A Bleeding Nation!!!
We wake up daily to the tragic happenings all over the country and it seems each day eems to be more gloomy than the previous one. Fear, terror and hopelessness has taken over the country as the masses now live in fear. No one knows where the next disaster will strike.
Rather than things to ease up, the reverse is the case. There has been a great spike in killings, kidnapping, destruction and mayham in the past few days.
The days continue to grow darker and our dear nation is ticking time bomb waiting to go off anytime from now.
In the past few days, innocent undergraduates have been murdered in cold blood, our own airforce killed its soldiers in a case of mistaken identity, Boko Haram hoists it's flag in Kaura, Niger state, Bandits kidnapped travellers in Osun State, Several lives was lost in Zamfara, lives were lost in Enugu state and so on. The gruesome list is endless.
According to StatiSense ranking in 2020, Nigeria is the 3rd most terrorized nation. Today, I wonder what position we would occupy presently.
One cannot help but wonder at the role the government is playing in all of these. What proactive measures is the government taking? What measures is the government putting in place to ensure the safety and protection of lives and properties?
Strangely, it all seems there is an escalation in the terrorists activities ever since the past dealings of Isa Patanmi, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy was exposed. Since we have been calling for his resignation, some unscrupulous persons are clearly making their stance as well. They are clearly saying "Isa Patanmi is going no where"
Sheikh Gumi even had the audacity to say that 'removing Isa Patanmi from office means we are asking for trouble.' This points to the salient point that Isa Patanmi was clearly appointed by the Government despite knowing the full details and extent of his dealings with terrorists. It was a calculated move. In other words, THIS PRESENT ADMINISTRATION HAS SOLD US OUT.
El-rufia once lambasted the then President, Goodluck Jonathan for refusing to negotiate with Boko Haram when they abducted the Chibok girls. That shows the mentality and level of IQ of our leaders.
The level of confidence these miscreants have is appalling. They are on the prowl, acting like they own the land. They act like they are untouchable- this is becoming the reality in every sense.
Can you recall in October 2020, when the United States special forces mounted an operation in Nigeria to rescue their citizen that was in the shackles of some armed men? Is there any crime if we ask for help from external bodies? It is so obvious we are way in too deep and one cannot help but arrive that the conclusion that terrorism and banditry is very much sponsored in this country.
A state of emergency should be declared in states that are plundered, pillaged and ravaged by the evil forces of terrorism and banditry. State of emergency should be declared in States like Niger, Kaduna, Enugu, Zamfara etc.
I believe we can still salvage what is left. We shouldn't let the country disintegrate before we start looking for corrective measures. Prevention, they say is better and less expensive than cure. If we wait till things get to a head, it will be too late because at that time, a bandage wouldn't be able to fix a bullet wound. It would have been too late and the labors of our heroes past will be in vain. God save Our Motherland.
