Wake up Call for Nigerian Government
By Comr Auwal Gombe
By understanding the Nature of Insecurity in Nigeria, particularly the Northern part of the Country is quite disgusting.People are living in terrible menace and Economic problems as a result of Insecurity.
Many people are migrating from their respective communities to another, some are dying all as a result of insecurity in Northern part and the country at large.
This week the rate of killings have surged ranging from Boko Haram and kidnappings/ banditry in our various communities in Nigeria especially northern part of the country.
A recent report shows bandits use to carry out their operations in several places around sokoto and the affected communities are lamenting about the poor investment in security .
Bandits alot of time carry operation and leave the place unhindered by security agencies. It may interest you to note that our local communities are without adequate police presence .
There is need to call on the Nigerian Government to wake up and to be very vigil on this issue because security is the first priority to every state around the globe.If care is not taken this issue will be out of hand.
Also, our own political leaders and Traditional leaders, Religious leaders should be awake on this issue of insecurity
The level of insecurity is worsening especially in Northern part of the country, People of different strata are suffering as result of
1:Boko Haram
2:Banditry
3:Kidnapping
4:Communal crisis
5: REGIONAL crisis etc.
The Northern Leaders need to remember that they also belong to North and it seems like they don’t know what is happening in their various communities. Northern Leaders need to take crucial steps in ending this quagmire.
Any country battling with security imbroglio, will not be stable, because issue of security is the first priority of every serious entity around the globe.
The issue of communal crisis now had taken a new dimension in our country. Also the Boko Haram and kidnapping had became a headline/story of many News papers in Nigeria.
People are dying in a broad daylight. Kidnapping had become a lucrative business in Nigeria that’s why many people became kidnapper because of it profitability and lack of possible actions from the Government/leaders to end the thriving venture.
Many people are living in fear as a result of Boko Haram and kidnappings in various communities in Nigeria especially Northern part of the country.
Our Government/ leaders need to do the needful before it’s too late and let then wake up from their deep sleep.
If the issue of insecurity reaches peak, the society and indeed everyone will be victims because kidnappers always select/choose those who have something to pay high ransom.
Some solutions to the issue of insecurity in NIGERIA..
1. Massive investment in Education.
2. Prudent and God fearing leadership.
3. Provision of social aminities.
4. Creation of state , regional and community policing .
5. Creation of special courts that deal with crimes.
With the above mentioned panacea, I believe Nigeria especially the Northern part of the country shall be peaceful…
