Why Nigeria Keeps Going to the Dogs
“It’s none of my business” — the root cause of Nigeria’s woes.
The illustrious professor walked into the class. His authoritative “Who dares to challenge me?” atmosphere instantly subdued the students. They were already in their seats, waiting to receive his lectures for the day. In he walked, majestically. His students were ready to go. Let the lectures begin. But contrary to their expectation, before commencing, the professor singled out one of his students, Alexis. He banished her out of his class. Forever. No questions asked.
Taken aback, Alexis asked, “I don’t understand.” But the professor’s word was law. He who must be obeyed won’t brood any opposition to his “unjust” edict. Demurely, the lovely lady left the class in humiliation. Or so it seemed.
Fortunately, it all ended well. And need I tell you it was all a script? The professor was driving home a lesson that these upcoming legal luminaries wouldn’t have learned any other way.
His question, “Why didn’t any of you try to prevent this injustice?” has haunted me (in a positive way) ever since I first watched the YouTube script
The answer to that question is what every Nigerian must answer if ever there is to be any hope for our country’s redemption.
