PEACE AND THE ORGY OF VIOLENCE IN LAGOS – By Tunde Olatunji
That Lagos, a state in Southwest – Nigeria, is one of the top 10 economies in Africa (bigger than the economy of so many African countries) and the economic nerve center of Nigeria is a thing of pride and a testament to our industry.
Lagos is not just south west’s economic backbone, it is the heartbeat of our socioeconomic renaissance and an integral part of our collective pride and heritage as a people.
The destruction and orgy of violence largely recorded in Lagos and other parts of Southwest is a destruction of our economy and the desecration of our land. It is an onslaught on our collective patrimony and pride.
When the crisis is over, it is our people that will live with the damaging consequences and it is our land that will bear the scars.
No responsible person will be against peaceful protests and demand for a better Nigeria by the youths and genuine protesters but not the violence, looting and destruction of Lagos or any part of our land.
We are known to be peace loving people.
We are people of great values.
Please, let’s think deeply and apply wisdom.
Let’s shun violence and unite to restore peace.
May God bless and heal our land.
Hon. Tunde Olatunji is the Chief Whip, Osun State House of Assembly.
