Of Kidnappers, Sunday Igboho and Unserious Leaders, By 'Tope Fasua

It is unfortunate that the government keep burying its head in the sand while this cancer grows. We have not seen any action whatsoever on the part of government, to have a clean sweep and clear any miscreant from our land. This is about territorial integrity and if the federal and state governments will not do this basic job, Sunday Igboho and many of his kind are ready for this sacrificial but routinely administrative task.

The above is the voice of Sola Fagorusi, a young chap I met through his writings on technology on the pages ofnewspapers and who I later related with and engaged briefly for a training job. He gave the interview of his 21-day ordeal in the hands of kidnappers who hijacked him in Ekiti State. He mentioned how his car was stopped with bullets and how he and his passenger, returning from a wedding, are extremely lucky to be alive.

It is a pity that some of our Fulani friends feel bad when we call this for what it is. We should read Sola’s traumatised first-hand account again. He says they boasted of similar exploits as far as Mali. They are highly organised They change their money into dollars. They understand our forests like the back of their hands. This is a shame on all of us, including our security agencies.

So, given this scenario, all the youths run away from the villages and become Okada riders in the cities. No one wants to be a crop farmer anymore, having seen their parents struggle and age prematurely. Even the ones who have been encouraged into agriculture have found that it is easier said than done. Poultry and fish farmers are groaning all over the nation. You find that after an initial enthusiasm, we stop hearing about those kid wonders who went into agriculture with their Harvard degrees.
