My question immediately new service chiefs were announced was: 'So what?' We have had many teams of service chiefs. But I do not seem to see any radical change in our security profile in the country. Each time new military top brass are drafted to the national scene, our hopes are raised, our expectations are lofty and our hyped state of mind is quelled. We begin to see that the days of Boko Haram are numbered. At least, for now, the Boko Haram is the nation's Big Bad Wolf. And, hell, we all wait with bated breath for results. We want to hear that the sect is annihilated and every vestige of it mopped up. We want to hear of the release of the Chibok girls or the remnant of them brought home just in case some of them have been wasted. Nigerians always expect the new military helms men to strain at the leash to bring this nightmare to a gallant end. This military men were chosen against the backdrop of their military exploits. We don't need military henchmen who can plot coup but those who can plot the calamity of the Boko Haram. We all had thought that the name, Buhari, alone would cow the insurgents to submission. In fact, one critical element of the change mantra was the need for change in the security dilemma in our nation. If Buhari had not won the elections, many Nigerians would have interpreted the heightened Boko Haram blitz on soft targets as a Northern reaction to the loss of the elections by their son. I do not insinuate that Buhari is already a failure. Far from it. But the expectation of Nigerians about this Boko Haram thing is high. So far he has visited neighboring countries to mobilize for collaboration in the war against terrorism. We want action. This present crop of service chiefs should work intensely to claim the glory that it was during their time that Boko Haram was walloped disgracefully. So let it be please! By Davidson

I just hope that they work

Amen
