What is the value of Nigerian life?

After social media posts took place on May 15, this beautiful and recent graduate of the University of Lagos, Adewura Lateefa Bello; disappeared along the Cement / Iyana Ipaja axis of the center of excellence, hundreds of Nigerians shared their tastes, retweets and comments to get the message across, and that's for sure.

Unfortunately, social media has become a platform for Nigerians to report their problems, problems and concerns, as the population, the government and its parastatal agencies have completely failed and collapsed at all levels.

Therefore, it was a brutal shock, a depressing story of a country that "kills" its own citizens when it was finally confirmed that Adewura, a beautiful and innocent person, had pbaded away. It's even more painful, uncomfortable and tedious when you consider how she died.

She was not kidnapped as everyone thought, nor slaughtered! She died because of & # 39; OUR & # 39; carelessness and negligence. How she died? She fell into a manhole … a manhole that was supposed to be covered! How is it that the manhole is open?

The unpretentious government official who was supposed to watch them, the greedy man who pulled out the manhole and sold it, the man who bought it, the A Nigerian who took this route every day and did not know about it, as well as the government official pbading by convoy-tainted cars in front of the road, were blinded to these holes.

This begs the question: What is the value of Nigerian life? Uncle Jimi from Clbadic FM asked this question separately! The life of a Nigerian is worthless, useless and insignificant. It is by the grace of God that we survive in this country. Last … last … we'll all run, go to Canada! As a singer sang: 'If no, be God ooo … If no, be God, I'm finished!' OYO.

Nigerians were killed by our depraved security agencies, some were kidnapped and never found while others were murdered by gunmen. What about Nigerians killed by falling containers, tankers? The list is endless … No excuse, we die like chickens in this country.

We can only lament Kolade Johnson, killed by an easy-triggering SARS officer, Stephen Urueye, Unilag graduate and House officer stabbed to death by arm robbers, Rotimi Adeyemo. to death by a revenge crowd. Do you remember the lost ball that hit a mother in Onipanu in 2017 because RS officials were chasing yahoo boys? See how the lives of Nigerians "spoil" Rivers, Jos, Bauchi and Benue.

To show you that we are in a cursed country, the murderers of each of the aforementioned and those who are not mentioned are on the street planning their next attack and preparing their weapons for the next life.

The death of Adewura will probably cause so much turmoil over the next few weeks or months and everyone will leave afterwards. Unfortunately, the status quo will be maintained until another disaster occurs.

This lets the family of Adewura cry like others without closing. Will they ever have closure? 98% no and 2% yes. This is our Nigeria!

Nigeria, please convince us that the death of Adewura will not unfold in the same way as others because Nigeria killed you Adewura! Yes, you killed Adewura! Killer of murder!

Who is the next person who will fall into the cold hands of the Nigerian gaze? Who will change the Nigerian story? Of course, he is not bubbling … he is basking in Aso-Rock while waiting to leave in 2023 and is certainly not the new Governor of Lagos State. He is in the pocket of the man at Bourdillon. He does not dare to squeak! And the other governors? They are too weak to resist the temptation of theft. Oh, Fela … Oh, Gani … where are you?

Be that as it may, all eyes must be covered and anyone who dares to touch it or even as much as open it; should be shot immediately! Nigeria needs "crazy" leaders to give us the brain! These preventable deaths must be eliminated. We are human beings from Nigeria and, one day or the other, we have to get there.

For the Adewura family, we know that the pain is unbearable and that the loss is irreparable, but … I'm sorry … I'm lost to words that comfort the family … the only good news is that She was found.

Let us all continue to pray that Nigeria will become a better place for all – rich and disadvantaged. Love your neighbors … and let's all pray that we do not fall prey to the bad side of Nigeria!
