The death toll keeps increasing while the politicians, who are charged with protecting the people, are busy positioning themselves for power come 2015.

Only in Nigeria will a ruling party seeking re-election not think that improving the security situation in the country could enhance their chances of winning the election because there’s actually no connection between providing good government to the people and winning elections in Nigeria – what we have in this country are not elections but selections.

In the last one week there have been at least three reported terrorist attacks in Nigeria, each attack killing not fewer than forty people:

1. A week ago on Wednesday 19th Boko Haram Militants killed at least 45 people in Azaya Kure in Borno State
2. Day after the Azaya Kure attack, it was reported that 48 fishermen were slaughtered near lake Chad
3. Yesterday, 25th November two female suicide bombers killed about 78 people in Maiduguri.

The previous week a suicide bomber disguised as a student set off a bomb killing 48 students and injuring 79 others in Potiskum.

It is almost becoming a daily occurrence now, which makes you wonder if anybody, apart from the families of the victims, is even paying attention any more.

I often ask myself if the president or any of his ministers care for any of these causalities.
President Jonathan chose the day after 48 students were killed in Potiskum to organise a fanfare to declare that he will be running again. Like I mentioned earlier, only in Nigeria will a president not consider the slaughter of 48 innocent students a stain on his leadership.

The final report on the murder of Lee Rigby, the soldier killed on the streets of London, was released yesterday. 18-months after the death of a soldier in London, British authorities are still investigating to find out how the murder could have been prevented. Hours after dozens of people are slaughtered in Nigeria, the ‘temporary distraction’ is quickly forgotten forever and life returns to normal in the Ivory palaces of Lagos and Abuja – Nigeria is a perfect example of a tragic comedy.

Along with the report on the murder of Lee Rigby is another report that since the June 2005 terrorist attack in London killing 49 people, the British security services have been able to disrupt 40 terrorists plots.

The reason there has only been one terrorists attack in Britain since 2005 bombings is because security services have been able to disrupt the plots before they were ever carried out.

That means the reason we have been having terrorists attacks on a daily basis in Nigeria is because the security services are doing absolutely nothing to disrupt the plots despite budgeting billions of Naira for security.

Apart from preventing not fewer than 40 terrorists attacks, British authorities have made 753 arrests since 2010 and jailed 138 terrorists since David Cameron became Prime Minister in May 2010.

It was also revealed that 13 suspects have been extradited since the same period. Those familiar with the extradition process will realise how difficult it is to extradite any suspect. It took about 10 years to finally extradite one of those terror suspects to Jordan and about 13 years to successfully extradite another one to the US.

If we ask the Nigerian security services what progress they have made since 2009 when Boko Haram started operating what will they report?

The first and only terrorist attack that has taken place on US soil since the devastating attack on 11th September 2001 was the 2013 Boston marathon bombing about twelve years later.

One of the two culprits was killed during a shootout with the police and the other is facing justice now. As of today, the security services are not looking for any other suspect in connection with that incident.

Until the Snowden revelation we were not sure why there has been no other terrorist attack on US soil for over ten years but now we know – the US authorities are monitoring every phone-call, e-mails, text messages and web-site visit not only in the US but elsewhere in the world.

Has this action earned them reprimands from some of their closest allies? Off course it has but the US government don’t care because they realise that their top priority is to keep US citizens safe.

What can be considered as the top priority of the Nigerian government?

We heard over the Weekend that less than 24 hours after al-Shabab militants slaughtered 28 Kenyans the Kenyan military retaliated by sending troops to Somalia where they killed over a hundred militants.

“I can assure you that those behind the attack did not even take their supper,” The Kenyan Vice President, William Ruto, boasted.

The Kenyan retaliation hasn’t been independently confirmed and al-Shabab spokesmen denied the claim.

I tend to believe the Kenyan VP because that is what a responsible government does when innocent citizens they are supposed to be protecting are being attacked.

What is the Nigerian government doing about the incessant terrorist attacks on Nigerian soil?
