THE VULTURE IS TRULY A PATIENT BIRD


By: Agosu 'Tayo

At this rate, we are back in the Stone age where power is equal to right, where impunity reign supreme, where human life is Brutish and



short. An age where absolute power is truly corrupting absolutely. A state in human existence where the motto is "All man for himself and God for us all".

Shameful to realize that the rule of Law we religiously proclaim isn't in force anywhere. Worrisome is the realization that government cannot address the agitations of the governed.

It is a clear indication that we are yet to and probably may not advance in our system of governance. Jungle defines this place!

Where is that civilization? We have seen deliberations and dialogues on matters like this in "Organized" climes. This is a global let down this generation may not recover from even at this stage of our national existence.

A lot of questions will never get answers.

Generation to come will have so much puzzles to grapple with.

Posterity will cast question marks on a lot of actions and inactions.

We can only but Hope but it is unfortunate that we may not get the Nigeria of our dreams. Switching off the street lights and opening fire on peaceful protesters is the height of impunity.

Deploying unpopular public relations technique  and blatantly denying the massacre at the initial stage is another brazen disregard to the sanctity of human life.

In as much as I would not want to label my "country" a Banana Republic, I would love to get answers to the reason why Lekki Massacre was denied only for the government to approve some form of compensation for the families of the 70 affected person on the eve of the first year remembrance. Who knows if there are more?

Now you will wonder if these men are really interested in governing the people or simply playing poker with the helpless citizens. They clearly do not understand the international standards and relevant laws relating to governance which is both distasteful and sad at this stage of our National existence.

Terrorism has been raging for years, even holding picnics at the doormat of the president but condolence visits to affected villages matters as khaki boys handle them with kids' gloves, grant enemies of state amnesty and pay them above the minimum wage from the taxpayers' money.

Truly, this place is a joke! Some form of geographical accident with evil hearted and blood thirsty beings strategically positioned to hamper  peaceful coexistence of the people.

The people submitted their powers into the wrong hands while the international community watch the melodrama with keen interest.

"You can fool some people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all the time"
This and Generations to come may not forgive the atrocities of the #EndSARS massacre.

Just I like I conclude every piece on national matters, kindly reflect and slowly take the second stanza of of our national anthem and pray for this nation because we need a divine intervention. A total shift from foxes in sheep skins.

"Oh God of Creation, direct our nobel cause.
Guide our leaders right,
Help our youths the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living,just and true,
Great lofty heights attained,
To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign"

Sad!

REAL MADRID FC MOVES UP LA LIGA TABLE FOLLOWING LEVANTE VICTORY

Real Madrid moved to the top of La Liga on Sunday as Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema both scored in a 2-0 win over Levante. Vinicius, who had proved decisive in Madrid’s win over Real Valladolid on Wednesday, looked set to see off Levante as well, before Benzema notched his first goal of the season late on. Madrid have now recorded three clean sheets from their four opening games, although a draw away at Real Sociedad has given an early advantage to Barcelona, who play away at Sevilla later on Sunday. “We had to suffer,” said Zinedine Zidane. “We had chances in the second half to kill the game and that would have made it different. We suffered a lot because they also had chances.” Madrid and Barca had earlier played out the first ever women’s Clasico after Madrid finally launched their female team this season. Yet Barcelona showed their superiority in a 4-0 rout. But the men’s team have become something of a defensive juggernaut under Zidane after their solidity and resilience formed...
