Read Akin Osuntokun's Piece: All Have Sinned

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God is a quotation from the Bible that speaks to contemporary political history of Nigeria. I crave your kind indulgence to cite a few more; give a narrative and hold it as a mirror to the nation.
Here we go: ‘Let him who has not sinned cast the first stone; Judge not, for that measure which you judge shall you be judged; The cleanest among us is like a filthy rag before God; Remove the beam sticking from your eyes before pointing at the speck in another man’s eyes; If you O Lord could mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand?
