FREEDOM FOR NNAMDI KANU - Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN

 FREEDOM FOR NNAMDI KANU

"The federal government has nothing to profit from a prolonged trial of Kanu beyond isolating itself from the Igbos. If the criminal charge against the leader of Miyetti Allah could be withdrawn, if Sunday Igboho is today a free man, then there is nothing so special about Kanu’s trial, beyond a carryover of the civil war. I advocate for a discontinuance of his trial and his eventual release. But the matter does not end there. Since their release, I have not heard of Miyetti Allah or Yoruba Nation in the same aggression and militancy that heralded their misadventures. *The choice belongs to Kanu, to decide on the fate of IPOB. If it is to continue with armed resistance, killing of security agencies and the total paralysis of the economy of that region, we cannot close our eyes to the existing laws against these acts."*

Entitlement mindset

 For the past two weeks, I stopped tipping the handymen who work for me and some of the sales guys I buy things from. 

Now I walk past security guards who used to throw salutes and smile to their ears when they see me and they feign ignorance of my presence. 

The doormen no longer open the doors with loud greetings but grudgingly as if to subtly let me know that I owe them. 

The ladies who used to fight among themselves for the opportunity to serve me at my favorite restaurant now pretend not to see me when I walk in. 

The guards at my estate gate who don’t use to search the trunk of my car, now not only do so but insist that I wane down the four glasses of my windows. 

Even my Gardner, he would appear and water some pot of flowers and then send a list of his family problems. He only comes around when he needs money. The last time, I didn’t have money to give him and I never saw him again. 

Even the vulcanizer that I give 1k, 2k, or 3k every time he corrects my tyre pressures, this morning, I didn’t have any cash to pay him, he kept me waiting for over 20 minutes just because of N200. 

When I study the behavior of people, it intrigues me. This is why I pay very keen attention to studying them. It’s something so strange yet so unbelievably fascinating and ridiculous. 

What’s most intriguing, however, is how people, mostly those at the lower echelons of society, value only money and not the most important thing which is relationships. A terrible mindset. Such a sad shortsightedness. 

This is true too for some friends and family members. They love you because your nipples are available for their milk. Once it dries up, you become another market square topic. 

Their loyalty is for sale. 

Their love is for the highest bidder.

Their beliefs are for the things that bring them the most glaring hope. 

It’s funny, yet, so true.
