The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man is threatened.”
― John F. Kennedy
Welcome to a platform to have your say. A platform that seeks to awaken in you the consciousness of your rights and the reality of what happens in our dear nation, Nigeria. A platform that seeks to inculcate a sense of duty, responsibility and discipline in every Nigerian. No one can afford to remain on the sideline. We must all voice out against injustice, indiscipline and violence. We dare not sleep with fire on our rooftops. No one is safe. Not in your house, school or car. The case of nine year old Timilehin Ebun who was killed by a police stray bullet right inside his father's car on his way back from the Airport with his family, where they had gone to pick his elder brother is still fresh to recall. According to available data, about 54,000 Nigerians had been killed extrajudicially between 1999 and 2013.
As the blog evolves, we shall have a section for the role model of the week. This will be a platform to celebrate honest Nigerians who chose a good name over financial and material gains. The honest taxi driver who returns forgotten items, the market woman who will never use a false weight, the overpaid bank customer who though needs money, returns the excess amount he is paid, and the banker who will never underpay the customer.
.
Contributions are welcomed from readers. This is a platform to reveal it as it happens.Share stories about Nigerians who inspire, about injustice happening in your area. Has your rights being trampled on? Spill it here. We will do a lot of digging into the past cases of violence and especially 'accidental discharges'. With time, we will become a strong force that can tilt the situation to our favor This is the only way we can move about freely without fear of being hit by stray bullets and 'accidental discharges' from trigger-happy law enforcement officers and people whose interest disagree with societal norms, values and peace.Create the Nigeria of your dream. I eagerly await your contributions. All enquiries, stories, partnership request should be forwarded to ogunleye_mojisola@yahoo.com or call +2348137565551.

ReplyDeleteThe bedrock of any nation is the respect for the rule of law, an idea strange to our dear fatherland. The elite rule like demagogues. Laws are flouted with impunity. Justice is for the highest bidders. Leaders serve themselves rather than the people. Ethnocentricity and religious bigotry thrives above common sense and respect for human dignity. Ours is a lawless state.This generation has inherited a pandoras box what with the menace of Boko haram, pervasive corrution, inept leadership and a shambolic public service. Our ship of state is in very rough seas. Our fathers have eaten the proverbial sour grapes and our teeth have been set on edge. We must rise above this bequest. Let us put our house in order because we are good people, a great nation. Nobody is going to do it for us. The responsibility lies squarely on our shoulders. The first place to start is the courage to air the wrongs that go on everyday, to speak up gainst the ills that plague our society. I salute your courage Jisola as you take up this onerous task.
