My father had the money to send me to the best hospitals in the world. However, that did not matter when I was shot. All I needed at that time was a hospital in Nigeria which would treat my gunshot wounds. All I needed was for the Nigerian society to function properly. My father’s money could not help me when I most needed help. How cruel can life be? The decadent system ate me up, just like that! It came knocking on my door and I had nowhere to hide. I became yet another innocent victim like so many others before me. I was too young to die. I had dreams of creating a better society by building a great new Nigeria. My parents were heartbroken. Nobody could comfort them. Their only child had died in spite of their efforts to create a haven for him. It was a tragedy. They felt so helpless. My death was their worst nightmare! So, that’s my story! If you, Dear Reader, do nothing to create a positive social change in Nigeria then you can be sure that the decadence will one day invade your life, or the lives of your family members, or friends. The decadence in the society is not a respecter of persons. I was too young to die but DECADENCE said it did not matter. I was an only child but DECADENCE said, SO WHAT?! I was from a wealthy family but DECADENCE couldn’t care less! My father thought he had done all that mattered to ensure my safety, but DECADENCE outsmarted him! I had great dreams for a great new Nigeria; nevertheless, DECADENCE came knocking on my door and shot me dead in cold blood!

Prologue “When one sees his friend walking with his enemy, he should beware of both of them.” 34 African Proverb My prayer is that GOODNESS will flourish in Nigeria instead of DECADENCE. Please saturate the whole society with GOOD- NESS. Dear Reader, if the masses are not secure, nobody else is. A nation is as strong as its weakest link. Please, do something now to change the status quo. Do something now to create a safer Nigeria for all. Do something now to ensure that my death was not in vain. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! DO SOMETHING NOW! Start by telling my story to other Nigerians. Then do something about it! Let GOODNESS reign supreme in Nigeria. GOD BLESS NIGERIA! Thank you.
