I recently over heard of a 10 years girl who was caught strapped with explosives in Kaduna State yesterday. If this story is confirmed to be true, then it makes nonsense of the #BBOG campaigners who claim its the Chibok girls that wre been used as suicide bombers. All Chibok girls are SSCE candidates and at least no Nigerian of 10 years age bracket has entered for SSCE in its entire history.
Each time I hear the theories propounded by the #BBOG group just to deride the presidency and gain vain recognition, its becomes very nauseating and apalling. No President will keep an eye
The truth is that we are dealing with a global monster (terorrism) and it takes more than sitting around unity fountain to tame it. It takes national psychology, all people speaking in same tone against the actors, their financiers and the faciltators.
As far as I am concerned, #Bringbackourgirls is a vain seeking, mis-directed, illogical and inconsequential effort that will yield no fruit, increase the brand value of Boko Haram while increasing the sorrows of the Chibok Parents and hightening the risk of Nigerians to further attacks.
Terrorism is a gobal phenomenom like Rape, Hunger, Human trafficiking, Prostitution, Poverty, War, Arson e.t.c and you do not treat it with kids gloves or talk carelessly about a goverment that is waging a war against such monsters. Every country in the world has a local version of terrorism it is dealing with and the only solution lies in our common united psyche.
Check out the following occurences:
1. Buhari spoke openly against Boko Haram and was attacked viciously after a few days. The Terorrist never wants us to speak as one against them hence the anger against Buhari.
2. Sheik Dahiru Bauchi was also targeted bacause of his consistent call on all Terrorist as agents of hell.
3. The Soldier man from Zone 9 Slaughtered by Boko Haram and the video openly displayed was asked to confirm if any villagers gave them soldiers information on the whereabout of BH insurgents.
This speaks to the fact that the terrorists are happier when our voices are divided and they get very irrascible and angry each time we speak united.
What is my advice to the #BringBackOurGirls campaigners, quite simple. Close shop, Turn your voices and advocacy against all forms of terrorism plus insist no form of it will stand in Nigeria. Organise awareness to make Our troops know we stand with them, Raise awareness for Family support for soldiers fighting against Boko Haram, Accept offers to mediate with Terrorist when called upon by Government, Set up Rural education support funds for children in the North eastern Nigeria.
Most importantly, A few words of adviser to my brothers and sisters in Unity fountain as I look forward to them joining government in its efforts to win this war, Boko Hara is a joint enemy of the government, the protesters, Chibok Community, Emergency States, North and Sourthern Nigeria & unknowingly...to the insurgents themselves.
1. Men's hearts ought not to be set against one another, but set with one another, and all against evil only
2. “The enemy, clearly, was the fanged nightmare–– of famine, of war and racism, of rape and terrorism… that walked in human skin while chomping human heads.”
3. Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
4. Behold they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. -- Genesis 11:6
5. Even the weak become strong when they are united.
6. "The job facing American voters… in the days and years to come, is to determine which hearts, minds, and souls command those qualities best suited to unify a country rather than further divide it, to heal the wounds of a nation as opposed to aggravate its injuries, and to secure for the next generation a legacy of choices based on informed awareness rather than one of reactions based on unknowing fear."
7. We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.
Long Live Nigeria devoid of Terrorism, Vain Activism and Sectionalism.
I hope this is a voice of reason albeit a low profile one.
