Just saw an anti-jungle justice Ad Campaign by the government of Nigeria on Linda's blog. Was I impressed by the ad? Very indifferent. What is the purpose of the ad? To stop people from taking laws into their own hands. Very understandable. However, wouldn't the government show more commitment to eradicating this barbaric 'justice system' by addressing the real issues? Why do people take laws into their hands in order to protect their lives and properties? The average Nigerian doesn't trust the Nigerian police force and justice system. Simple and short.
Instead of allocating millions of Naira on this campaign, the government should do the right thing. Tackle the real issues. Revamp the Nigerian police force and the justice system. Start paying these guys competitive salaries and invest in the training of staff of these critical systems to get Nigerians to start trusting them once again. Afterall, we all know that of the millions that was allocated to this campaign, only a small fraction was actually used to produce this ad. Where would the rest go? Your guess is as good as mine.
Nigeria has a long way to go but I believe we will get there. Instead of wasting funds on senseless ad campaigns, let us tackle the real issues: Corruption, corruption, corruption in every sphere of society. Government, abeg stop chopping our money and allocate the tax payers money to provide basic necessities for the common man. Nigerians are dying every day while private jet sales to Naija sky-rockets everyday. God help the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
FYI: For those that think I keep this blog for traffic, please do a rethink. Do you actually think I am so stupid as to think I can make money from venting about political issues? There are other ways to make money my friends. I use this as a medium to air my frustrations about the banana republic called Nigeria. Finito!
