A DRUG CARTEL AND BROTHEL



Let the dance begin, let the music play on the highest volume, and the clinging of glasses on the increase. These words are indeed coming out of the drug cartel and the brothel. Over the years, a drug cartel has been known to be a criminal organisation with the intention of supplying drug trafficking operations, while the brothel is per usual a den of prostitute where body is sold in exchange for money. In a simple term, sex is made in exchange for money.

The Mexican government in her bit to reduce drug trafficking some years back, waged war against the Lords of the cartels. She made effort to put an end to the powerful drug cartels rather than on preventing drug trafficking which was left to US functionaries. As much as some have not been nailed, some were nailed and hands are still on deck. A brothel and a cartel sleep side by side, complementing each other, and it's been said that it's a social fallacy to concur that some people at the helms of affairs refuse to believe that the destruction of the two in our countries will remain impossible so far some government stakeholders are involved in the act,  as well as seeing patronizing the businesses.

The edge of a sharp sword is never sharpened until the goldsmith had worked on it to make the warrior have all battles won. Winning the war lies in how many heads that roll,  and the blood spilled. The examples of a drug cartel and a brothel are used in this context to illuminate the day's intelligence on how some acts will be difficult to put an end to in our society which include corruption until aggressive steps are taken.

There was a brothel in the city of Calabar, and most times I wondered why the brothel existed for a long time that it was known as a specific spot for such. I was at the comfort of my room when a report reached me that the brothel stationed at the location had been pulled down by the new administration that took over the rulership of the state recently. I sighed, and some thoughts rushed down to my heart. The brothel was there all these while because some of the people in the past government were interested in what was patronized there. The governors there couldn't frown at the act probably to avoid stepping on toes, and these were my thoughts. On the other hand, I felt that the present administration frowned at it probably because the governor detest such act and a need to reface the image of the city arose.

A drug cartel can only be pulled down if people that make the laws are not the breakers in the dark alleys, and if the faces you see frowning at it are not the masked fellow celebrating it in their empires. A brothel is a place where we see human trafficking thrives, and a drug cartel, where drug traffickers exist, so a need to look deeper into all these for a change of ideology and also to face lift and transform the society is desperately necessary. War can be waged on these two if the palazzos, the timbers and calibres, the mahogany and obeses of our society are not involved in all these trafficking, else, in less than a short while, all these traffickers will be our next door neighbours and by then their root
must have spread and curbing the acts will be like another Ebola disease spreading like wildfire which could infect our kind.
