As If Nothing Is Happening by ARIYO: 4:08pm On May 19, 2017
One of the major challenges we are facing as a nation is our non sensitivity to what is going on around us. We pretend a lot when what is going on is not directly affecting us. We even get to the point we celebrate the pains and agony of other people on social media as if we are happy about it. How can we explain a situation where people were involved in ghastly motor accident and dead bodies lie on floor while others are injured and the next thing you see people doing is bring out their phones and take pictures and recording in other to send it fast to Facebook , whatsapp or other social media. The question at this point is that if one were in that position k
of restlessness and all you see instead of help is recording, how would one feel?
Things are getting worse each day, No fear of God, no human feeling, killing is the order of the day all over the country, yet our leaders all over the country are pretending as if nothing is happening. The recent killing of four young men in ikorodu is one of the things that made me marvel and realise that the future of this country is indeed very sad.
When the issue of Baddo started in Ibeshe , one of the sub-town in ikorodu, no one saw it as a big deal until more happening. Those killed then have no value as far as Lagos state government is concern. Since people living in Ikorodu were considered as low class citizen, the government in power see nothing special. These terrible incidents happened not once or twice in that location but our so call leader pretends as if nothing extraordinary happened.
Within few months now, many killings to mention a few were done by Badoo men in almost all towns within Ikorodu metropolis. Baddo struck in Itamaga, Aleke, Odogunyan and Igbogbo which resulted to gruesome killings. They go into innocent people’s houses in the night all in the name of taking their blood.
When the issue of Boko haram started, people from south east and south west never see anything special about it. Some used to say that let them kill themselves in the north but today, we all see as national problem. Am using this medium to beg and appeal to the government to please move fast and get to the root of this many ritual killings. Almost everyone in ikorodu understands that secrets cults sects are being talked about while our Obas, elders and leaders are helpless on what to do. If the Lagos State Government do not get to do the needful now, we pray it does not degenerate to a national issue that federal governments will be begging international communities for assistance and help.
People living in ikorodu are now living in great fear daily; police are helpless as killing is going on every day. Innocent souls wrongly label as Baddo and killed broad day light and our leaders are at ease.
You may say that, thank God am not living in Ikorodu but you or someone close to you may fall victim tomorrow. Let Lagos state government rise up to their call, safety of lives and properties is number one responsibility of any responsible government.

God will help us all from the hands of the evil doers. It's important for the residents to form a vigilante group and also use this medium as a means to give little of what they know about the group. Evil prevails only when good people do nothing.
