Trades in crime

I have seen Deborah's gruesome murder, the battering, mutilation and burning of her deceased body. There was no justification for the act besides the mere satisfaction of some people's inhuman and insatiable thirst for blood and criminality.

Now, it is Harirat and her four children. I don't believe it's in the name of God or on the behalf of Christians. The perpetrators know well enough not to act in the name of God or the body of Christ, or even market, or create hash tags for their crime in a bid to galvanise for support. 

When people are killed and in certain ways for certain reasons. It is definitely painful and heart-wrecking. It is normal to see the reactions now; the name-calling and finger-pointing.

The nature of this crime in itself is an aberration in the community where it was committed even though worse things are becoming commonplace in the nation. 

Thank you leaders and elder statesmen who have condemned this in strong terms. Investigations must not take too long so that justice will be served quickly. 

It is worth stating that we all must rise with the confidence to call crimes by their names and call criminals what they are. 
That was the painful side in some cases where so-called clerics come out to praise and declare their  unalloyed support for criminals and criminality either in defence of religion or keep mute for political reasons. 

To those who condemned this act, whether political leaders, religious leaders or concerned citizens. We must thank you for having the decency to do so in our society where crime is fast becoming a trade. 

The human life is sacred and crimes involving taking of human lives remain abominable no matter who is involved or for what reason it is committed.

DOLLAR FOR MONEY

Do you know that you can have plenty of money and still go hungry?  You can be in water and still be thirsty.  The U.S dollar for instance, is one of highest currency, a benchmark for measuring the value of money as far as the world economy is concerned presently. But imagine yourself in a local market, with plenty of dollars on you. This is a place where there's no bureau de change; where you cannot change your dollar into naira.  The local sellers have no use for the dollar because they live their lives on the local hard currency they earn every day from selling their wares.  What do you think your dollars be to you in a place like that? A bunch of papers don't you think?  Some of the sellers may even pick a quarrel with you as they'd feel mocked.  This exemplifies the life of the biblical prodigal son. He had all he could ever need back home but had decided to sojourn into a foreign land where life had turned him into a mere slave, struggling for food with pi

IN THE HUSTLES OF ABUJA part 2

The rainy season used to be a good and memorable season in the village before this new life.  Before the season, boys; young and old would clear farmlands for farmers. This is to allow the grasses to rot into the soil thus fertilizing it, awaiting the wet season. When the wet season comes, it would be time for tilling.  The boys, young and old would cultivate the lands for the farmers and receive their pay. When the farms begin to grow grasses, the female, young and old, weed the farms and are paid. Sometimes, they form groups; each person collecting a given piece of job as a contract and negotiating the payment with the owner. Then they start the work one after another. The money from each finished job goes to the pocket of the contractor who had collected the job. He could then buy whatever he needed or put a portion in a pool (save) in preparation for the great “ Eje-Alekwu ”, Easter or Christmas celebration which were always accompanied by one or the other cultural fest
