Simple #JusticeForDonDavis

-

Reading through the story of Don Davis, the 11years old pupil that was sexually molested by his seniors in the Deeper Life school in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State, I'm raised to a gallish drip.

The whole context of the story: right from how the young lad was treated disdainfully for supposed bedwetting, how he was so horribly messed up with sexually and to how he was further starved, speaks more to an angered me. It's very shameful and so diabolic to have subjected this kid to such horror and dread.

And to heighten my already blistering anger is the purported attempt by the school authority and the Akwa-Ibom state government, through its commissioner for Education, to sweep this issue under the carpet.


This attempt to cover up this dastardly act and trying to undermine the degree of such ill is the worst action that could be taken, for it's akin to denying the victim the needed justice! And this should be condemned. It shouldn't be allowed to happen, in the least.

Such story of a child been toiled with in such a way as to dip hands and insert legs into his anus as a ritual is deeply unimaginable and should not be heard of in a school environment, more so a church-owned institution. This is far more of a child abuse, it is highly a crime as suggestive of the dereliction of duty by the institution. The irresponsibility of the management should be condemned!

The story of a cover-up by the school management, if true, must be censured. The Deeper Life Bible church and Pst WF Kumuyi must rise up to the occasion as it demands now to condemn the act and critically investigate this matter as to do justice. Incidents of this nature are not best managed by shielding the culprits and denying they happened. It instead fuels the lead for repetition.

Therefore, the primary culprits must be brought out and dealt with to appropriately shame the act and deter those who may be so influenced to act similarly. The incident might not have been the first of the culprits, but the exposition brought about by Don Davis mother and the child himself should be cashed upon to sternly deal with this evil crime and those similar to it!

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-
Image
Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci...

WTO: The Issue With Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's Nomination

-
I've been keenly following the developments as regards nominations for the position of the Director General of the World Trade Organization, WTO, especially as its concerns the general ratification by the African regional body, AU, to field a consensus candidate. In doing that I've looked at the nomination of Fred Yunov Agah and the eventual substitution with Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (NOI) by Nigeria, together with the dissension by Egypt, a contender in the forthcoming WTO election and a top interested party in the choice of Africa Union consensus candidacy. I have looked at it critically from three widely separate angles of national patriotism, independent objectivity and in the light of regional sense of justice. At a point, I sought to be overwhelmed by the flying influence of one over the others- that of having to view at the stronger propensity in standing a robust change internationally to clinch this post by Nigeria, in the event of NOI staying as a nominee.  That advantage ...

EndPoliceBrutality: Time for National Reforms

-
  Nigerian youths finally have decided it's time they took the bull by the horns in giving direction to the future they desire. With the launch of the endsars movement which was focused as an onslaught against long tales of incidences of police brutality, the demand has serenaded to an emphatic demand for good governance, good economic programs and extensive national rebirth. The #EndSARS protest which commenced on the 7th of October within the major cities of Lagos and Abuja, was specifically meant to send a message to the government that the SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) unit of the Nigeria police have shown to not be only irresponsible but wicked, having totally strayed from their responsibility to protect the people and maintain law and  order and has instead turned to be inhuman, barbaric and monsters against the same people they're meant to protect. They had at such in expressing their bulging anger of many years taken to the streets, having boldly as their immediate...
