Pen, Sword, Which Is Really Mightier? by azeez4islam(m): 10:12pm On May 03, 2015
Is the pen mightier than the sword or are we just deceiving
ourselves?
Imagine if Boko Haram declared a public holiday in your city
and the Government wrote a public notice saying “don’t
listen to their stupid bluff” who would you obey? Your
Government or BH? The pen and the sword which one has
succeeded in commanding attention and obedience? Which
one commands respect quickly and humbles a man sharply?
I’ve read about most of the successful writers in Nigeria and
also about the people who actually rule the nation with their
political power (sword). I often wonder, if the pen is mightier
than the sword why is a general earning more than a
professor?
If I put a sword around your neck it will invariably affect
your pen, but how many pens have succeeded in
withstanding swords? Does the government pay attention to
writers, bloggers and critics? Or do they call it off as cheap
and senseless criticisms? But do they listen to
demonstrations and threat of power or force? I bet the
answer is YES, then why?
# What do you think? Would you rather fight with pen or
sword?
