Who Will Save Nigeria?
This majorly explains the source of the herdsmen/farmers’ clashes that are being experienced in the country today. Herdsmen with their herds have had to move towards the southern part of the country for green pastures. In the southern area of the country, while the eastern part of southern Nigeria is being ravaged by coastal erosion, the South-West and South-South are victims of floods. In most parts of the globe, a country is afflicted by one or, at worst, two of the impacts but not so for my dear country. Now, moving to the real world of Nigeria, one is ever unable to track the challenges afflicting the country. As you grapple with one without conclusion, another is rearing its ugly head. The scenario is best captured in the Yoruba proverb of “Egbinrin ote, bi a se n pa ikan, ni ikan n ru,” which literally translates to mean “multitudes of stratagems in multitudes, scattering one births another.” As I put it elsewhere, the problems confronting the country will appear to be amoeboid in nature. It is simply intractable and shapeless. Consequently, it might not be too much of a drama to describe the predicament of Nigeria as a case of “Amubo,” which literally translates to ill-fated failures. Prior to the inception of this administration, insecurity was largely in the North-East, with the Boko Haram insurgency.The campaign promise of the present administration then was to wipe out Boko Haram that was controlling some local government areas of the country. Today, apart from the ‘technical defeat’ of the sect that has been the sing-song of government, the fact remains that not only is the group still in existence, offshoots of the group in the forms of bandits and kidnappers are all over the place. Regrettably, the situation has spread to virtually all the nooks and crannies of the country. What even distinguishes kidnapping in the other parts of the nation from that in North is that it usually involves multitudes of people. While other parts of the country engage in retail kidnapping, the ones in the north are on wholesale basis. Most times, I wonder how this occurs, knowing how difficult it is to load a hundred heads of cattle into a truck, a situation not dissimilar to the one painted above as the victims in both instances are ever unwilling. Today, crimes are fully democratized in the country, though with distinct predominance in different areas.
