We live in a society that often majors in the minor and neglects the major, only to express shock when the consequences of our misplaced priorities unfold. This is not just a Nigerian problem, it is a global pattern.
Regarding the recent incident involving a UNIZIK undergraduate allegedly assaulting a lecturer, we must resist the urge to sensationalize the event without deeper reflection. A society gets the kind of young people it cultivates. While we must unequivocally condemn and reprimand the behavior (not the individual), we must also ask ourselves: How was she socialized?
