Two isolated
oddities, happening contemporaneously in different States of our federation,
typify the level of decadence and reign of impunity to which our contraption
has fallen in the course of the past few years. These are:
1. The shutting down of a huge Shopping Mall at Iponrin, Lagos State on the orders of the daughter of a former Governor of Lagos State on account of purported disagreements between the aid daughter of an ex-Governor and owners of Shops in the Mall and an incredulous insistence that Shop owners at the Mall must register with a particular political party, and
2. The public shooting to death of an aide to the Abia State Governor - yes, you read right, 'aide to the son of a State Governor, apparently at the instigation of the son of the said State Governor!
I had actually shied away from commenting on these absurd events in the hope that as more details emerged, our worst fears will be disproved. Alas, owners of Shops at the Mall shut by ex-Governor Bola Tinubu's daughter whose loses continue to sky-rocket and the young widow and child whose husband/dad was killed courtesy of Governor Theodore Orji's brat, serve to give life to our sad reality.
More worrisome is the fact that these untoward criminal acts by these apparently not well brought up scions of our political rulers were effected either with the connivance or active collaboration of our Police and security agencies (who are ordinarily supposed to protect the public).
Unfortunately, the system will provide protection for these 'executive' urchins.
And we wonder why we are where we are and the rest of the world are where they are?
