THE problem of the world is injustice. No matter how  hard justice is  suppressed, it rears it’s head until it is appeased. It can take decades or even centuries, in the biblical account, it took the Israelites  over four hundred years. Justice  is when affairs of life are handled dispassionately; no favouritism, no sentiment of any kind – be it filial, ethnic or religion – in short, it is doing what is right. The late Alhaji Maitama Sule – God bless his soul – addressing a delegation to President Mohammadu Buhari not too long before his passage noted thus: only justice can resolve Nigeria’s problems. The man stated the obvious. I will advise that the President and his team go back and replay that video. We have not been fortunate to have a leader who will rule with justice – fairness to all – in this country and he told Buhari that if he wants to succeed, he must rule with justice to all. Has Mr President yielded to his advise, in the over two years  that he has been in office? The answer is in the public domain.
