When I read about the INVASION of NIGERIAN DEFENSE ACADEMY KADUNA by Hoodlums and abducted serving Majors of Nigerian Army just like taking biscuit from a baby, I felt we are finished finally.
A Major is an officer in middle of progression, like somebody in SSS3 in Secondary School , meaning a step away from final lap of Academic pursuit.
For Majors to be abducted from Military abode, it send Jitters down my spine, not because others who have been abducted are less important, but the temerity and significance of that daring move makes the Dice a Cast.
If they can grab two Army Middle Officers, from Defense Academy, which is a place our Officers are trained to become the hope of the Nation, doesn't speak fair about Nigeria, her security, her future and her present day.
What is the hope of ordinary Man on the street, if the ones with ARMS are incapable to contain aggression? .
How protected are civilians snoring at Night fall with the hope that Police and Military have our Back and from Nigerian setting, it is assumed that the Military are more protective, agile and Rock solid than Police or any other Security apparatus, after all they have the numbers and vast budget, but since they can be dared and maimed and the Government is not jittery, the Military are not on rampage, the News are unconcern, may I humble narrate to us that the Center that makes Nigeria Sovereign state seems to have Bursted like a pressure Pipe that was pressured under intense heat.
If our Military on whose back our Nations are built as our last defense, if they can't protect self, certainly they can't protect us and in event of external aggression, the Nation will fall like pack of Cards.
Originally, it was the masses they abducted and the Government felt unconcerned because they have security formed protective units around them and members of the family, but today Civilians are so impoverished that nabbing them doesn't pay, that opened the eyes and sight of the Nappers who came into existence as Political leverage, but turned to nemesis which was in tune with the saying that provides "Training a PYTHON as Pet is not the Problem, but containing Her after she have grown enough muscle to make you a Sport", what our Politicians trained as Electoral Tools has grown to full Terror and they don't know the difference between THE MASTER and his Families, they go about doing the work placed in their hands and the center of Politics can't hold, the spill over off Political Dare devil has reached a height where even Politics now a Victim and VOTERS under siege.
Little wonder the Metaphoric Prophet of Pen, ICONIC CHINUALUM OGU ACHEBE "CHINUA ACHEBE" , penned THINGS FALL APART and then went ahead to say "and the center cannot hold"... That was when things was good, like Fela Anikulapo was shouting about high cost of living when life was bed or roses, now both will be turning in grave, crying without Tears as Spirits don't shed tears.
When I read about the Plateau massacre of three loaded Buses and the Federal Government were SITTING AT HOME, then I know that this Nation is no Longer in Comma, they have vacated the pits of Comma and went further down the slope of Bottomless Pit.
Way before now, even an accident commands the presence of Governors and think thanks who will invade the place and start analising the cause or causes, that way further ones can be prevented, but the morality of the Nation was so much slashed that we now live life as dejected Widow, who lives among the in laws who want her as Sex tool or Object of nmesia gi, ikwete.
My only advise to State Governors is to Start a HARD CRACK LOCAL VIGILANTE, the Vigilante will be Crack Team fortified with all the Voodoo intrigues, soaked in same water the Terrors who maim us where bathed, that's the only way this scourge can be contained.
If States are still waiting for State Police or Federal Government intervention, they should wait for eternity and the next phase is embolden this Men to hunt down the Politicians and make them the sustainance of what ever they hungered for, and be rest assured that even your Security personnels can't contain them.
We are worried about 2023 election, but from what we are seeing now, how are we sure we will get to the said 2023, talkless of imagining having election instead of ERECTION?.
As for Alaigbo, I remember when the Spirit of JEHU were stirred at ONUICHA In late seventies or early 80s during the days of OTONDO and his cronies , when Hoodlums became the Lord's and the state was under submission of the unjust, the spirit of JEHU brought BOYS OYEEE into play , it was reaction of reprisal, it was lethal, it was total and it was like taking the State to a Car wash that washes with intent to make you a Customer, the state was laundered so clean that doors were left unlocked at night and not even rats stole even a portion of misplaced Fish.
I pray that the Spirit of JEHU will be stirred once again and let my land be cleansed, as for the Federal Government, until they perish this Utopian feeling of over taking the Nation with external forces, this Nation cannot know peace and if they want the progress of this Nation.. Either they go and drag PETER OBI and place him in Total charge of ECONOMIC RECOVERY and give him BLANKET APPROVAL (plan and Execute) or they hand the Nation to an Igbo man who shall build back a Nation.
When I say an Igbo man, I do not refer to IGBO NAME but a DNA tested and certified IGBO.
Having said the above, let me go and pray while singing..
" By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down Yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion
There the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
There the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiring of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight,
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight"
