A man barely escaped being lynched to death by an angry mob in Lagos who arrested him after he allegedly stole a goat. The angry mob as usual stripped him of his clothings and set about beating him. While a more militant group were about to kill him luck prevailed on the victim as another group came to the scene and reminded the crowd of what happened in Aluu village. The victim was lucky not to be killed. Nigerians are a rather unique people who never ceases to amaze. They vent so much anger of petty thieves while the biggest rogues who parade themselves in the corridors of power in the nation are allowed to continue to strut around arrogantly with nothing done to them. These rogues have plundered the entire wealth of the nation,acquire private jets,drive around in their SUV's and they send their kids to school abroad yet the masses do not hold them accountable,instead they are busy running after petty thieves. A nation is ultimately as good as its government and a government is as good as its people. The people are as good as their heart desires,their priorities. Nigerians need to get it together and stop this displaced aggression. A criminal should be handed over to the authorities and criminals in government should be held accountable for their actions. We can't run the current nation of ineptitude called Nigeria as we are currently doing and expect things to be better.
