COPIED
SOCIAL MEDIA HYPOCRITES: WHERE ARE YOU?
For a couple of years now, I have
consistently maintained that Nigerians are professional hypocrites and are never
sincere to whatever cause they claim to pursue because even though on the surface it may look altruistic and humanitarian, underneath that layer is a selfish interest well laced with religious or ethnic colouration. In fact, let me confess that I do not know the things that unite us as a people and have kept us going all these
years despite the hatred, distrust, disdain & contempt that we have for one other. To the #hausa, the #nyamiris (igbos & other ethnic
groups in the east/south) cannot be trusted with power; while the #bayarbe (Yorubas) are #baraayi (thieves). Ask the #igbos about
the other two ethnic groups & you will hear them say "those #abokis are cows" while the Yorubas are #betrayers. The Yoruba on the other hand will describe the igbos as "over ambitious"; and the hausa as "eranko" (animals). Yet, none of us can do without the other! Anyways, that's a topic
for another day.
Now that tension has been doused following the reported arrest of the cold blood killers of Mrs Bridget, it is my hope that the authorities shall speed up the
prosecution so that conviction and
sentencing of those murderers can be concluded in no time. It was "a sad day Devil drink water for the family"; a day they will wish to forget quickly and move on with life.
Please, accept my heartfelt condolences.
The unfortunate incident has further exposed the hypocrisy of Nigeria's self- styled human right activists who come on Social Media to rant, condemn, accuse and curse others to earn fame and praise from hypocrites alike as well as from well meaning Nigerians who mistake their
sugar-coated and well packaged hypocrisy for patriotism. One or two days of media ranting and #fiam they creep back into their
cocoons hoping for another opportunity to vent their anger against their ethno- religious rivals. These #bigots and
#extremists are the real problems with Nigeria.
It is rather unfortunate that common criminals are allowed to commit dastardly acts everyday without any form of hindrance or condemnation by the self- acclaimed activists on Social Media. If #armed_robbers or #rapists or #ritualists or #Cultist, be they Muslims or non Muslims are
mobbed, decapitated & burnt alive in Lagos, Port Harcourt or Calabar, the crowd cheer on
and these #hypocritical_activists commend and celebrate them for being security conscious and vigilant. To them, those people deserve to die a gruesome death.
However, if the same thing happens in Kano or Bauchi and the victims involved are either Christians or Southerners or Easterners, the same people scream to high heavens and
verbally attack every northerner, from Emirs to Governors. You see, same crime, same barbarism, same people, different perception. Naija I hail thee.

According to Chike Okonkwo, this incident happened recently in Emohua, Rivers state.
A young man was killed and beheaded while his body was burnt, yet it provoked no national response. In fact, his assailants,
after decapitating him molested his corpse by inserting a stick of cigarette in his nose & a sachet of drinking in his mouth, yet not a
whimper was heard from the Social Media hypocrites. The story never trend because the perpetrators are not Muslims and it didn't happen in the north.
May God save us from ourselves...

My friend keep quiet! Do you think anybody would talk if those northerners beheaded a fellow northerner. This a crime committed in the name of religion and against someone of another ethnicity and u compare it with a cult clash between youths from the same community?

You'd say a crime is a crime. But if someone came into ur family and started assaulting ur wife, would u react the same way as u would do, if it was his own wife he was assulting?

No noise needed, no Muslim is involved. Smh

Do you involve the police when you fight with your family member? Do you involve the police when you have a fight with a stranger? It simply answers your question.

Your respect for strangers is the reason you don't behave as freely as you would in your home.

It's an internal crime and would be handled as such. You fail to mention the reason for his death however, unlike that of Late Bridget which was known to be tied to a region and character famous for these killings that are polarizing the country, especially as the populace feels the government sympathy lies with the said tribe.

It's not enough to be painted as hypocrisy. You can't say the numbers of murders that hit the news from the North accounts for all the murders in the North.

Once the reason for the boy's murder is not justified in any dimension, expect calls for the perpetrators' heads.

Op you don't complain when it is certain that justice won't be delayed as long as the perpetrators are known, judge it from this angle, the Rivers case was done in secret, meaning the murderers fear being known because justice won't spare them. In the kano case and its kind, they kill in open, before the crowd, you know them yes but what will you do? It leaves a sense of same law applied differently to different regions, thats why we rant, that justice be meted out equally. If a northerner kills a northerner, the law would be applied, but if a southerner or westerner is the victim, you wonder if we are lawless.
