The Uromi 16: Selective Outrage and the Road to Chaos.

I condemn in the strongest terms the brutal killing of 16 travelers of northern extraction in Uromi, Edo State. No one deserves to be killed in such a barbaric manner. Jungle justice has no place in any civilized society. A nation that allows its people to take laws into their own hands is a nation on the brink of collapse.

But beyond condemnation, we must ask hard questions. Not just about this incident, but about the deeper problems that led us here.

Why were they moving around with guns despite Nigeria’s fragile security situation, especially in Uromi, where kidnappings and killings have been allegedly linked to Fulani herdsmen? In a region already on edge, where distrust runs deep, why introduce firearms into an already volatile environment? Were these travelers innocent victims, or were they individuals who knowingly or unknowingly walked into the anger of a people who have long cried out for justice but were ignored?

For years, communities across Nigeria, especially in the South and Middle Belt, have raised alarm over attacks, massacres, and displacement linked to Fulani herdsmen. Farmers in Benue, Plateau, Enugu, Ondo, Delta, and Ebonyi have been slaughtered. Villages have been razed. Women have been assaulted, children orphaned, and entire communities wiped out. These are not isolated events. They have happened repeatedly, and each time, the government has either downplayed the incidents or responded with deafening silence.

Does it mean that the federal government has seen all the complaints about the Fulani herdsmen menace and deliberately chosen to keep quiet? Is this the benefit of a Muslim-Muslim presidency? Why does it take the killing of 16 northerners for the government to finally move with speed? Where was this urgency when hundreds of farmers were butchered in Benue? Where was this outrage when entire communities were displaced in Delta, Bayelsa, Enugu, and Anambra?

Are some lives more valuable than others?

The reaction to the killing of these 16 travelers is as swift as it is expected. The government is moving with unusual speed. The Northern Governors Forum wasted no time convening a meeting. Statements of condemnation are flying in from all corners. And yet, when Deborah was lynched and burned alive in Sokoto for allegedly insulting Prophet Muḥammad, the same level of outrage was missing. Where was this rage then?

Deborah was killed for blasphemy. Does that mean a Christian can kill any Muslim who insults Jesus? If not, then what exactly are we doing as a country? A society that applies justice selectively is not a just society. If jungle justice is wrong in Uromi, then it was also wrong in Sokoto. If the lives of the 16 travelers mattered, then the lives of the countless victims of Fulani herdsmen also mattered.

The truth is, the Nigerian government created this mess. For too long, it ignored the cries of the people. It allowed killers to walk free. It turned a blind eye to massacres. It permitted injustice to fester until the people lost faith in the system. Now, the same government is pretending to be shocked when chaos erupts.

The reaction to the alleged killing of 16 northern travelers should be the same reaction given to the hundreds of farmers in Benue slaughtered for sport and the southern communities wiped out by Fulani herdsmen. Justice must be blind. If the government wants to restore sanity, it must stop pretending to be asleep. It must arrest and prosecute killers—whether they are Fulani herdsmen, irate youths in Edo, or religious fanatics in Sokoto.

The real question is,
does Nigeria want justice?
Or does it want selective outrage? Because one leads to peace,
while the other leads to chaos .

Apparently, what we are struggling with is called a chicken and egg conundrum or a circular problem:

To adhere to principle over stomach, you need to leave poverty first - but to be able to leave the poverty, you first need to adhere to principle over stomach.

But the thing is, the Asians were once hungry too. But they had enough pride to believe first in their principles and chest their hunger, until they lifted themselves out of poverty in the greatest economic miracle the world had ever seen.

So ultimately, it always boils down to how badly we want a better life. If we want it as much as we claim we do, we will put that stomach away and stand on principle for once. But I suspect that as with almost everything else, the truth is that we just can't be arsed because we actually don't want it.

All we want is some food on our plate, some clothes on our backs, a controlled substance to ingest for merriment, a song to move our feet to, a bed to sleep in, and a warm body to fuck.

And a prayer for tomorrow to be just like today.

Peter Pan in 1 billion places.
