At 17!  I am pained!😟  Have you heard  or read the news of late?  I mean the latest killing by ritualist of about 17 years of age!  At 17 he already mastered the act of  killing😥  Not a fowl, Not a rat, Not a goat, Not a snake, But a Human.  At 17 he was  already a Commander In Chief of  a gang🤔  At 17, he is already in a relationship and had a girl friend without supervision😟  At 17, he didn't just set his victim up to be killed by an older person, rather, he did it himself  by strangling her neck without remorse!  We don't even kill a goat or a fowl by straggling: but to a human he did😔  At 17, he was so cruel that he could give orders for her head to be chopped off and roasted for ritual purpose.  How did he get the idea of killing to get rich at this age?🤔  Who inspired and led him into such?🤔  How comes he had no remorse or  pity for his victim?  What does he know about money and riches at just 17?  Kai! Who did this to us?😭  This boy didn't appear on earth, he was born. He was raised by someone, how did he come to this point?  No body wakes up to do such without a motivating factor. No one  commits such cruel and sacrilegious act without mentorship☹️   Who do we blame for this?  At age two 2, you would see children ordering their parents around and making mischievous demands, but the parents would smile and say "he or she is just a child."😳  At age three, children would decide what food they are to be fed, not on any medical grounds, but out of share foolishness and naughtiness, yet the parents would oblige them. Later on such parents would come up to bother  people with their avoidable issues which they refused to avoid😏.  The family is set on the table  to eat,  but your precious child who is just 7 years of age would insist on eating something else,  surprisingly, the ever kind parents who are so gracious, allow him or her to eat what he wants. Hmmmm!  When you correct them, they would say they are too young.  If you caution them, they would say you are being mean.  When you try to instill discipline in them, you get accused of  being cruel and heartless.  Now the child has become a menace to the society, the same society he or she is supposed to join hands to build.  The burden you should have borne by raising them well and fine, you failed but now you expect pastors and teachers to turn your bandits and hoodlumic children into a saint over night. Naaaa! it does work that way🙄  Let's not deceive ourselves, If they are too young to be corrected, they would be too corrupt to be commended.  If they are too young to be built, they would be too old to be reckoned with.  If they are too young to be taught, they would be too old to be tamed.  Parents  and guardians, we must arise oh!  Most Schools have now watered down their disciplinary principles just to accommodate some spoilt rich kids who lack good home training.☹️  Here we are; at 17, he is so encumbered with the thought of becoming rich that he does not mind killing a human to achieve his goal.  It all started somewhere, the home, then the school, and of course the society.  This is not what the government can cub or handle but what we all must rise to address.  It is the people that make up the government and not the other way round.  To the married and intending couples, keep the idea of having so many kids if you are not ready to take up responsibility for their well being and growth.  I can't stop to imagine, at 17 he wants to be rich to impress a girl or his friends. Perhaps to build houses and to show off by travelling here and there. And for that purpose, a lady's life has gone.😥  It's no time for the blame game, let's all put hands  on the deck and work things out now.
