There is this act common among Nigerians,I don't know if others are guilty of it, I call it the pity syndrome. It's a diseases and we need healing. Someone commits a big crime that affects a whole lot of people and when it's time for them to face the consequences of their crime, they put up a pitiful state and guess what? Everyone falls for it.

We see this in Nollywood where the wicked personality who deprived others of happiness and had the best time gets pitied at the end of the movie and Still have a good time.
We saw this in Emma the kidnapper's case, a man that has made some children orphans, killed many and forcefully taken peoples money. When he was caught some Nigerians felt pity for him and requested for his release.
We saw this in the case of CEEC in big brother Nigeria, because of her bad attitude, she is disliked by her fellow housemates. Some viewers vote for her out of pity.
We see this among our leaders who steal from the countries money and go free.
We see this in different occasions in our everyday life.

What message are we passing to our kids and other observers?? "Do all the bad you wish to, when you are caught create a pitiful scene and you will go free"

This is so wrong and we need to get rid of that act now!!!!!! Let people face the consequences of their actions so others can learn from it.... Feeling pity is not the best emotion for a wrong doer.

Thanks for reading

The people who put up this pity act know it works and so they use it to manipulate others. Like you said, it's sad that people fall for it and beyond that, it's annoying.

Really annoying

The pity syndrome as you called it something that is rampant within the Nigerian society.

People do it for so many reasons. In my opinion, it happens because of our inability to seek true justice and equity.

I agree with you
It should be stopped
