From all indices of progress and development, Nigeria is at rock bottom: graduates that should be at the forefront driving innovation are happy being on N- power; another set are about to be chained down to 774,000 jobs for public works. The federal government calls them social intervention programs while they are actually a symptom of government failure. How does one develop one's potential through such programs? Are these youths asset or liability to themselves and the nation? This is just a spectacle of Nigeria going down the rabbit hole.

Another scenario is the emergence of other terror groups in addition to Boko Haram that this government met on ground when it came to power. We now have bandits, killer herdsmen, and other dangerous elements. With each passing day, terror is tightening its grip on Nigeria.
Government is losing ground in the battle against these terror groups.

To appease these criminal elements, they are pardoned when captured. They are then rehabilitated and reintegrated into their community. However this policy is not working as terror groups are emboldened rather than relent in their killing and maiming of the innocent. In fact it is an irony that the victims of these terror groups languish away in internally displaced persons camps while the captured criminal elements are cared for.

Down the Rabbit hole is the idea of punishing soldiers fighting Boko Haram for one reason or the other. Court Marshall of soldiers fighting Boko Haram is standard practice while no trial of captured Boko Haram elements is taking place.

Nigeria is down the rabbit hole and Boko Haram is one of unfortunate disasters we are living with. We are still seeing Boko Haram because we are in the rabbit hole. Our only hope is to jump out of the rabbit hole.
