Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Who polices a fellow thief?

TF,

All the judiciary thieves, political thieves, economic thieves, academic thieves and religious thieves have one thing in common-stealing. In the case of Nigeria the thieves have no shame because their moral conscience is dead. 

In view of this quantum proportion of stealing and the alarming increase of thieves in Nigeria, there cannot be positive change. 

Segun Ogungbemi.

I dare say that the chief thief, the master minder -apologies to Gen. Diya- or the prime mover of the criminal Enterprise should police the rest of the brigands. There should be honor among thieves or else things will fall apart and the laws of the jungle will fall prey to the rule of law and its enforcement agents.

The chief of thieves must ensure that each of the gentlemen gets his due or fair share of the loot. The getaway driver is no less important than the amourer, and the shooter(s) no more important than the scout. A criminal Enterprise like most states is established by force and maintained by violence. The Chief, therefore must be ready to deploy force to maintain morale and discipline.

In a group of 40 thieves, who among them has the moral right to punish the 39 others?
