In the past three years, in my day work with Synergos Nigeria, we had raised and highlighted the conflict of herdsmen and farmers long before the issue emerged in the early 2017. Sadly, the first casualty is always proper analysis. However, our work not only takes in other drivers such as climate change, social change, absence of government, dispersal of technology, including guns and mobile phones, as well as blatant political manipulation, and also coupled with media misrepresentation.
Whether in the Niger-Delta, the North-East, the South-East, wherever there is a substantial cluster of young people who are able to develop criminal industry outside the oversight of government and governance, all kinds of criminal activities take root. In the last decade of the 20th century, this would have been an offshoot of home invasions or armed robbery.
The president, who I deeply support, has to move beyond law and order and develop a strategy for using our diversity productively, mobilising young people for a more designed and framed space of national engagement beyond the absurdity of ethnic vilification, as well as religious bigotry, if there will be a multi-ethnic society. We need a new police service that is designed to use the best of local intelligence with the objectivity of a truly professional law enforcement.
