Just injustice - The Oduah chronicle.

   Time has been known to make levity of an urgent situation. It is for this reason I ask impatiently ' what is going on with the Oduah-car business and Why is it still hanging over our heads like a bad smell? '
     I have always maintained my suspicion in past cases of corrupt practices and incoherent spending, but I hoped that in this case we would tell a different story. I was right.
         Articles aimed at gaining public sympathy are appearing daily, and are growing in number. They tell us how ' she is a victimized hard worker ', 'we are punishing a high achiever'... and the other few that are too annoying to mention. Where I come from, people don't speak for achievers, their achievements speak for themselves. What is victimizing about wanting to know,why, she had to own not one but two cars that cost not just an arm and a leg, but with the latest trend on OLX can buy a good number of human beings.
    The rent a protest trend is the icing on the cake. Market women who will walk the streets, exalt you and curse your enemies. Even when it is obvious that you are wrong. It is clear we do not understand what it means to bear false witness for or against our neighbour. They will for a few bags of rice, cows and Naira notes take your wrong upon themselves. Will this women be So forgiving if a branch of their family tree was prematurely pruned in a careless plane crash ? When people are blown to smithereens in churches or places of worship, Why don't this market women take to the streets ?  Why don't they protest humanitarian causes like the lack of proper medical care, the almost absent security for our children in schools, e.t.c. They happen to be the new political pro activist. Available for the table with the most chips.
        The reason why we have remained stunted is in the pace of our decision making. The protocols and panels that are gone through to make a simple obvious decision are alarming. Why would a faulting officer be allowed to remain in service while being investigated?. Considering the speed at which Jonathan is firing his aides of late (without explanation ) we would like to know why a minister who should be at least suspended is still allowed to parade herself amidst an on going investigation.
      I am not impressed with the latest scene in this fiasco, which is her private vehicle being claimed to have been shot at within Abuja. Irony is, she was neither present at the scene of the shooting nor are there any eye witnesses to the event. All we have to go by is a police report validating the story, and telling us the bullets which look like nothing they have seen before have been sent in for ballistics(conveniently no talk about the shooters). The bad plotting and execution of this story leaves me wondering who the director of this shenanigans could be, I consider our minister too intelligent to plan a ploy that stupid.
        This is a country where you can sneeze and end up in jail (if you do it in the wrong place at the wrong time) or better still be slapped with the death penalty for trying to pass off phones stuffed with ' fufu'  as the real deal. Thus, I wonder why an issue this delicate is still open for discussion without any action. Justice now appears to be for those who cannot afford to buy themselves out. That in my opinion is the greatest injustice.
