A lot of discussions have been held and are still on-going about whether the act of negotiation with a terrorist group like the Boko Haram by the Federal Government of Nigeria in its bid to get the release of the kidnapped girls in Chibok was right or not.

There are those who are of the opinion that such acts can only fuel the ego of the group and make them stronger actually. While those supporting the Government are claiming success and patting it on its back, the opposing team are asking “What about the other people regularly being kidnapped still in that terrain?” Are they not human beings or is it that their lives are less worthy?”

In relation to all that, what is the Government doing to avert more kidnaps in that territory and elsewhere or is it going to negotiate with the group continually for past, present and future kidnaps?

It is not surprising that the group has confidently continued in its nefarious activities as reports reaching our News Desk has confirmed that at least at least six farmers who were working on their land were mercilessly slaughtered over the last week-end in Maiduguri in the same Borno State. What was the offence of the innocent farmers?

According to eye-witnesses, the farmers were preparing their lands for the coming rainy season on Saturday afternoon when they were attacked by these wicked people using machetes and other destructive weapons. What have the farmers got to do with the Western Education that Boko Haram claims to fighting to eradicate in Nigeria?

It is high time the Federal Government realised that this issue is a declaration of war on this country by some elements who working under a fake disguise and handle it as such. In any country where farmers are being regularly attacked by armed insurgents, the aim is very clear – starve the community as you gradually eliminate them completely.

This is an effective weapon of war as has been demonstrated in other societies before now and the Federal Government owes Nigerians everywhere in this country protection against local and foreign invasion.
