He said it was unbelievable that
people were being emotional for Evans, who made lives of many innocent people
and their families miserable.
In the post he shared on
Instagram, Ali Baba also spoke on some issues facing the nation.
Ali Baba wrote: “I said it before, that we got here, where our country now stagnates, as a consequence of what we failed to do, what we allowed and a combination of all we did individually and collectively.
“But most assuredly, as a result of letting evils in our society go unpunished. Someone goes into government, owning only a bungalow, comes out after a term in office with several properties, serious balances in their domiciliary accounts, several cars yet there is no way, that official’s salaries and allowances can fund all those. And when questions are asked, it’s witch hunting.
“How much was your paid tax since you are the owner of all these wealth indicators? How did you make the money? Can you imagine some idiots are asking that a confessed kidnapper be freed?
“We are not talking petty thieves, who steal food to feed his family. Someone who caused families pain. Made the lives of their victims hell. And even got some killed. How do you people sleep at night?
“I have a friend, a commissioner in Ogun State, whose father-in-law was kidnapped, the ransom was demanded and paid. Yet, over 5 or 6 years on, the body of the man has not been found. Did you see the robbers in the Zenith bank video that went viral? How can you listen to such heartless criminals and say it’s ok to forgive.
“How would the family of the police officer take it? Now you know why corruption is fighting back. All those who have survived through lawlessness and illicit businesses are the ones fighting back on behalf of corruption. Same goes for so-called unknown soldiers.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“There is a disagreement, next thing a bunch of soldiers will hop on a vehicle raze down a police station, burn down a BRT bus, shoot and maim… And this happens every now and then. Yet no heads roll. That’s why they will do it again. Herdsmen enter someone’s farmland. Trample on planted crops, an on going business concern. Even schools. No consequences.
“A legislator opens a colleague’s head with a mace. No punishment. Someone kidnaps a sitting governor and brags about it. Nothing happens to him. You embezzle pensions of elders who served Nigeria. And walk free. You burst pipelines. And get Amnesty of 1.3m monthly. What do I know…”

ReplyDeleteWhen a criminal is apprehended and you start drawing attention to other criminals who may not have been apprehended, you give the impression of trivialising the case of the one that has been apprehended. You come across as saying "He is not the only criminal.. Go and apprehend these other criminals first." Never try to minimise a crime by pointing at other crimes!

ReplyDeleteYou miss the point@ anonymous: no action happens in isolation. ALI clearly asserts that we have gotten to where we are as a nation due to a chain of actions and inactions. Making a list of some of the shameful ills of the nation doesn't tell us more than we know already, but provokes reflection. Let's do more than reflect and make concrete decisions on how we shape our culture and national destiny by the actions we take everyday. It's not enough to take a swipe at the politicians. What about you and me? It's up to us.
