I know that the dominant health topic
now is Coronavirus (or, if you like, Chinese Virus), but I feel
compelled to draw attention to some egregious practices by some callous and
cruel Nigerians that are ruining many lives daily in this country. These vile
characters are able to unleash this grievous harm on innocent Nigerians because
the various regulatory agencies like, the National Agency for Food, Drug
Administration and Control (NAFDAC) or the Standard Organisation of
Nigeria (SON, are either in very deep slumber or very sick and nigh unto
death, or even dead and awaiting burial!
I think that if some far-reaching
interventions are not urgently undertaken, we would not be able to rule out the
possibility that the rest of the world might wake up one day and discover that
this large, unproductive territory called Nigeria has become one wide stretch
of empty space, devoid of humans or littered with decaying corpses? Is it that
human life has since totally lost its value before Nigerians or what? How far
should rational human beings tread on the path of mutual annihilation before
they realise that it is, perhaps, time to do a rethink, beat a retreat and
commence the homeward journey to self-reclamation?
