In a bid to raise awareness nationally about the nagging issue of mob justice, ofilispeaks.com and sleevesup.org are organizing an Anti-Mob Justice Awareness Contest to help spark the creation of media posters and radio jingles that can be used for a sustained nationwide campaign on this issue.
October 5, 2012 was the day when four boys lost their lives to the senseless act of Mob Justice in Nigeria. Their deaths shocked our nation and sparked debate across the globe. Again 4 suspected robbers were also burnt to death in Mushin, Lagos by a mob crowd. These acts are a clear signal that there is still a lot to be done to eradicate the evils of Mob Justice from Nigeria.
The Mob Justice Prohibition Bill Petition was largely successful in getting the message for a specific law against Mob Justice to National Assembly Senators and House Rep members with a good chance of making the floor of the house. But we don’t want to stop at just a law. And not that you need it, but over N200,000 will be won by entrants…below are the contest details:
THE CONTEST VISION
The objective of the #NeverAgainNG Anti-Mob Justice Contest 2012 is to create a National awareness among Nigerians in the community (village and city) about the dire consequences and evils of mob justice. The purpose of the contest is to garner a universal voice against Mob Justice and its various forms to the citizens of Nigeria.
We hope that by focusing the creativity of many Nigerians on this particular problem…we would be able to cast a lasting blow to the practice of Mob Justice in Nigeria and potentially across Africa.
Winning entrants both posters and jingle would be featured on National radio stations* and various print-media* as an ongoing campaign to sensitive Nigerians against participating or promoting mob justice.
