Vanguard’s regional editor (North), Soni Daniel, has noticed a pattern in President Goodluck Jonathan’s handling of the Boko Haram issue. In his opinion article, he maintains it has become easy to predict President Jonathan’s reaction to any attack, as he would condemn the terrorists and vow to deal with them. However, it may appear that the stronger he President’s remarks are, the more ruthless the terrorists become. Mr. Daniel then lists a number of occasions when President Jonathan was forced to condemn the actions of Boko Haram after yet another attack, or promised to curb Boko Haram’s activities in his speeches on various political occasions. After the Boko Haram’s November 10th, 2014, attack on the Government Science School in Potiskum, Yobe State, when scores of young students were killed, Jonathan has promised to “bring to justice” all those responsible for the crime and “make them pay” After Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) was attacked by Boko Haram in Kaduna on July 23, 2013, President Jonathan assured that the Federal Government would continue and further intensify its ongoing efforts to effectively curb the menace of terrorism in the country. Again, he denounced the “dastardly targeting of the prominent political and religious leaders by terrorists and enemies of the nation in an odious attempt to inflame passions and exacerbate disquiet, fear, insecurity and sectional divisions in the country.” In April, hundreds of Chibok town (Borno State) schoolgirls were kidnapped from their dormitories by Boko Haram, and, on the same day, the tragic bombong in Nyanya, Abuja’s suburb, occured. In May, a number of bombs went off in various parts of Nigeria, killing and injuring hundreds. Again, President Jonathan condemned Boko Haram’s actions and assured of the Army’s and securoty forces’ ceaseless efforts to bring terrorism to a halt in Nigeria. Ever since the Boko Haram’s ‘advent’ in Nigeria, Mr. Daniel points out, President Jonathan uses pretty much same words, expressions and promises. Instead of talking about Boko Haram, the President should consider starting to work more to end the terror. |

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt |
