The recent declaration of state of emergency by the federal government on Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states as far as I am concerned is in order. It’s surprising that the government is getting criticisms from some people and group after this declaration,which means these persons or group do not want an end to the mayhem Boko Haram has brought on Nigeria.
This particular decision I think needs our backing. We just should not criticize because we want to be heard. So far nobody is offering a different solution. Let's spare thoughts for the victims (so far) of the Boko Haram insurgency, rather, the so called anti-corruption, good governance,Human rights activists,political and pressure group are spreading negative propaganda against the Government for their personal aims while gathering support from gullible Nigerian.
The menace of the Boko Haram is not news to everybody. This is a sect that wants the impossible,"ISLAMIZE NIGERIA and FIGHT AGAINST WESTERNIZATION" meanwhile,they cannot claim to be fighting against westernization,when they are using westernized weapons,using Youtube etal to communicate their criminal activities,while,for flimsy excuses they are carrying out robbery,kidnapping for ransom,killing,maiming and destroying innocent lives.
A state of emergency is a declaration by a government made in response to an extraordinary situation posing a fundamental threat to the country. The need to declare a state of emergency may arise from situations as diverse as an armed action against the state by internal or external elements (Boko Haram), a natural disaster, civil unrest, an epidemic, a financial or economic crisis or a general strike.So why politicizing the declaration?
ACF made a statement condemning the SOE,saying that force won't bring peace.Now i ask them which other suggestion have they brought forth? aside from crying for Amnesty for people who do not want it,just for the Financial aim they all seek to derive from it,as far as we all know,nothing will ever appease Boko haram quest for blood than more blood. Shekau earlier said Amnesty should be the other way round - they should be granting the FG amnesty. What is the federal government supposed to do in this case? Quietly sit and watch people die on a daily basis? Should the government wait until the entire North is wiped out? before declaring a SOE,which have already started yielding success.
Let’s see how the state of emergency fares in these states. Hopefully,if more success is recorded,then the federal government should be ready to make same declaration in neighboring states (where I am sure the insurgents will run to),this will make the other States government to sit up and be ready to tackle this monsters in their state instead of folding their arms and waiting for the Federal Government,after collecting security vote. My position is that,the priority of every good government is to make sure that the citizens are secure and protected from every threat both internal or external and I support whatever genuine measures that are being taken to make this come to daylight.

Have you ever heard of paragraphs??

NIGERIAN MILITARY NO MORE THE NATION DEFENDERS..

1. THE NIGERIAN MILITARY TURNED INTO POLITICAL CHARLATANS OF GEJ ADMINISTRATION
2. BY USING THEM AS A TOOL TO ACHIEVE HIS DEVILISH AGENDAS UNABATED.
3. HARASSING, KILLING INNOCENT NIGERIAN IN A SIMPLE BID TO CURVE INSURGENCY (BH) CREATED BY SAME MAN TO ACHIEVE THIS AGENDA.
4. UNPROFESSIONAL APPROACH BY THE MILITARY TO TACKLE SMALL BUT ELUSIVE TARGETS LIKE BH GUERRILLA FIGHTERS

LONG LIVE NIGERIA
