Well, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has now published names and photographs of some convicted sex offenders on the Nigeria Sex Offender Register.

The DG of NAPTIP, Dame Julie Okah-Donli, shared a list over the weekend via Twitter. She said the agency is determined to start naming and shaming all sex offenders, and more names of sex offenders would be published once they are convicted.

You see, this is how hypocritical the world is. All of a sudden, people want to “fix” racism and be “kind and polite” to others, but they are STILL all in when it comes to listing people online to shame and scorn.

It’s all gas and no brakes!

It seems more like they are simply changing targets rather than fixing or updating their behaviors. We are the new target of course.

Posted the following on the comments section, though I doubt it’ll pass the moderator:

Why stop there? Why not post a disclaimer saying “If you see any of these people, kill them”? As shown in the US, isn’t that the point?
