The world has been affected this past few days or weeks
with the death sentence of the 8 people found guilty of drug
trafficking, Nigerians in particular are more affected by 4 Nigerians
that was convicted,mothers have wailed and our hearts still bleeds up
till this moment.Before their executions we were told that some
countries made an appeal to stop the sentence but all proved
abortive....
Every country has laws and code of conduct that every
citizen should abide and observe, The law is supreme no matter the
situation but at the same time people think some laws are extreme
because before the law of the land there exist the law of nature that
gives us the right to live.
Now taking off the cloak of sentiments
clouding our minds and preventing us from facing realities and using
Nigeria as a case study, we have made a bad name in relation to drug
trafficking in my opinion even at this moment "somewhere in Nigeria
Chukwudi is planning to travel to go and make it".How is that you know
the law of the country yet you take the risk and proceed to go against
it?...The law of the land is placed to guide us and also protect us.My
opinion is that we all should try and do the right thing..
Our people
should learn to invest in themselves, wash their hands off illegal
activities and business so we won't fall prey to the other side of the
rule of law and the government should make our environment a conducive
atmosphere for business and realization of dreams so we won't have to
engage ourselves in mundane activities.
I pray for the souls of the departed..may God accept their
souls and give them rest..we are hoping that they are in a better
place...and he should grant their families the heart to bear the
loss.Amen.
