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? |
