Some people don't just know what they are up to and 'what is up to them'. They created the problems, they promised the solutions yet, they don't cease to compound those problems.
'Now that it has dropped from their hands' and they could no longer contain the consequences of their own evil practices (nigbati o si ti bo lowo won ti agbara won o si ka ise ibi won mo), they should be remorseful and take responsibility for their evils and correct their wicked ways.
Fear of uncertainty and insecurity had robbed many people of their humanity.
That is why 'those who need not to steal at all' so to say, are engrossed in the habit of stealing what they already have in excess.
That is why those who are given power to protect others turnaround to use the power to victimize people they were raised and empowered to lift up in some places.
When the people that smuggled the king's golden crown in the palace at midnight also came at daylight assuring the king saying they will help him find out the thieves to recover the stolen crown; who is fooling who?
How insensitive and foolish could a people be? If it is obvious that the people you are following don't mean well for you, must you keep following them? At least, you can choose not to be deceived no matter the strategies of the known deceivers.
Never again must you fall into the hands of those that play on your mind to defraud and oppress you. Do not be insensitive to the strategies of people that see you as their 'mumu', 'mugun' and 'maga'. Steven Biko hinted: "The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." They offer unsuspecting people a thousand dollar to rob them of a billion dollar. They usually try to make their victims see them as good people to keep them in perpetual slavery.
'Eni ti e ti mo wipe ole ni ti e tun fi se akapo owo, ti o ba kowo yin je ko jebi yin rara o'; (i.e. Someone you already know is a thief that you put in charge of the treasury has been given licence to loot the treasury and you have no case against him). Once you know how a people are, there is no point committing unto them what is beyond their capacity to handle. Some folks don't just have what it takes to deliver honesty, truthfulness, fairness, accountability, justice, peace, security and collective advancement.
Nobody have the power to rule over you, abuse your human right, defraud your commonwealth and destroy the future of your society than the people you give the power to do so. If any people under unfair and unjust people say enough is enough right now, so it is. "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed." _Martin Luther King.
