enough to just sit by and watch parts of our country being annexed by insurgents and all we offer are rationalisations and condolence messages by those whose business it is to protect the citizenry? But, again this is Nigeria. A nation of ‘anything goes’, to borrow the words of a former army chief, Gen. Salihu Ibrahim. So, the politicians who ought to lead us out of our insecurity nightmare, are preoccupied with plotting their next political moves and campaigning for the next big offices. Everyone is talking 2015, with a few actually bothered about Chibok girls. Not many are bothered that fellow citizens, their compatriots, are being slaughtered like chickens, goats and rams in other parts of the country. What a country! It is not only Badeh that shouldn’t be sitting pretty in office: The army chief, General Minimah and his counterparts in other arms of the military as well as the defence minister, General Aliyu Gusau, should have no business, bearing their official titles or earning salaries from the public coffers. Badeh and the other men, manning our defence apparatchik, should go, for one simple reason: Inability to protect and defend Nigerians from terrorist attacks and the rampaging Boko Haram sect. If a man or group of men, are so paid to defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria, and under their watch, hundreds of citizens are maimed, bloodied and butchered by a bunch of insur gents, of what use are they to the public that picks their bill? Of what use is a defence minister or defence chief, who can’t defend us? Who can’t rally troops to deal decisively with the brutal enemies? Of what use are mountains of excuses or condolence messages to a dead man or his grieving family? Under the watch of Badeh and others, Boko Haram has kept annexing more of our cities and towns in the North- east, hoisting their flags and declaring their republic, within our republic. Citizens in Adamawa, Yobe and other parts of the North-east are living in fear, not knowing when the goons from hell or wherever, will strike; and definitely not sure that they have a military that can protect them. How can the people have confidence in their military, when even Badeh’s hometown of Vimtim, in Adamawa, was also sacked by the insurgents? How can anyone have confidence in a defence chief unable to defend even his homestead? After Chibok girls were abducted from their school, another set of 49 secondary school boys were ambushed and slaughtered in a Yobe secondary school. These are indeed terrible and embarrassing moments for our people and nation. That it took a group of rag-tag local hunters to liberate Mubi from Boko Haram, tells how terribly embarrassing the situation has got to. And we all ought to be gravely concerned about this anomalous state of affairs. When he came into power January 16, 2014, following the sack of the service chiefs by President Jonathan, Badeh was beaming with broad smiles and gusto. He promised to rout Boko Haram within four months, that is by April 2014. This is November, and what do we have: A reverse of what Badeh promised us. Since his assumption of office, Boko Haram has become even more deadly and brutal. They captured over 200 school girls from their hostel in Chibok, on April 14, 2014, the same month Badeh promised Boko Haram would be history. Their calendar of blood shows that they are maintaining significant control of many parts of North-east. It is apparent Badeh has no answer to the insurgents firepower. He gleefully announced on October 5, 2014, a ceasefire with the sect. He should have known that terrorist groups have no respect for a ceasefire that they didn’t ask for. Terrorists have to beg for ceasefire, not their victims, pleading for one. Emboldened by a weakly- negotiated ceasefire, Boko Haram unleashed further havoc and terror on Nigerians in the North-east, hitting Yobe school, annexing Adamawa towns of Mubi and Michika. Something definitely has to be wrong with Badeh’s strategies, which have led to a blundering battle strategy by our soldiers. Of course, I am angry, as I write this piece this Sunday afternoon, reading the news of the capture of Hong, another major city in Adamawa by Boko Haram. The news said the group took control of the city, burnt down the local police post and killed several residents of the town and its environ. It had earlier attacked two villages in Hong Local Government Area, before storming Hong main city. Another news item I read on Saturday, which further devastated me, was one that reported how our brave soldiers fought gallantly in Mubi but were soon overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the insurgents. In most of the reports, the story is the same: Soldiers capitulating before the superior firepower of insurgents. Soldiers fleeing battlefront because they are either ill- equipped or ill-motivated to confront the deadly guys. We don’t know if this is true or not, as the military high command has dispelled such news as rumour. But, if this is not the correct position, why are we then losing more territories to insurgents? Why are our citizens being killed by the day? Something definitely is wrong somewhere. Something definitely has to be done. Now! I can hear someone ask if the sack of Badeh and the service chiefs is the solution to the problem? It is definitely a big part of the solution. Leadership is everything. We have to keep sacking until we get the right men, who will give us the right results! If money meant for equipment is going the wrong way, a probe is urgently required. If competence is the issue, let’s get more competent hands to do the job. In the past, we were told that once a Gen. Gusau or a Col. Dasuki, got in the saddle, Boko Haram would fizzle out in no time. The men have been there for quite a while now, nothing has changed. Isn’t it time, we audited our men and materials for optimum results? There is also the urgent need for a national security summit. Where are all the retired generals, who fought in ECOMOG? The men who clobbered Charles Taylor, Yommie Johnson, and their rag-tag guerrilla army in Monrovia to submission? Where are our war veterans, those with little tricks to surmount these insurgents? Let’s get them talking and involved. I hope Mr. President is reading? As I have noted severally on this page, if what we are witnessing in the Boko Haram insurgency is politics, this is politics taken too far. If it is about 2015, this must be the most devious way to get or retain power. Those being killed are neither politicians nor office seekers. They are our brothers and sisters; poor, hapless Nigerians, going about their legitimate means of livelihood, which is even a mirage for many. Death was far from their minds at the break of dawn, only to get snuffed out at dusk. Truly, life is a contradiction! Source;www.sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=91327 |
