in the Niger Delta and Saki Biam in Benue State and the Nigerian Army was called in to put out the fire of rebellion. But like bush fire not completely put out, the Niger Delta got out of hands in spite of President Umaru Yar’Adua’s ingenious scheme of buying peace by giving out money to the youths of the Niger Delta and sending many to schools at home and abroad. The policy was continued by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Unless there is a new direct approach to the problem, the issue of poverty will continue as an affliction in the region. It is heartening to know that some our leaders have realized that education is the key to finding a solution to the problem. By this I am not suggesting and supporting the spate of the establishment of state universities when the fundamental and solid foundations of primary and secondary education are not there.
We are at war and the president should send a proclamation to the National Assembly declaring an emergency and a state of siege on the nation. There is need to change the pussyfooting leadership of the armed forces. The security forces also need to do more to capture all these kidnappers, herders, and cattle rustlers terrorizing Nigerians. Examples of arrested terrorists need to be made through swift and sure punishment.
Every adult should be allowed to own arms for defence.
