MalcoImX:
You're advocating situational ethics, which is not good enough. Those who are selective in their treatment of events must have their motives questioned, and that's what is being done. You can't give what you don't have. What are your antecedents? What is your credibility? It's hard to question Oby or Falana, if they're the ones at the vanguard of this.
.
As for what you call jungle justice - I can't condemn the state. It has the right to disrupt, arrest and even prosecute those it sees as breaching the peace. I am not condemning CB either. It's his motive that's not clear to me. You say Return r Resign: Return against medical advice and if it's Resigning on what basis? On what authority are you and CB basing your arguments. Is it legal (constitutional), medical or on sentiments?

How is situational ethics wrong in a democracy? Isn't Democracy about the legal correctness of issues?

And as the police said, CB is overdramatic. He acted for the camera. He's doing it for political correctness and all is for show up.

Who carries about Charly Boy? Like Dokubo said, he's a mumu. He's there dismissing IPOB and wants to be there fighting for Nigeria. The Nigeria he's fighting for just woosa him and now what?

So is being overdramatic undemocratic and deserving of Jungle Justice?

Don't hinge all your hopes on democracy or it becomes your god. In The Republic, Plato outlined those who are qualified for leadership. They are what he called philosopher kings or aspiring philosophers. A leader must PHILOSOPHIZE. So, the first and most important prerequisite is wisdom, to be wise, and that does not include playing to the gallery or being overdramatic. It is foolishness, a facade, a simulation with a motive to deceive. It is unbecoming of a leader, whose main accessory is thinking. What we're having as a democracy these days is a caricature of the real. It is bestial, pedestrian and emotional. It is poverty of philosophy (wisdom) when you have unprincipled vagabond misleading the people in the name of democracy. How can the cross dressing, punk looking CB be an advocate of democracy as Plato defined it. Mind you, you were lacing your arguments with morality. I'll never be an advocate of leadership of waywards - gays, drug addicts, kidnappers, and the criminally minded, as is happening in America, where you have a male governor married to a male partner.

Plato? The Republic? Are you sure you are not misrepresenting what that book talked about? The Republic was hundred percent against Democracy. Let me shock you. What Socrates proposed in the Republic was wrong–Monarchical Fascism. That's off this discussion.

You are missing the point. Ours is a democracy and as along as it is, what is legally binding is what is sound. If we are to go by those morals about Philosopher-King you are trying to switch to, the first question will be if your current President with all his poor utterances and actions qualifies as one. Then even your moral prism is called to question.

The Republic was by Plato even though it is represented as a Socratic dialogue. Ultimately, Socrates' criticism of Athenian democracy is a confirmation of our stand that people like CB do not qualify for leadership in a democracy, the conclusion of the dialogue being that a "just city has
philosophers as rulers"
.
Buhari's ability for truthfulness and philosophic mien has been his only asset with the masses. You won't catch him giving out inducements for him to be elected. He was despised by those who don't look beyond their nose even in the first outing, but the people who seek the truth always come to the realization that he has their interests as paramount. For that reason, his leadership is principled, enduring and not like the one of situational ethicists, the ones Socrates condemned as Athenian 'democrats.' Just ask yourself why Buhari's support base is always with him, unlike GEJ, wh complained of being abandoned and on the other hand his group are complaining of being abandoned by him.

Lol. You mention Buhari and Philosophy and Truthfulness? What is Philosophy? Smh. I won't be tempted to shift the direction of this post. The question you have refused to answer, are the men who tried lynching Charly Boy right in their agitation? Simple. Is it wrong to do that in a democracy? Don't soil your answer with words like 'it is wrong but...'

Are we even sure it is lynching when the man is being accused of over-dramatization. Those groups at Wuse are accusing CB of what's he's accusing them of - that he was there to disrupt businesses and cause trouble, to cause the maiming and death of innocent people. They are right to have pursued him out of that precinct.

They are right to have attempted to lynch him? Wow! Is this the right thing in a democracy?

Usually, I'd have left you alone but this is my thread.

You created a thread with all the arguments on 'Why they tried to lynch CB,' so any opinion not in alignment with yours won't be acceptable to you. You can't put anything into my mouth. Charly Boy went to a MARKET for God's sake, thinking he'd get a crowd to his side. Now that he got a different response, why won't he just take his bitter medicine, go home and ask himself questions as a 'democrat.'

Okay. I already established a point for the innocent minds that will read this.
