Are Those Who Do Bad Things, From Outer Space…Or From Amongst Us?

[Update 22nd Nov. 2013 @ 11.28: PDF download link to FULL write-up now added!] Everyday I read comments and posts on social media by smart thinking, well educated Nigerians who live in the country, and elsewhere. 99% of the time they seem to be lamenting another gory news item served to them by their trust sources.

Very often, it’s about some naughty act committed by a politician or two.

But probably just as frequently, there’s news about a sadistic act committed by one citizen against another e.g. abduction of aged persons, or children by kidnappers; use of human beings for money making sacrifices; a teenage child smashing an object on his fathers head’ inadvertently killing him, a pastor sleeping with his girl-child.

And so on.

These smart people ask “Why? They also ask “When is it all going to end?”

This PDF report is my contribution to that discourse. I tried posting a contribution to a friend’s recent post on the above theme – and soon saw I had almost 960 words! So, in light of my resolve stated above, it’s morphed from a Facebook comment into this PDF paper!
