Is this 'second chance' for "Our Missing Kirikiri Neighbour?" Asks Remmy Nweke - ITREALMS

Today in Nigeria, the cases of Kwam1 and Comfort Emmanson have starkly exposed a two-tiered "second chance" system. REMMY NWEKE writes that one represents a privileged pass for the elite, while the other is a common person's hard-won justice.

In Nigeria, the term "second chance" carries a multifaceted and often contradictory meaning, shaped by the country's unique social, political, and cultural context. It is not a simple concept of forgiveness; rather, it is viewed through different lenses depending on the situation and the individuals involved.

Do you know who I am?:

The phrase "Do you know who I am?" is often used to assert one's importance or authority, typically in a confrontational or arrogant manner. 

This phrase is commonly employed by individuals who believe their status, position, or influence should grant them special treatment or recognition. However, this approach can escalate tensions and lead to uncomfortable situations.

Who will restore Warri back to its glorious days? A city that was once the pride of all Wafarians, is now a shadow of itself, rusty and reeking with aroma of poverty occasioned by systemic decline with people cocooned in deprivation and squalor. Warri is allusively known as Wafi, making the people and residents of the city identified as Wafarians.

I was close to tears during my recent visit where I toured the length and breadth of Warri, covering Deco Road, Okumagba Avenue, Okere Road, McCiver, Odion Road, Market Road, Cemetery Road, Iyara, McDermott Road, Warri-Sapele Road, Upper and Lower Erejuwa, Ajamogha, Esisi, and Warri Port. I stayed for over two months, the longest since my relocation to Lagos in 1984.
