EDITORIAL: Insecurity In Nigeria Growing From Bad To Worse Under Buhari by prof2007: 1:09am On May 30, 2021
Why are Fulani herdsmen carrying AK-47 rifles, why are Igbos fighting for a Biafran nation, why are militants blowing up pipelines, why are students being kidnapped on daily basis? These questions can be answered in one sentence: Insensitivity of the Nigerian government.

Nigeria, under the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, does not value human life and safety. This is evident in the manner and approach in which government treats citizens when it comes to securing lives and property. It appears government is fast losing its power and relevance to terrorists. The Nigerian government must, as a matter of urgency, strategize on how to tackle rising insecurity in the country, to change the status quo.

Today, there are pockets of violence and attacks in nearly all 36 states, including FCT. These attacks range from kidnappings, armed robbery, ritual killings, smuggling, cultism, violence, herdsmen killings, Islamist terrorism and militancy, ethnic wars, among others. All these boil down to the feeling of insecurity against a fellow Nigerian.

Owing to government’s insensitivity towards security challenges confronting the country, Abuja residents can no longer comfortably travel to Kaduna via Abuja-Kaduna expressway. Benin-Sagamu and Akure-Ilesa are dens of bandits in spite of heavy presence of security operatives on these routes. Bandits continue to kidnap school children by the day. Politicians, Clerics, monarchs are not spared from the kidnappings.

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers abducted some students during an attack on Green Field University in Kaduna. Weeks ago, David Oyewumi, traditional ruler of Ilemeso in Oye LGA of Ekiti State was Thursday kidnapped by unknown gunmen who attacked the monarch’s palace. In March, no fewer than 8 members of the RCCG in Kaduna, were abducted by gunmen while travelling for a programme.

Recently, 4 students of Capro Secondary Mission School located at Gana Ropp in Barkin Ladi LGA of Plateau State were abducted by gunmen. Few days back, an attack by herdsmen on an IDP camp in Benue State left 7 dead and many others injured. These and many more disheartening news are what Nigerians wake up to every day.

It is against this background that Information Nigeria submits that if citizens, regardless of their religion and tribe, feel a sense of belonging in the governance of the country, insecurity will cease to exist. We call on President Buhari to believe in and follow the practice of nationalists who fought for Nigeria’s independence. Ahmadu Bello said, “The things that unite us are stronger than the things that divide us. Differences in religion need not bar people from walking together for the good of all.”

Nnamdi Azikwe said, “My point is that our ancestors, in spite of their heterogeneous languages and cultures bequeath to us the legacy of political, social, economic, legal, philosophical and religious ideologies which have sustained and enabled them to survive.

“Now that we are confronted with problems of co-existence and are re-ensconced in a wilderness of alien ideologies which are making a terrific impact on our ways of life, the obvious solution is for us, like a seaman who had drifted from salt water and fresh water, to assuage our thirst. We must drink deep from our roots to discover this secret of successful co-existence.”

As long as nepotism continues, the Hausas keep suspecting the Igbos, Yorubas keep suspecting the Hausas, and other vices that ignite communal and tribal clashes continue to reign, it will be difficult to overcome security challenges in the country. Buhari should as a matter of urgency reunite all tribes and religions in the country.

Cryptocurrency is now taking over the world financial markets.
Don't be left out of this financial revolution, cause if you do, you might live to regret it.

With as little as #5000, you can invest into cryptocurrency and you don't even need a middleman who might probably be a scammer, all you need to do is to get the right apps and tutorials on how to invest and multiply your capital through crypto.

There are various means by which you can benefit from crypto; by hodling, by trading or by financial liberation programs such as Forsage.

Last year, many people who participated in Forsage ETH became millionaires and many more millionaires are going to emerge soon with the launch of Forsage BUSD.

I run a whatsapp group where I guide individuals on how to accumulate coins which will be converted to millions of naira through Forsage. You don't need to pay anything to me, just add me on whatsapp @08085197328 and I will send you the group link.

Less than 36hours to official launching.
Be part of this financial revolution now.

#Forsage
#BUSD

So Nigeria has finally collapsed under the watchful eyes of Buhari. This is what Nepotism can cause a nation. May it never be well with all those that brought Buhari to power including those that voted for him.
