Our young people do not find people to look up to anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The speaker said it was important for everyone to speak out against injustice and tyranny even if they were called troublemakers.<\/p>\n<p>She said, a bold transition must embrace audacity and innovation. They have called me troublesome. Although, it is never enjoyable to be called troublesome. I never set out to provoke for it\u2019s sake. But I refuse to silence myself for the fear of what I might inadvertently provoke. It has always been important to me to say what I believe, to call out injustice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFederal and state security dragging journalists to prison is tyranny. A journalist ill-treating his domestic staff is tyranny. The rape of young boys and girls is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/02\/23\/uniben-staff-celebrate-exit-of-mischievous-heartless-and-stone-cold-tyrant-director\/\">tyranny<\/a>. It is tyranny when state governments do not pay pensioners until they slump and die as broken people. The physical harassment of lawyers and some some judges is tyranny. The use of the law by some people to oppress the poor people is tyranny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adiche said Nigerians must be fair in their criticisms before peace can thrive. She said they should become responsible before holding the leaders responsible.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cAs long as we refuse to untangle the knot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/25\/2023-itll-be-great-injustice-if-i-dont-contest-osinbajo\/\">injustice<\/a>, peace cannot thrive. If we don\u2019t talk about it, we fail to hold leaders accountable and we turn what should be transparent systems into ugly opaque cults.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experience made be think there\u2019s something dead in us, in our society; a death of self-awareness and ability for self-criticism.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s need for resurrection. We cannot avoid self-criticism but criticise the government. We cannot hide our own institutional failure while demanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/14\/2023-apc-group-holds-rally-for-fair-transparent-presidential-primary\/\">transparency<\/a> from the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her closing remarks, she advocated for an uncorrupted judicial system and called on the NBA to leverage technology in judicial process and the administration of justice in the country.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cNigerians are disillusioned because they know of the decline of professionalism in some sections of the legal profession. As the NBA continues to fight the abuse of power, it must also look inward not to be corrupted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne way is to simplify legal procedure simpler. We deny justice when we delay justice. Technology should also be used. It is time for the full use of technology in the administration of justice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chimamanda Adichie, Award-winning novelist has stated that\u00a0Nigerians do not have enough leaders to look up to in the current system.
