Don’t ask me to pray for any leader over issues of insecurity in Nigeria or outside
By Comrade Musa Ali Maishanu
Note: This article is about to vindicate my expertise in criminology and security studies. It was written on 18 June,2023. But everything about it is about to speak the truth.
Alot of people had failed to understand the philosophy behind issues surrounding security and insecurity in the world or within religions. And that’s why many are asking others to pray for those assigned by the heads of governments to advise them on security issues within and outside their countries.
Within Islam Security records, there was not any evidence of prayer or prayers for the appointees. Historically, there was a time when an Arab man paid a visit to Prophet Muhammad and packed his horse/camel a little distance from the home of Prophet Muhammad which led the Prophet Muhammad to command the man to kindly tie his horse/camel before anything else could be done by both of them. Security consciousness/security precaution had been devised by Prophet Muhammad to the Arab man who paid a visit to Him instead of prayer or prayers.
While, within human made security perspectives, security is a product of strategies, methodologies, techniques and so forth. And insecurity can be treated by any government or entities through strategies, methodologies, techniques and so forth not by asking others to pray for those assigned by the governments or entity to advise them on security issues.
Again, asking others to pray for those assigned by the governments or entity to advise them on security issues is the most useless thing in the world. The consequences of asking others to pray for those assigned by the governments or entity to advise them on security can be seen by the naked eyes of those who asked others through negative obligations of the appointees.
However, within medical security perspectives, security is a medicine. While, insecurity is a disease that can be treated by security practitioners or security professionals through strategies, methodologies, techniques and so forth not prayer. The argument here was that; there is no any disease that has not cure in this world. In other words, all diseases are curable. Therefore, those assigned by the governments or entity to advise them on security must deliver.
Henceforth, any person that asks me to pray for those assigned by the governments or entity to advise them on security not to hold them accountable for their negative obligations would be professionally dealt with by me.
