The image above (from a programme of events that I came across recently) is another pointer to the many problems that we see in Nigeria today. You fix an event for 9am, and it states this.
On what basis should the chairman and any other functionaries not be seated at 9am?
It’s in these (seemingly) little things that we see the elitism, classism and authoritarianism that pervades our country.
This indirectly also teaches anyone else who finds himself/herself in similar “dignified” position to do/expect same.
We need proper (re)orientation as a people. We need to teach people that being in such a position is for service. We also (apparently) need to teach what service is.
