Godwin Sogolo Addresses Nigeria's Moral Value Erosion

The article, authored by Godwin Sogolo, addresses the significant erosion of moral values in Nigeria, arguing that Nigerians are increasingly desensitized to wrongdoing. It traces the decline back to the educational system, particularly at the University of Ibadan, which taught moral philosophy but failed to emphasize practical applications for cultivating and transmitting these values.

The relentless pursuit of wealth has overshadowed moral considerations, reducing human worth to economic value. This shift has led to a disturbing acceptance of situations that should provoke moral outrage, such as violence and greed.

The article warns that this moral apathy threatens the fabric of society, as the capacity for moral shock diminishes and human sympathy wanes.
