Breaking News: Pipeline Explosion killed Hundreds at Inoge Beach in Lagos

[Aderemi Ojikutu]

Tomorrow's headlines would capture this tragedy. Hungry, perplexed and
helpless people near Inoge beach in Amuwo local government area of
Lagos who privily made moves to take their own share of the "national
cake" (crude oil) albeit through unconventional method from a pipeline
that carries the "liquid gold" died in this unconventional explosion.

While our rulers are busy and deviously manipulating ways of extending
their tenure because of the "flowing honey" of crude oil which they
centrally preside over, the poor masses, having lost hope in the greedy
rulers for a better tomorrow, have devised ways to tap from the
"honey-flow".

This is not the first calamity , from Jesse in 1998 where over a
thousand people were similarly killed... when will this trauma end?
