RE-INCARNATION OF EVIL IN NIGERIA
Evil to any layman is a word nobody wants to hear, a word that hurts
the hear –‘Evil’ (Don’t say that, it’s a bad word) the kind of response you get
from hearing a word like that but for Nigerians most especially those in the
northern part of Nigeria, evil has become a kind of daily routine for them
(evil deeds) that surrounds bombing from the so called Boko haram, shooting of
innocent people.
To a non-Nigeria (a concerned one) who wonders who are these people
called ‘Boko-Haram’ and why are they shooting and killing innocent Nigerians,
he can/might also wonder what the federal Government of the Nation is doing to
tackle such attacks, but I can assure you a typical indigene of Nigeria will
tell you the Government of this Nation is doing nothing whatsoever to tackle
this ‘Boko haram’ sect whose sole aim/mission is to destroy everything that
breaths in Nigeria. Though Nigeria is a country that has always had problems, tracing
it back to before Nigeria got independence, the efforts and the tenacity of the
leaders at the time namely: Sadanna of Sokoto, Obafemi Awolowo, Nmamdi Azikwe,
Felix Okotie Eboh, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa amongst others who all fought for independence. After independence,
the military only allowed the fledgling democracy to last for only six years.
In the ensuing problems that followed Nigeria was thrown into a fratricidal
three year war by the military which led to the killing of some many wonderful
Nigerians.
Nigerians were happy when the military regime ended and when the
worst of all the military head of state died (Gen. Sanni Abacha) .The thought
of every Nigerian home and abroad is that Nigeria will be better when the
civilian rule started in 1999 with the former president (Olusegun Obasanjo) but
a lot of killing here and there ranging from kidnapping and killings of people
even non Nigerians by the so called Niger –Delta militants. President Obasanjo
and his administration designed their so called amnesty programme for the
militants but anybody who knows those guys well (Niger-Delta militants) will
know the amnesty programme won’t stop them from terrorizing the Nation in the
nearest future. It’s just a temporary thing.
Now Boko Haram is here with us with the sole mission of destroying
the modest achievements we have made in the political, economic and social
spheres.
What is the government doing about this, Is the JTF capable of
stopping the Boko- Haram, Is the government going for amnesty this time around?
These are the question in the mind of innocents Nigerians that don’t want to be
a victim of the ‘Boko Haram’ menace.
Methinks that Boko Haram is evil personified, they represent modern
day evil. The irony of it however, is that their sponsors are the evil minded
politicians in the north, who see nothing good in the present administration.
They are hell bent on destroying the administration of good luck Jonathan.
The perpetrators of the current evil in the northern part of Nigeria
should realize that they do not own Nigeria. This country belongs to all of us.
