The pillars of crime in Nigeria vanguardnews
PRIOR to his ascendancy to the exalted number one position in Nigeria, ‘General Daura’ had promised to block corruption loopholes, fix the economy and end the problem of insecurity. Things happened so fast that people could not probe how age, education, health, agility and personal idiosyncrasies may obstruct the implementation of the promises. They were confident ‘General Daura’ will outshine Otuoke lucky boy with his exploits against Maitatsine and his acclaimed ascetic lifestyle.
He reasoned that the preponderance of criminality is not a sheer coincidence but a consequence of collective negligence by uncaring parents, incapacitated and underfunded educational system and ill-motivated teachers, parasitic elite and their bed-bug associates who suck the collective patrimony. Their premeditated actions and deliberate inactions have pushed the weak and the vulnerable to the fringe of society.
In the same country, the children of our rulers attend the best schools abroad but their parents’ sit in government offices to justify why Nigeria cannot fund public education. Not minding the initial obstacle, the children of the poor eventually graduate without any prospect of employment. About the same time, unadvertised employment in FIRS, Central Bank and NNPC is being shared among the children of parasitic elites.
More damning contradictions contribute to contemporary forms of criminality in Nigeria. For instance, police men and women are underpaid and poorly equipped yet we complain about their extortion. In universities, lecturers have no modern facilities and books in the libraries are outdated. Yet, we want them to produce world class graduates. In the same country, First Class students receive N100,000 as the best, while reality show winner attracts endorsement deals and receive N45 million.
