Morals are the social, cultural and religious beliefs or values of an individual or group which tells us what is right or wrong. They are the rules and standards made by the society or culture which is to be followed by us while deciding what is right. Some moral principles are: Do not cheat.

The society we are now is fast setting itself ablaze on many fronts, it behoves on us all to check this moral Rot’s before it consume us all. Ritual killing (s) and internet fraud is now a common rhetoric we all can’t do without. Everybody wants to make it big devoid of hard work,dedication and the known perseverance that follow suits in our world where value and good manner is celebrated.

I remember when we’re young & growing up, you can’t keep any property that is not yours in your parents house especially pencil and Pen’s. You’re going to account for it and how you got them.

Today,young boy of school age now rides cars of higher price without the work to show for it. Our parent’s are part of this, our society is breeding terror that may consume us later. We must all condemn any sort of wealth that’s not explainable or accountable. We’ve heard of blood money, Yahoo plus and now the trending issue of PANT for wealth. When will we start thinking outside the box to know that healthy society is what we need to make it functional and well sort of. We can’t afford to be aiding and abetting criminals.

Let us appreciate good work’s, dedication to services and moral values.

“We have to fight this crime in three ways; one is through advocacy to enable the perpetrators, particularly the youth to change their mindset. Again, parents and guardians must ask questions and query all wealth got illegally by their children and wards. The traditional institution and government should also come up with policies and programmes to tackle the crime.”
