May fool? – Adewale Sobowale

The news was agog yesterday about a court in the UK’s sentencing a Nigerian senator who, with his wife, was found guilty of organ harvesting.

Knowing how the British love their holidays, and yesterday being Labour Day, were the courts in session?

I checked various news sources, even the BBC, and nothing about the reported imprisonment.

But then, that’s not even the crux of the matter.

The major concern we should have is that the case has highlighted our poverty in all its aspects.

Health services, road networks, employment, production, and so on!

Several opinions have been expressed. I’ve always agreed with the school of thought that says, “a people deserves its ruling class.”
