According to him, citizens are no longer reacting with the level of urgency such tragedies deserve, adding that people have adjusted to the “darkness” surrounding the nation.

Cabasa further lamented that instead of uniting against violence and injustice, Nigerians often divide themselves along political, religious, ethnic, and tribal lines whenever tragic incidents occur.

“it’s so sad now that we have gotten used to evil. Nigerians have gotten used to the k’||!ng. We have adjusted to the darkness that has covered this country. The government of the day is not taking action and it’s so sad that even when we are supposed to speak up people pick political divides; we make it religious, we make it ethnical and we make it tribal. An innocent teacher was b3hEAded and the next thing we keep adjusting.”
