There is hardly a week that we don't get report on Ritual killing.

It looks like almost every Nigerian youth wants to leave the life they see on Instagram.

Some want to leave that life at all cost.

Just as there is hardly a minute that celebrities don't display wealth on their pages, there is hardly a day we don't get news of ritual killings.

So, I talked to few people if what young people see on Instagram is responsible for the quest for fast richies, some agreed that Instagram is playing huge negative role in pushing some people into doing the wrong things.

And some said NO, every wealthy person can flunt their wealth as they like cos they worked for it .

Your opinion.
It contributes without doubt. Internet and social media is one big reason why morals have gone down. Somethings that one before now may not be able to see in a lifetime is everywhere now on the net. Some before now, wouldn't really know how sex happens but it's nothing now online.
This is the reality of things. We must react appropriately though and develop an education system that counters this bad exposure.
The humans mind react to things dumped in it.
The bible warned against showy display of ones source of livelihood as part of the things to be wary about. My God! The bible is so complete.

we may say our problem is the social media, Nollywood,bad parenting, corrupt politicians, dubious and fraudulent pastors,yeyebrities and so on. But the real problem is us as an individual, the will to make riches and wealth is always on our hands. The medium through which will make the money is of our own decisions. So let us stop complaining about others and focus on ourselves. Just know this when you make your own money others will say the same stuff about you.

I don't know what's wrong with these youths....
Lazy mofo school they won't go hand work they won't learn...
They just want money to fall from heaven so they can lavish....
I always tell people if you work really hard for your money you won't lavish it on shitty things...

Nigeria constitution and laws are very weak and almost obsolete. If the penalty for such a huge crime is amputation of the two hands, I think the crime rate would have reduce drastically.
They will tagged you as someone who wants to force Sharia law on Nigerians

It's a cultural thing. A lot of people from that particular region worship money and they use it to oppress each other. Billions of people worldwide are exposed to lavish lifestyles on social media. The people from the region of Skull Miners are not the first set of people exposed to lavish lifestyles online.

The media isnt helping either...imagine youths listening to "Ose to leran....Zazou". What type of soap has meat inside? Portable is proudly advertising himself as a ritualist who uses voodoo soap infused with human flesh hence his success but nobody cares coz all na Zazou!!!
Do you know I never Picked any meaniful sentence from all what he said through out his lyrics. But seems many people getrit.... But if you look at the beginning of the music/video, there's always a disclaimer. This means you're solemnly responsible for how you interprete the music or what you do with the info.

This means going by law or media or a country, they can't stop producer from creating such music. It boils down from grass root to top..

Solution: massive education and sensitization should be promoted more/free by media. Instead, they should promote legit this on what brings wealth. If they can check this. Demand for such musics will reduce, meaning no demand, no supply.

Thanks.

The deteriorating economy with the persistent inflation is the cause of ritual killings
Re: Could This Be The Reason For The High Rate Of Ritual Killings In The Country? by solofresh(m): 11:52am On Jan 31, 2022
Well I think all still points down to high rate of poverty in the country.If the economy is actually good, you won't see this young children involving in this crime because they would definitely be in school by now or learning a skill.
The funniest thing is that some of these young youths are the ones feeding their parents I.e they are the bread winner of their family.So tell me how a parent want to caution that child and he or she would listen.Some of these parents cannot even feed their child talkless of sending them to school.So this children grow out of hand and can't be cautioned and also influenced by social media.
If the economy is good, this shits won't be happening

It has little to do with Instagram.

The youths see criminals walk away free. Thus there are no deterrents to crime. Why won't they engage in criminal activities when the society has shown that a suspect can always procure freedom? Now the motto is: Money answereth all things. Nigerians rationalize crime if enough money is involved. All you need is to tag a criminal as a philanthropist in Nigeria and all his or her crimes are excused. Mad people everywhere! cool

Totilopussylick:

Flaunting of wealth online by individuals with evidence cannot attract punishment whatsoever.

Our youths of nowadays are just desperate out of selfishness.

It will get to a stage where government will want to ban social medias and leave only Instant Messaging Apps.
Even musical videos where celebrities shows half naked ladies would be banned as well cux those are the things young lads see and wishes for that kind of lifestyle.

I believe, nobody can influence anyone to do evil.
The problem has to do with parents who shatters their responsibility of training up their children.
It also has to do with individual mindset.
As human beings, we have the power to resist evil thoughts.
Mostly, it's disillusioned and lazy people who believe in ritual things

Your opinion.
genuine wealth comes with sacrifices that there won't be much time to flunt it.

People who flunt wealth usually fall within these groups:

* Those who actually inherited large wealth from parents young.

* Criminals, Yahoo boys, local 419-ners

* Scammers and chameleons with no actual wealth.

You made a very good point. Kudos bro


But you need to understand this parent Also knew about their financial predicament before they start breeding. if they have to wait for years to make this money. they'll only end up in the same position and probably too old then to start having children and taking good care of them. Firstly. The county should be blame for this. They should provide a good paying job for the community and also the parent shouldn't breed a lot of children. Breed the amount you know you can cater for. To me three kids is okay. That's even my target in life. If God can give me three kids. I will be fine with that
