Many people who are scared stiff of the deadly
direction the country is moving, including very
influential friends of Nigeria in western nations,
always talk about waiting till 2015 to solve the
problem. The idea is that, in 2015, Nigerians would
have to save themselves at the polls. That may
well be true, but what will happen to us and our
country between now and 2015? The disasters of
the past weeks have made answers to that
question more urgent than ever before.

In the past weeks, we have seen several
teenage-girl suicide bombers. And we are now
being told that most of them could be the
kidnapped Chibok girls who might have been
“bewitched” by their captors with funny
substances. Last week, a new twist was added: a
10-year-old child was strapped with bombs by
the terrorists and prepared for suicide bombing.

The president has been totally bereft of any idea
to protect the Nigerian people and has left us at
the mercy of those who want to kill every one of
us. His main preoccupation now is to protect
himself and his household. That is why he is not
going to Chibok. Every other day, churches are
bombed, mosques are bombed, emirs are
murdered, ordinary Nigerians are killed, villagers
are murdered, schools are bombed and burnt
down, malls and markets are bombed; “gunmen”
invade northern villages and forcibly snatch away
people’s wives and daughters to use as sex
slaves and nobody goes looking for them. And,
these days, several brides are kidnapped on their
wedding days in Borno, Yobe and Zamfara states
and are kept as sex slaves. The government has
not even shown that it is aware of these
horrendous happenings. Today’s Nigeria is
certainly not the same one that Jonathan
inherited as president.

To make matters worse and frighten us even the
more, the president just told us that his
government did not foresee terrorism coming.
This is supposed to be an alibi for the egregious
incompetence that has been displayed so far.
That is shocking, because there was terrorism
elsewhere in the world including parts of Africa
long before he became president. This
government’s problem is not just a total lack of
vision (of not foreseeing anything), it is corruption
that has made it impossible for the government to
fight terrorism and other crimes. Our president
obviously does not know the effect of corruption,
especially the extreme type that his government
has been associated with, on governments. It is
that type of corruption that could conceivably
make a nation send 200 guns to 400 soldiers as
happened not too long ago in an army unit in the
north-east because there was no money to buy
enough guns, not to talk of other more
sophisticated weapons. It is also that type of
corruption that would make a country like Nigeria
not have enough bullets to prosecute the war
against terrorists, a war which the president
himself has declared to be worse than the civil
war. And in spite of the outcry, the situation
worsens every day. The corruption is now such
that the money that the country would make
tomorrow gets stolen today. What that means is
that the terrorism and mass murder we will
experience tomorrow will be worse than that of
today. The coming calamity can only be imagined.

Even as I write this, the Boko Haram flag is still
flying in Damboa and a few other villages in
Borno State. These are territories that have been
captured and confiscated by Boko Haram from
the Jonathan government. President Jonathan
has done nothing to reclaim the captured
territories. Expectedly, the terrorists have
become even more motivated by the president’s
incapacity. They have blown up one of the last
remaining bridges linking Maiduguri to the rest of
the country. It is only a matter of time before they
cut off all the roads leading to Maiduguri and
declare Borno State a country of their own. Once
Borno falls, Yobe State will follow within hours. If
Borno and Yobe states fall, the momentum will be
on the side of the terrorists, and, by that time,
other international terrorist groups which are
more organised, especially ISIS that is
desperately trying to carve out a country for itself
from Syria and Iraq, may just start getting
interested in Nigeria. And that would be the
catastrophe. Let us just pray that, under President
Jonathan, the UN will not have to send a
multinational force to liberate Nigeria.

A president, any president, who can say with his
own mouth that he did not see terrorism coming
to his country, in today’s world that is defined by
technology and terrorism, certainly has no
business being president. So how is Jonathan
supposed to foresee the grim picture I have just
painted if he has no vision? The question we
should all be asking ourselves at this point
therefore is, “What will happen to us between now
and 2015?”

are you touched...get your facts right babe (dats if u are cus na only leg I dey see)

The best answer to this topic is non any other than "ONLY GOD KNOWS" what will happen between now and 2015

All our leaders are interested in is how to amass wealth, utter cluelessness runs in their veins, proactive action is a foreign language to them.
Assuming we have proactive govt, the case of Ebola virus we're all jittery about would have been nipped in the bud ,will they tell us that they were unaware of its existence in the neighbouring countries?

hmmm.....may God help us...I pray a positive change will come in 2015
