Warped Value System by Chidinma Perpetua Chikwelu

The robbers
If those greedy boys who attempted to rob a bank in Dubai had succeeded, by this time, their pictures will be all over the internet especially, the Instagram with the hashtags *#naGod.* *#OluwaIsInvolved.* *#BlessGod* *#ThankYouJesus.*
Those of us who will question the sudden source of wealth will be tagged losers and jealous haters.
And some who do their hustle legitimately but see no bright future in it will feel they are cursed. They will start running from one prayer house and spritualist to another...
In the meantime, the "lucky boys" will begin to take chieftaincy titles. They will receive countless invitations to all kinds of events. They will move with convoy. The police IG and commissioner will assigns tens of policemen to protect them.
The young ones will watch with admiration. They will wish to become like these guys. And why not when they see the society doesn't care about the source of anyone's wealth? And off they go committing all manner of crimes.
Some young women have graduated from prostitution which they call "runs" to eating the feaces of Arab men in Dubai. Anything for the money. Instagram and the society will know they have "arrived". Who no follow na mumu.
All these is as a result of bad parenting and moral decadence in the society. And when you talk about morals they ask you, 'according to whose standard?'.
