I was aware that sachet water were thrown at Mr. Obasanjo at Ota by some market women. I was aware that Mr. Babangida's sleepers were stolen at a mosque on a Friday. How the first changed to stone and the second to a slap beat my imagination. In any case, neither the stoning nor the slapping returned our looted fund. The duo move freely. The Boko Haram victims have mainly been the innocent and the underpriviledge. No key political figure has been hit. If daring means transfer of aggression on the innocent, it may be better not to do so. But the Tunisian, Egyptian, Libyan and on-going Syrian resistance show us what it means to dare. The gathering at Ojota in January 2012 over fuel price increase shows the opposite of how to dare. The question remains: Who bells the cat? God save Nigeria.

Who dare bell the cat. uh? Obasanjo was stoned when caught in traffic. Boko Haram was able to get their politicians. Desperate people do desperate things. Even Babangida was slapped.
We need more daring Nigerians to act in concert.

Have you read Animal Farm written by Mr. Eric Arthur Blair, better known as George Orwell? He described a meeting where rodents gathered to discuss how to tame the cat. They reasoned that a single bell hung over the neck of the cat when asleep would ring out each time it moved. The sound of the bell would alert the rodents of the cat's movement. Fine as the solution was, it was not feasible. Why? No rodent would risk its life to bell the cat. The money bag politicians are surrounded by paid thugs, hired killers, arsonists, etc. Who dares these politicians already signs his death warrant. I cannot see how jungle justice works to mitigate the current trend.

God save Nigeria.
