Let us stand back to look at our nation. Let us rid our minds of bias and politics. We have the world’s worst security crisis here today. It’s been like that for a while. But trust us, especially the political leaders, not to acknowledge. For them, it is about looking good for the cameras. But we should all by now, feel the closing apocalypse. Don’t we all feel hemmed in? Rich and poor, from any part of Nigeria, adherent of any religion or none.
What about Iraq? When last, since the US deescalated their involvement in that country, did we hear the usual things we hear when the country was at war? That country was targeted by the Americans, Brits, Canadians and other usual suspects, over the false pretext that she harbored weapons of mass destruction. The Westerners wanted a war, Bush got one, not minding how many women and children died. Obama repeated the same in Libya. Iraq has been largely peaceful of late.
This is an incredibly sad and abnormal situation but I think the first thing to do is for us to acknowledge exactly where we are if we shall ever find solutions to our security quagmire. Four states in Nigeria have had to totally shut down schools – and these are states with educational disadvantages. In Katsina, where Buhari is from, the entire state was overrun just about two week ago. It was in that same state that former Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal, Mamman Nasir – 90 years old and blind – and a whole traditional ruler that he was, was kidnapped and traumatized, dying shortly after he managed to escape in 2019.
