Is the LAW a joke to you?
Today, like many other days, a host of Nigerians are made to rethink the possibilities of ever becoming something in this country.
It has been too hard on Nigeria’s citizens for the longest time. We need a break, honestly. The level of obvious and continuous degradation Nigeria is in has, once again, come to shove its ugly head in our faces.
Nigerians do not even ask for too much. They ask for the bare minimum; “don’t kill us”, “let us work”, “give us good roads”, “let’s have stable electricity” etc.
Imagine being a lawyer in a lawless country. Your relevance will always be called to question. Why is there a constitution if it is not going to be adhered to?
From the Nigerian Constitution:
Section 39 (2): … every person shall be entitled to own, establish and operate any medium for the dissemination of information, ideas and opinions…
This section of the constitution is for every citizen’s freedom of expression and the press. A provision for everyone in Nigeria to be able to use any platform for expressing themselves according to the DEMOCRATIC rule.
To think a SAN of a ‘democratic’ country…
I mean, you’d look and the constitution in your hands and raise your head to look at the contrast in its nation, puzzled with these thoughts: “how do these two relate to each other? Which one is the joker? The nation or the written constitution?”
As always, I have questions. There’s a fundamental problem that needs to be tackled and there are some obvious conspiracies lurking around. What can be done to see the beginning of the end to this madness?
There’s no space for war even when it seems like it may happen. There is already a winning side (logically) plus, war is always resolved with dialogue in the end. So, why fight when you can talk or do other IMPORTANT things?
The older generation faced even worse but where can we connect all the dots to avoid going deeper into the already existing mess? Do we pick up from where they tried and stopped with much more advanced but subtle actions?
What can we do?
