An Exemplar

Sir:

The way I understand it, I am the only adult Nigerian
to be so opportuned as to capture my childhood innocence
and transfer it into Nigerian adulthood. I am used as
a symbol of justice, at least a standard in certain
cases--seeing how bad things had become in my homeland--
and while others can afford the luxury of lax morality
I cannot. There are benefits, however, to living a moral
life ever minute of the day. And those benefits go
only, sir, to the moral.
