As Wande Coal sang in one of his songs from the classic album Mushin 2 Mohits, “se na like dis we go de dey”? Is this how we want to continue living? In a society where there’s little or no law and order? A society that hangs a tire doused with petrol around the neck of a petty thief and sets him ablaze yet protects and celebrates the big thief? A society that ignores hard work but rewards pettiness and mediocrity? A society where the wheels of justice hardly grinds and when it does, takes forever? A society where people are more interested in recording an act of jungle justice than doing something about it? Is this the type of society we want to continue living in? Societies, great societies have never been built on injustice or the blood of the innocent; especially when they are not martyrs. Rather, they’ve been reputed to be built on the ideals of justice, hardwork, equity, respect for rule of law, sanctity of human life and collective responsibility among others.
