From the moment the locomotive called Nigeria was economically redesigned to fully run on 'Crude Oil', at the expense of the country's other enormous mineral resources, the number of illegal arms and ammunition vis-a-viz the number of militants, hoodlums and rogues in the south south and in the south east Oil producing Nigerian States has grown exponentially and in return lead to the agitation for Biafra nation, emergence of numerous accidental Multimillionaires and Billionaires, incessant political killings, rampant kidnapping, armed robbery and pipeline vandalism Et al in that region...
Obviously, that 'flash-point of war' region is sitting on a 'keg of gun-powder' waiting to burst into a magnanimous conflagration capable of consuming both the trigger and the innocents. In other words, the President Buhari led government must carefully diagnose the illness before administering the prescribed medicine for patients who are suffering from 'pipeline vandalism sickness' or choose to usher the 'political insanity' into a full blown anarchy, because anything more or less than the actual dosage may lead to a continuous catastrophe.
In this challenging time, conflicts risk catastrophe but it must be said that victory at the expense of innocents, is no victory at all. Well, it is now evident that neither awarding pipeline surveillance contracts to crooks in the creeks, nor the introduction of the Amnesty program and the Niger Delta Development Commissions which was later compromised by those who introduced it, is a long term solution.
You don't need a college degree to deal with Nigeria's present situation, you need common sense... #iBelieve
Have a blessed Friday.
