He had a strong feeling, but he decided that he would spend some time with the boys, have a few drinks and go on a date with Flora before heading out on his mission that night. There had been a big heist the night before: a bank, the name of which he couldn’t even remember, had been cleaned out. The operation had left one of the gang members dead and all the security agents on duty that night; three of them; dead too Now they were away from danger and now they only think about having a good time: wine, women, drugs and loud music. This is how they spend loot without caring where the next Naira will come from. This is the way they show those in power that they too had power.
Now Jude has been arrested, mutilated, convicted and sentenced to death for armed robbery and murder. The night’s riot had ended fatally and the game was up for a young man who would have been a responsible, successful, and law-abiding citizen, but upon whom society had foisted a life of crime and vice because that was the kind of society that grew until meet and survive in.
Those in power steal more and do more damage to society than people like Jude, but instead of treating them the same way they have treated Jude, they are praised and awarded as “fathers of modern Nigeria”, “old statesmen”. , “philanthropists”, etc. However, as the saying goes: “every day goes to the thief, but one day goes to the owner”, we are seeing justice being served in our beloved but beleaguered nation of late. A host of stinking skeletons in the closet of those who dominated Nigerian politics in the immediate past and even in the current administration are exposed on an almost daily basis. Criminal politicians (state governors, ministers, DG and Perm. Secs are now being questioned by the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission).
We must face the ugly present squarely and ensure that the threat of corruption is dealt with decisively to achieve anything. However, for all the recent developments, we give thanks to the powers that be and sincerely believe that justice will be done and Nigerians will finally see the day when corruption will be a thing of the past and the future of Nigeria and the world will be a bright one.
