Pst. Fatoyinbo of COZA And the Rest of Us

     How I hope people would carry placards against Ruga settlement. Which is an existential threat to a lot of people. If Pst. Fatoyinbo is a rapist, the "victim" should go to court and seek redress. If some people believe he should still be their Pastor, so be it. All these  energy should be directed at the real threat facing the nation.  This is simply diversionary. It is what the powers that be want.  A diversion.  When did the incident happened? When Fulani cattle rearers are busy taking over territories in the Middle belt and Southern Nigeria,  some people are not concerned but would rather go out to demonstrate against an accused Pastor.     
                                            
      Ordinarily, the courts are in a better position to abjudicate is on this kind of issues, if the alleged victim(s) so desires. It would have been all well and good if the nation is not beset with so many existential threats.  People should get their priorities right and not be busy twiddling their fingers while their houses are on fire. You don't have a fire on your rooftop and go to sleep. That people are so organized as to come out for a demonstration and protest, complete with placards in such short notice,  is a new one on me. Get me right,  I am not in support of any of the parties but that the Fatoyinbo saga is in danger of eclipsing issues like the Fulani herdsmen Ruga settlement bill. The energies of the people should be geared towards emancipating themselves from their collective oppressor.
