He Is My Son...


King: I stand to uphold the laws of this land. On no account should it be violated. Anyone found guilty of any crime shall never go unpunished!
Executioner: Yes His Majesty (he bows down and left)
                                ---Ж---
King: What's his crime?
Executioner: He stole N1000 from his neeighbour
King: According to the law guiding this land, I sentence him to 5years in Kirikiri maximum Prison.
Executioner: These ones were giving fake admission and they are now in their final years. What do we do to them...?
King: Expel them immediately!
Executioner: This man standing before you shot his biz rival dead in a biz deal.
King: He will die by hanging of course.
Executioner: This young man raped a 9year old girl.
King: No doubt about it, he is liable to life imprisonment.
Executioner: These men are kidnappers.
King: They will face execution.
Executioner: These "Corpers" manipulated their way to the camp. They claimed that they really want to serve their fatherland.
King: That is bullshit! They will serve 2yrs in prison for forgery...
                           ----Ж----
Executioner: Your Royal Majesty Sir,....eem...eem, Apologies Your Majesty, I bring this case before you... Your son was caught this morning raping two girls. He shot one of them dead before we could arrive at the crime scene. Perhaps she might have threatened to disclose what had happened.
                           ----Silence----
King: (rose from His throne...deemed his eyes at his son like one who is suddenly exposed to a dazzling sunlight and starred at him for some awful minutes)...hmm...hmm...hmm...I will take care of that.
                           ----Ж----
Executioner: (uneasy)...hmm Apologies Your Majesty...
King: Quiet!!!!!...he...is...my...son!!! (he walked away swiftly)
                             ----Crowd shouted----

Is this not the major problem we are having in this country and even in the world at large...Favouritism?.
