Is It End Of Time In Nigeria, Are Witnessing Some Apocalyptic Endgame
Is It End Of Time In Nigeria, Are Witnessing Some Apocalyptic Endgame
By Tatalo Alamu
As one outlandish occurrence follows another, the most sensitive among Nigerians are beginning to experience what can be described as horror-fatigue.
Is it end of time in Nigeria and are we witnessing some apocalyptic endgame?.
Just a single one of these events is enough to send a sane and sober society on a tailspin.
But they are coming at us fast and furious, from all angles and from many dimensions of human bestiality.
What then is the purpose of human civilization and governance in this clime? We have roused the beast in us.
Something is happening to human nature in Nigeria which is worthy of global attention. With the collapse of human institutions, we are gradually reverting to the default setting of our animal cousins.
While worthy Nigerian ambassadors are doing their very best to showcase to the world the marvellous potpourri of cultural and intellectual possibilities available to this prodigiously talented nation, many others are bent on dragging us back to the Stone Age. While the law enforcement agencies try their bravest best to rein them in, they devise new methods, and they come up each day with fresh satanic strategies of state-evasion.
Every day, survivors of kidnapping gangs regale us with tales of their ordeal in all their horrific and brutish details.
Many are made to drink their own urine or watch the non-compliant being summarily shot. A female captive revealed how she was force-marched along with others for twelve hours until they reached a modern kidnapping complex in the forest. There were informants and sentry posts dotting the route. The trauma must be abiding. These people surely mean business.
What do we make of the boy who sold his hunchback mother to ritualists for seven million Naira?.
The deranged savages wasted no time in slaughtering the poor woman. How can this boy live in peace for the rest of his life?.
In Ondo State, two lover boys murdered their lovers in quick succession and were promptly arraigned.
While we are still mourning those beautiful girls, a third Romeo struck setting ablaze the entire homestead of his estranged lover.
At the last count, the casualty figure stood at eight family members. Police are still on the trail of the lunatic urchin.
Meanwhile, there has been no further judicial or police report about the case of those who cruelly murdered the daughter of a retired general in a Lagos hotel after luring her from the social media to certain death.
If there is no fishy business going on, the police authorities ought to regularly showcase developments in such cases as a subtle threat to other miscreants.
The culture of police silence on such matters lends credence to wild conspiracy theories and allegations of connivance with evil.
The culture of impunity breeds murderous rascality.
Every society, fundamentally threatened as ours, must put in place stringent measures to halt the advance of anti-social barbarity such as we are currently witnessing in Nigeria.
The disdain for the code of Hammurabi in certain quarters is nothing but liberal claptrap and disguised western hypocrisy.
Developing societies must entertain no such immoral luxury. Anybody who commits a serious crime must be made to feel the full weight of the law.
Let Rotimi Akeredolu do the needful and sign the warrants on his desk.

In other news…….
1 / 21 -In the desert outside Dubai, a giant solar park is rising. Plans are in place to erect solar panels and concentrated solar power arrays with a cumulative capacity of 5,000 megawatts — what would be the largest single-site solar park in the world. Cost $13.6B
Beginning with OBJ’s spending of $16B ($2.4B more than the Dubai project), no power, Naija, which one?
OBJ, GEJ, PMB power budgets, still no power, Naija which one?
Dubai – the elites love and are proud of the development/beauty of their land.
Naija – the elites, clergymen and their supporters are thieves. These thieves cannot fix societal ills (kidnapping, armed robbery, terrorism and others) because they are part of the ailment. Satan is proud of these thieves and preparing a special place in his kingdom for them.

Our country needs God’s intervention for all to be well. May God help us.

Nigerians are the ones plaguing themselves with social menaces that have engulfed our nation. We have no government although we pretend we have one but we rather have no government rather than having inept one. I recollect the writer mentioned about stringent measures to stop these plagues but who will implement this? those that we rely upon in national assembly have failed entire nation for their inability to enact a law that mandate death sentencing for Kidnappers, Ritualists, Terrorists etc. Some of them are financial backup and Godfather to these criminals. That is the reason why they are more reluctant to take action. As the situation is right now in Nigeria, who is going to bell the cat?
As I have said it before and I will continue to say it that, the secret of our nation security lies within the leadership of this Country. It seems we know what to do but we cannot do it because most of our leaders who suppose to take action have shot themselves in leg by engaging the service of these criminals as heir pollical thugs. Politics is one of our biggest problem in this Country. The only quickest way to fix this problem is to first of all scap politics. Then, lets go back to regional government, let us have State Police and reinforced them with weapons. If nothing is done as urgent as possible we may end up wiping ourselves out of African Map because these social menaces has reached pandemic level.

The result of failure is always disastrous, and Nigeria is a big example, though, originally designed to fail by British, and since then, those who knew their plan is either killed or silenced except you are ready to play by their rules.
The most unfortunate thing is they (British) handed Nigeria over to Fulanis and their agreement is what’s playing out.
