Political power continues to be wielded as an enemy of the people of Nigeria with the looting spree.
The Nigerian tragedy has reached the point where decent and honest people can no longer keep silent.I know we still have them amongst us.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” I am totally in agreement with Edmund Burke.
Armed soldiers cannot be pinning down civillians on the road in a democratic regime.That can only happen during military regimes.Releasing life rounds of ammunition on innocent civillians in the villages and leaving lifeless bodies of citizens drenched in blood is genocide.
For civillians to flee their homes because of sporadic shooting by soldiers who are sustained by tax payers money can never be acceptable in a sane society.
For the nation to resort to regional outfits for security , having lost that government can secure them is dangerous.
When civillians or communities begin to self-appoint guardians for themselves , to secure their communities , where the NDLEA chief is ordering field commanders to mop up illicit drugs ,there is fire on the mountain already.
These are not solutions because they have limitations.
A nation where their police officers are among the best in the world but worst at home.
Despite the much-hyped incorruptibility of governance that was cavassed that brought the government to power ,the government has failed to make hard choices because of sacred cows.
It looks like succeeding governments ,
keep loading themselves with all the vices of previous administrations in addition to new vices created,where do we go from here?
