They are better off than us; Tribute to Nyaya victims

'He is better off; better than us'

In the movies '12 years a Slave', there was a scene where Thomas and Solomon (Chinwetel) were discarding the body of a fellow slave captive, who died trying to defend a mother of two. As his body is thrown into the raging water, Thomas utters above quoted words; in solemn sequence. 

That represents a situation where living is much more unpredictably frustrating than death. We are getting over hope. That represents the situation Nigeria is cascading into. 

A situation where those who died while they were trying to survive injustice and misrule will be better off. And as we discard their bodies we would say to ourselves: "They arr better off; better than us."
