Beyond Rhetorics of Words, Barrister Natasha Hadiza Akpoti is Making a Big Difference | Isah Bala
It is Haile Selassie who posits that, "throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph."
Most of the problems we have in this part of the world cannot be unconnected to the fact that the oppressed decided to keep quiet, they refused to protest against the injustice of the oppressors when it mattered most for the fear of the power that be.
In the face of injustice and avarice, few altruistic people usually emerge who stand tall to be the voice of the voiceless, calling for not will benefit them alone but what will benefit the masses not minding their safety that is beyond the redline.
As Desmond Tutu holds, "silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor", amidst all odds, Barrister Natasha Hadiza Akpoti has refused to be cowed.
While many are still in doubt of what could be her real intention for spending her hard-earned resources, time, energy and whatnot for the resuscitation of Ajaokuta steel, she continues to prove that we will never wake up to see Nigeria of our dream if we continue to whine and hurl tantrums at our leaders without being ready to take the bull by its horn.
Beyond the rhetorics of words, Barrister Natasha Hadiza Akpoti has shown the broad line of dichotomy between true activism and charade crusade beguiled to seek cheap popularity.
People have leveraged Ajaokuta steel to seek election and reelection while they quickly forget the bait they used to catch the big fish as soon as they get hold of their greedy quest.
Barrister Natasha Hadiza Akpoti Natasha has not only shown that gender, age and ones background have nothing to do with doing what others think is impossible, she represents a paradigm shift from the status quo and has proven beyond measure that we must not only think of what we can get from a cause but the big difference we can make to unshackle many from avoidable hardship.
Through thick and thin, many huddles have been crossed, old orders have been defied, new records have been set but we are not unaware of those who are still in doubt of the struggle and always cast aspersions at any given opportunity.
If it's easy to achieve a monumental change, Nelson Mandela wouldn't have spent 27 years in prison to end apartheid in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi wouldn't have been unduly persecuted and later assassinated, Martin Luther King Jr wouldn't have been killed, but the thorn of mending the wrongs wouldn't cowed Barrister Natasha Hadiza Akpoti from shouting for the voiceless to be heard and setting our society to attain its true meaning.
At the end of the struggle, even the cynical believers will rejoice the triumphant victory and every steps sacrificed for the journey will be duely recalled and accorded its due accolades.
