In very sane climes, peaceful protests are legitimate means through which the citizenry put derailing leaders on their toes.
However, a situation in which a sensitive, responsive,accountable and responsible government frowns at peaceful protests and prevents same, then a lot is wrong.
The people have no other option, but to protest the continued kidnappings, killings and other violent crimes, when the Powers that Be have failed to do the needful.
Injustice, nepotism and inequality in all aspects of life have brought about disillusion and discontentment among the impoverished citizenry.
Interestingly, the new national minimum wage of 30, 000 Naira trailed by the increase in all forms of taxation and the electricity tariffs, are indications that the Powers that Be are insensitive, inhuman and nonchalant in the face of the realities of the present time.
Indeed, the imprints of high wired sabotage are visible in the so called quest to protect lives and property of the citizenry, while they contend with heavily compromised personnel of the known law enforcement agencies.
The ongoing crime and criminality in the Olorunsogo, Molete area of Ibadan, Oyo state, among several other communities in Nigeria throws more light to the unfortunate man made situation the country finds itself today.
