*OF NIGERIA AND REPRESSION.*
Oppression and repression will, often times, lead to depression. We’ll be fifty-nine years old tomorrow. Yet, we are still many steps away from being civil and cosmopolitan.
I am not versed and vast at law. Sir Richard II , Sir Abdul , Barr. Awopeju, Osuji, Festus, Muhammed and their learned colleague in the “silk” industry know much about that.
However, I know freedom of speech exists. I know a citizen, particularly in his or her own country, should enjoy the freedoms of speech, movement and association in their full forms without any form of fear as long as s/he is not threatening the peace of others.
He didn’t brandish a Beretta. He wielded no weapon. But he is now a resident in a cage. Liberation- is like a gourd that can not be subdued under the water; It always resurface- cannot be caged.
Those ones foray into a community; while their cattle kill the crops, they(herders) turn the inhabitants to corpses. Those ones won’t be caged. Their offence isn’t sage.
Why will they waste their vigour on hunting the hounds that hold our people hostages on a daily basis? Oh! It is baseless.
You wouldn’t know the agonising effects of being denied of one’s rights until you are a victim. An injustice in a place, they say, is a threat to every other places.
That Nigeria will be a year older in freedom tomorrow- recollecting the agonising days of slavery and servitude in the pre-colonial era- is therapeutic and didactic. Freedom for one, freedom for all.
Oppose oppression. Reject repression. Delete depression; and watch our country grow beyond expectation.
