Nigeria is a funny place. “One incident” in 2014 cost the Government in power, who was called clueless and non-performing president, his seat.He was much criticized as having failed.Now Amnesty International is documenting the list of abductions and Nigerians are telling us that the Government is on top of the situation.?

More than six reoccurrences,with more devastating numbers,all we hear is the President is doing great. What a funny country.!

I wish I had the number of those kidnapped,
that would have put this illustration in a better perspective.

Chibok abduction 2014–North

Dapchi abduction 2018–North

Kankara abduction 2020–North

Kagara abduction 2021–North

Jangebe abduction 2021–North

Kaduna abduction 2021–North

BirninGwari abduction 2021–North.

Maybe we are still expecting more abductions on the way.

The Chibok School girls abduction was used to destabilize the Government at the time,
“just one”what has happened to us.

Don’t we think that those who had a hand in the 2014 abduction are still the same ones abducting till date.?
The difference now is the power equation.

If the masterminds of the abductions are moving around with seals and customized plate numbers and guarded by heavy securities,are we not a funny country?

I am convinced that the list is going to get longer.We are still within the first months of the year 2021.

When shall we be free from the shackles of oppression and poor gorvernance,
mental and psychological poverty?

Are we not a funny nation with all sorts of absurdities?A nation where those who own cows are respected and rewarded,and those who own Crude oil and Gas are humiliated?

A nation where citizens don’t know what they are doing again except they are looking for something and discussing “tribalism”
because of terrible misgovernance?

The law moving quite fast against the one-way driver.A traffic offender.Within 24 hours is charged for all the crimes you can think of to the letter of the law, showing that the law can work ,when the system needs it for some people.Is it not a funny nation?.

Are we not a funny nation,if it is only when a law abiding citizen mistakenly commit an offense, that is when you see the power of the law and imprisonment?

I know that so many people have psychologically signed off from this funny country,but what can I do?.
