The tale of the report that grew legs

Almost four years later, this issue just won’t die and to this day, we are still going around in circles. Although quiet about this issue, the nation doesn’t find this amusing at all.

A few journalists have written about this, a few brave members of the public too, to no avail. The only problem with this matter, which we all would rather not talk about is, until it comes to a conclusion, the incessant questions are not going to stop anytime soon.

It is part of our culture to accord respect to the departed. It matters not how the person was; whether they were criminals, spouse abusers or hopeless drunks, when their date with their Maker comes, we all show compassion and kindness, especially to their loved ones and forget about everything else. Even if they owed you, most times we just write off the debt then carry on with our lives life. Dead people tell no tales. Speaking of the departed and tales, most times when a person departs, instead of accepting the sad situation (we are all going to die someday), we go into denial mode then play blame games. In this country, if I may add, it is almost accepted that 90% of dead husbands get ‘killed’ by their wives while all wives die of natural deaths. We love conspiracies.
