Moral desensitization. Or perhaps a slow but pernicious acclamatisation. A bomb goes off and its all too routine, body count is low! Its 3 months since Chibok, teenage school girls are still held in the forest, now nearly all pregnant, infected, and psychologically seared. They should wait, we are still planning, a committee just finished sitting, another committee to look at the report of the other committee. Christians, 56 of them, locked inside their church and executed. Not newsworthy, teenage boys were massacred in their school a couple of months ago. Another bomb blast? Na wa! For where? How many people died? Very familiar. Slowly and collectively we are being dehumanized. We are more unfeeling, more accommodating of evil. We will pay for all of these in future. What a nation sows she shall reap.We are birthing a generation that is accustomed to mindless violence. The present is terrible, the future very bleak God please help us.
