Crime does not pay! Daddy Lucky Dube. In Nigeria, crime pays! Crime pays because the system is unwilling and ill prepared to tackle it. Crime pays because the proceeds of crime are warmly embraced by the society, including the church. Crime pays when the Judiciary is compromised and the rest of us accept it as a fact of life. Crime pays when the church, our moral sanctuary is being used to launder ill gotten money; when men of God readily accept houses abroad from corrupt public and bank officials. Crimes pays when politicians loot their ways to higher offices and nothing happens. Crime pays when Boko Haram terrorists are now the new bride in town and their sponsors are waiting to collect a hefty bride price. We have to look at our attitude towards Money as it has become a god that we all - from peasant to president - worship. God save us!
