Insecurity did not start under Buhari, but the fact that it continues unabated is a clear indication of a failure of govt which brings to the fore, the question as to what has become of the billions of naira appropriated annually for fighting insecurity.

In ‘Buhari: The Politics Of Age’, the late Professor Tam David-West quoted me as follows: “Nigeria, in its current dire straits needs Buhari more than he needs Nigeria.” -The Nation on Sunday, September 28, 2014,”.

These range from girl-child education, to the Almajiri system, and from women empowerment to the economic viability of individual Northern states. Kidnapping has become so rampart hordes of people are daily being kidnapped, robbed, raped or killed outrightly. Also, banditry has become so commonplace and menacing, the Nigerian airforce has had to be deployed to fight them in states like Niger and Zamfara. ”.

It also explains why life in the country has become short and brutish, with daily reports of gun men killing at will in every part of the country though much worse in the North. Nor could anybody have conjectured, only a few years back, that anybody can be demonstrating against President Buhari anywhere in the North where he has a cult following. That exactly is what intractable insecurity in the North has, unfortunately, birthed.

The result of all these is that insecurity in the country, but particularly in the North, cannot be worse than it presenttly is . It is at its apogee and urgent steps must now be taken if Nigeria is not to become another Somalia or Syria, even Libya.
