I saw on the Facebook wall of Mr. Ode John shared on 15th December, 2021 about the great development happening in our main market and was widely celebrated. It is a celebration about the new face of our dear main market after the February 6th 2021 avoidable and animal-like destruction of hard-earned properties.
As I join hundreds of people in rejoicing for the new outlook of the market, it beats my imagination that we are rebuilding while the destroyers are growing and walking with bold face with no sense of guilt. The heartless destruction was not because the structures were outdated and needed to wear a new look. When we are happy that the market is wearing a new look and we have no way of refraining those heartless and malicious destroyers, they will come again in a more advanced way to destroy these fine structures. It is not a matter of positive declaration of faith- “it shall not happen or the affliction shall not rise the second time” but the reality check will reveal this my obvious concern and fear.
Remember! Nobody was punished for all that happened, so no one will think he is wrong. We need a new look of brotherliness and new look of love than a new look of buildings in our market. As much as I love these structure- am just afraid if there will be on fire again with a slightest provocation.
We must know that a cat in gloves will catch no mice and a society is as strong as its weakest member. I am not a pessimist, after all, a stopped clock is right twice a day. Congratulations for the new look, keep them coming.
