Baba Ijesha is us.
For the sake of getting myself into trouble as usual, this criminal is emblematic of who we are as a people. Our society’s degradation into primitiveness is way down from expected God’s standard.
To judge when you are not the almighty Jehovah is sinful. It will take you to Hell. I am on my way there on a rocket ship. So let me get my money’s worth.
A pedophile is who we are looking up to. A man that was accused of molesting a seven-year-old child is what is trending on our social media platforms. It’s a complete denial of the severity of his crime. The consequences of what lies in the future for our generation that look up to us to set the moral standards. We have turned what should be a warning into an example. And this we have done as a conscious choice.
Many would argue that Baba Ijesha has paid his debt to the society by going to prison. Agreed. But what decent society that wants the best for the children celebrate a man that molested a seven-year-old? We all saw this man in court. We watched the CCTV footage of his waywardness. Many would argue that he was set up. But the rat that eats the poison should have itself to blame.
Allowing him the platform to return as if nothing ever happened is our way of allowing our society to deecent into chaos and pandemonium. Our comfort and convenience should not destroy our morality. This is a sign of the horrible route we are traveling on.
Nobody is saying Baba Ijesha belongs to Igbo Irunmole. All we are saying is that it is wrong for us as a decent people to put this criminal on Oke Langbodo.
Ire ooo.
