The rise of Money Ritual among the Nigerian Youth: Who is to blame?

Four days ago, they was a report of the Nigerian Police nabbing three suspected ritualists in their early twenties in possession of charms another related ritual items. This is coming in the wake reports that most Nigerian boys are now using their loved ones (most especially girlfriends) as sacrifice to make money.  The outburst of ritual killings has become a pathetic matter of concern with body parts cut off and butchered in rooms like meats in abbateur.

While the society is seriously against it and they have been rallying cry of how evil these acts are, who should we blame? Is it the parents of the children who perpetrates these evil acts, the government who have not set up a good country for the youth or the society at large? This menace is definitely a circle revolving round the parents, government and society.

Evil is Evil!  You cannot condemn one and leave the other because you indulge in it or your psych has an agreement to that school of thought.

In all totality, there is no justification to why one should kill what he or she cannot create for some bloody self gratification. One can only wonder, how many people have done this successfully?

Those male / female people we know that went missing could be as a result of this fate.

It can happen to anybody regardless of gender purely depending on who is presumed to be needed. If the "baba" (supposed herbalist) should ask for a male, do you think you will be spared? Or do you think males have not been killed for ritual purposes? 

 In as much as hook ups are on a high side with more risk in Nigeria! Many of these cases most recently have been perpetrated by their so called lovers. It's beyond them "want to chill with the big boys!" Are these boys big boys?

 Where are the boys running to? Why allow this societal pressure get to them this bad? Don't we believe in working and timing? Why kill and steal? Is that how depleted in intelligence of finance we are? Life is far ahead of us as GOD permits.

In our society, as much as "how did you make this money?" is termed "Jealousy" and

What do you do to fund this lifestyle? is termed " E concern you"  (in Nigerian local parlance) all supported by all of us wondering how it all came about.

As parents, you gladly accept expensive gifts from a child you ought to still be providing for without even thinking to know the source, Why do we make noise to cry fowl when the evidence of our societal negligence comes to play? Why are we asking as though we know not were the fault is coming from?

Government shares in the blame for the poor economic state, no progressive policies to Foster growth of youths or curtail some these excesses. 

Yet, killing ourselves is far from running from this drift. It's high time, we all raise a strong voice to watch out and put a stop to this and as well the Senate and State Assemblies look into a bill to curtail this as quickly as possible, using the ones caught as scapegoats for the other populace.

Money is a driver, Money is sweet, money is a defense, money is ability, money is very important,

Yet not every money should be yearned for. There is money through hardwork and integrity which are been made out there on a daily basis.

Let's not kill our conscience nor lead the ones coming after us astray with this ugly trend of rushing life.

Let's work and pray, we go they alright.

It is cold outside they said, indeed, it is truly cold out there!
