“Our security crisis can be tamed in 21 days”

By Rev Dimeji Peter

What if we told Nigerians that this entire problem concerning Fulani herdsmen, boko haram and internal violence can be stopped completely in 21 days?

You may not want to believe it but all the Fulani noise is merely a pawn move in a very clever gambit. The masterminds have not yet shown their hands and they are laughing at our ignorance in Nigeria. The problem is not fulanization or islamization but something worse!

What if we told Generals Obasanjo and General Danjuma that Nigeria can never go to ‘physical war’ in the future because Nigeria has already been at war for the past 25 years.

They were not trained to recognize or handle this new “assymetric” form and this new threat was designed in such a way that all their good intentioned responses are both predictable and stirring the reaction the enemy is hoping for – further divisions of the polity along tribal and religious lines.

Nigeria is like a crisis patient that delayed its treatment of migraine (religious strife) and High Blood Pressure (corruption) and chronic dysentery (prebendalism) now that the patient is getting emaciated, temperature rising and the head is thumping, all the children are panicking not understanding that an extra complication has been added to the picture.

Do Nigerians really believe that the sophisticated precision and tacticals belong to the nomadic anachronisms that are roaming around without wearing underwear?

If we want to survive, Nigeria must learn that the High Blood Pressure and Chronic Migraine are no longer the main issue! We have added one of those ailments that cannot be easily diagnosed by the Nigerian Medical Healthcare System.

Remember “radiculopathy” and IBB? If Nigeria is left ‘untreated’ and keeps running with a wrong diagnosis , it may die and all the children without exception will be returned into a spell of unimaginable hardship, even a slavery that could last for centuries.

Nigeria must not go down as so many countries have gone…because the rest of Africa will be negatively impacted!
