Wonders shall never end

Nigeria is a wonder. As a matter of fact, some people have opined that by some acts of tectonic movements or some cosmic re-compositions, the country should have just being a different continent or planet.

With daily happenings in the country defying all forms of established theories and principles, I can tell you that Nigeria is indeed a country of wonders and wonderful men that the world is constantly paying special attention to and regularly placing in special sections of human history.

This attention is not only because of the numerous epoch-making and enviable feats that the name of the country and men of this country are synonymous with, but also for some unbelievable abnormalities that also make news with a few of its aberrant citizens.

How do you understand a man who pushes out a 15-year old ‘new-to-pubescent chassis’ in exchange for a 13-year old 'recently weaned yoyo'? Shouldn’t that tell anyone that we are already seeing Act 1, Scene 1 of absurdity?

Shouldn’t we also fear that we might gradually be getting to a point where some dysfunctional men will start wrestling babies (girls) away from their mother’s breast even before such babies are weaned all in the name of culture?

Nigeria na wa. As we dey put out one fire, another one dey gather smoke again.

I have always thought that an advocate of morality should not also be the proponent of impunitous acts; acts that fall short of acceptable societal norms. I think I have been proven wrong.

Well, what can I say? Can I ask the man who now find solace in the arms of his ‘newly-paid-for’ toddler not to enjoy his catch or what clout do I have to tell the girl’s parents that their behaviour comes across more like greed and disservice to the girl?

I can only hope that those who sin against the Nigerian and African youths will be made to answer for their sins someday.

Wonders shall never end.
