When The Society Normalises Abnormalities: Nigeria As A Case Study. by umehmj(m): 10:24am On Aug 24, 2023

"From their failure to provide pipe-borne water, they created a class of bottled water consumers and borehole owners.

From their failure to provide security, they created a class of bulletproof car owners with armed escorts.

From their failure to provide electricity, they created a class of Mikano generators and solar panel owners.

From their failure to provide education, they created a class of private school students, and abroad students.

From their failure to provide good health care, they created a class of abroad medical tourists.

They have so messed up our heads to the extent that those classes they created out of their failures are now the goal every one of us wants to reach.

To drink bottled water, own a Mikano generator or a bulletproof car, or travel abroad for school or medicals, have become landmark achievements that we even pray about.

Some people, in their bid to intimidate you or prove they are higher than you, say things like: what I drink is bottled water; where I school is abroad; if I have money, I will buy you all bulletproof cars; I don't use local hospitals...I use abroad hospitals; our generator runs 24/7... Etc. . .

We now take pride in things that came about because we were denied our basic rights by those we ourselves elected to provide them.

The worst any government can do to its people is to bring them to that point where abnormalities become normal, and normalities become abnormal for them.

They have so messed up our heads for so long that we don't even know that what we are going through and the life we are priding on is not actually the normal way things ought to be."

When will we decide to refuse our heads not to be messed up?

~~Rev Fr Kelvin Ugwu, from the pulpit on a Sunday morning.

Nigeria is way too backwards

In civilised countries:

People are arrested after investigation and charged to court, in Nigeria, people are arrested in other to investigate what to charge them to court for
