IMPLEMENTING PRAGMATIC SECURITY REFORMS IN NIGERIA: A CALL TO ACTION
The road to success is often carved out with a healthy amount of sincerity in the face of challenges, but if you feel overpowered by insecurities, you may have trouble getting anywhere.
In reality, everyone has something they are insecure about. But the ones who still move forward, despite their insecurities, are the ones who always shine the brightest.
Today the entire system in Nigeria is at the verge of perdition. The ship of the nation is severely threatened, veering dangerously and heading towards jagged rocks of destruction due to insecurity.
It is so painful that after her 64th Independence, Nigeria, the so called giant of Africa does not maintain any status quo but retrogressing on the verge of a catastrophic calamity of greater magnitude than the conflict of 1967 to 1970 or brazen disenfranchisement of 1993.
It all started like a play when the armed bandits, including foreigners started taking over our forests and apparently setting up temporary camps where they intermittently storm the highways and kidnap travelers who they hold and release in exchange for ransoms. They terrorize, defile and sometimes kill their victims.
Today, the wave of insecurity has assumed an unimaginable dimension that even our armed security apparatus is not safe, let alone innocent citizens. There is virtually no place across the 6 political blocks that is safe, as unpleasant events are unfolding simultaneously.
I am not surprised that the world powers do not sympathize with us, nor our big brother nations, apart from the fact that they have their own peculiar issues. They are waiting for a Nigeria that is broken into pieces. As they did to the soviet Union, due to our population strength, our resources and what the future holds for us, when we eventually get things right. These are threats to them.
