To believe that in matter of life and death,men would abograte power to themselves not only to decide, but ultimately extinguish such a life reflect sadly on our level of development and value for life. Agreed this happened some years ago, our pyshic and the way we handle life in general has not relected that we value life.
What the these guys(Babaginda, Bali) and other should know is that there is none of us immune from death, What they done is just send some people earlier than themselves. I wrote an article on the day that Ken Saro-Wiwa was murdered, that Abacha had just sent Ken ahead of himself, 3yrs later he headed for the great beyond.
Maybe if we are reflect more on our tenure here on earth, the report other we say of us and the account we would have to give to that who brought here, we might all leave this place, a better place.
