Human Right - Non-existent in Nigeria Jerry | Nov 9th, 2006
As far as i am concerned, the rights of individuals in Nigeria are not guaranteed. The rule of law also is not being observed. And our emerging democracy is dying at such a tender begining. There are so many examples that we can site. Two days ago, i was watching a News posting on AIT and behold, i saw 4 police men brutally hitting a 'poor civilian' for attempting to disrupt an election. We also have several cases, we have the case of ASARI DOKUBO, who has been held for no right justification over alleged militarisation of youths in the Niger Delta and other related activities carried out by the group; we have the recent rulings of the National Assembly, Courts and law makers over rulership and governorship in Anambra State, Plateau State and Ekiti State. These few examples, definitely highlights that in Nigeria, the law is not followed and the rights of people as contained in the Constitution is not respected, talk less of our nascent democracy growing. What a Folly?
