WE BUILT THIS PLACE

Sadly but succinctly stated:

*WE BUILT THIS PLACE*

by Ademola H. Adigun

A lecturer wanting 5 rounds to pass a female student. A policeman demanding 500k for bail. A judge demanding 5m for judgement. A public servant demanding 50m for a contract. A voter demanding 5k for his/her vote. A clergy demanding 5-500k for “blessings”. A leader(s) close their eyes to corruption and nepotism. A parent offering 50k for ward’s admission into school or paying for exam questions.

A society rewarding incompetence. A society  closing its mind to murder. A society shutting down common sense. A society designed to allow the worst to emerge to the top, in many respects. A society that justifies all things in the name of politics, tribe, ethnicity and individual benefit. A society that blackmails others for difference in thinking.

A Nation that we have all collectively built. One working towards oppressing the other. Where impunity is rife. Where our default thinking is on wailing or hailing never a consideration of the issue.

*A society with low or no expectations from their leaders.*  A society in conflict with itself.

*A society where thought is absent*. That all issues are swept under the carpet depending on who holds the broom and where all things can be covered depending on where the umbrella tilts.

 A society where seemingly educated men run away from speaking out in the face of evil so that they will be seen as saints .

A society where evil doers are glorified by men who pretend to be gentlemen.

A society  where men have no regards to the legacy they will leave behind.

*A society where money is preferred to wisdom!!!*

*We built this place*
