What Is Happening?!

I was listening to a talk show on the radio this morning and there were a few issues being discussed, but the one that troubled me most was "Effurun high court sentences a 24 year old student to death by hanging for stealing mobile phone and recharge cards". There was another case of armed robbery by an okada man but his was not a death sentence. Now, the difference between the two robbers was that the student was armed with a real gun while the okada man was with a toy gun so therefore the student must be hanged.

I began to think and ask.."What of those that have been stealing billions and trillions and getting away with it?". "Did the boy shoot anybody?", "Was it a murder case?", "Did he physically harm her?", "What if the boy was the son of one of a top person in this country, would it have been the same verdict?" and I can't but wonder what really is happening in this country anymore, does this type of thing happen only in Naija?

I remember some months back, someone was sentenced to death for stealing beverages up north...JUST FOR STEALING BEVERAGES OOO!!!!!! Are human beings so cruel? I'm sure he stole it because of hunger and don't get me wrong o, I'm not saying the act of stealing is right just because one is hungry, but at least a measure of punishment should be meted out to the offender at least for the act in itself...but death? I feel that's too much if you ask me.

Those that are at the hem of affairs continue enriching their pockets with the wealth of the masses for their 10th generations to come are still walking freely and nothing is being done to them. God is soaking their cane inside kerosene o! So many atrocities are being committed and those who have connections get away with it and the unfortunate ones get slammed with "unfair" verdicts...sad. Many other stories and happenings here and there...how many can we talk about? 

I pray God orders our steps and lead us aright in all that we do because if person waka miss, police carry you say you dey waka like wanderer and na police cell you go find yourself, then dem fit talk say dem catch you dey tiff and na kirikiri person fit find himself/herself and if you no get person to come bail you, na O.Y.O you dey and that may be the end of your story. Sadly, this is the type of world we find ourselves today...God help us!

Have a blessed day ahead!
