The societal cynical obsession towards unharmful non-issues…

— But there's hardly any energy about how wrong and barbaric sexual harassment and abuse is ETC.

The despicable things that make this country a shithole are normalized, but Nigerians would demonize people for things they shouldn't be demonized for.

When people are obsessed with policing and ostracizating themselves for nonmalignant trivialities, it beclouds the reality of their suffering, and removes the gaze from challenging the oppressor, to challenging the oppressed.

It is always the case that whenever an individual is abused, Nigerians devote their time to utilize their skewed morality to scrutinise the abused — victim-blame and shame, turning a blind eye to the abuser.

The government mirrors this trait because most of its constituents comes from the society itself. That's why we have a government that would rather flex muscles on the vulnerable citizens than tackle the issues that envelop the country.

Religion and tradition plays a part in rendering this country a hub of lamentable hypocrisy where people are hellbent on strangling the necks of the vulnerable.

The most pervasive is rape. You'd hear things like, "what did the girl wear", "what she was doing there", etc removing the attention from the gruesome crime.

That's why when a gay person is abused and lynched, it is always the question of the person's sexuality than the crime. People even pluck out laws (which are prejudicial in itself) to justify their bigoted views of the person's sexuality.

That's why a lady showing her back caused an uproar in the north — because she is vulnerable. But if a powerful man breaks multiple Islamic laws, excuses are thrown around — from the same poor northerners.

Also, the same north ass-lick evil leaders.

There are so many examples. Everyone makes this place a devastating hell for each other, and even gets carried away by doing so. It is so normalised. An atmosphere of unwarranted wickedness!

We really need to reevaluate and refurbish the concept of right and wrong in this society, because it is skewed to make people suffer for simply existing, having choices in their personal lives, and also suffer the more on top the abuse they face.

Nigeria is a country where people are ruthless in holiness and callous in piety. If you think our religious and traditionally powered societal fabric makes us any better, I urge you to wake up from your deplorable fantasy.

Equality, justice and tolerance mean nothing to millions of Nigerians. All I see is oppressive, sanctimonious people searching for a vulnerable person to destroy.

The psyche of the average Nigerian is very regressive in every way imaginable, and the government is basically citizens with extra power. The problem with Nigeria is extremely deep. WE ARE IN HELL.
