We do that here. With the ceaseless carnage on our roads, deaths by pipeline explosions, we appear a violence-desensitized people. We lack respect for death. Think of the many ways in which we let out blood in this country today. Besides the foregoing, murder of all kinds is on the rise, particularly that of ritual.
Urban violence thrives in happenstances that are akin to ethnic cleansing.
But death is far from fun. It is ugly and unattractive. We need to return to those higher values that place emphasis on morality and human life. The writer is a Lagos based commentator on national affairs Established 1947. Chief Harold Dappa Biriye.
