Nigeria, Desperately Beating The Drums Of War

 Nigeria, Desperately Beating The Drums Of War

To all the proponents of the Nigerian oppressive government, pertinent questions that need be asked are: Who really is fanning the embers of war in the country? Why is the Nigerian presidency carefully avoiding holding a meaningful dialogue with the "messengers of death"? Why has the military tactically refused, unleashing it's might on the Fulani killer herdsmen in their mad quest for control and domination in Benue State? Right under the nose of President Muhammadu Buhari, his home State, Katsina, the terrorists whom he proudly referred to as his "misguided brothers", had boldly kidnapped secondary school students in their numbers and he woefully failed to authorize the deployment of military might against the perpetrators. But elsewhere in the South-East, full blown military operation has been visited on the innocent, peaceful, law abiding civilian population. Is the demand for a REFERENDUM, a call for war? In Buhari's own words, all those that carried out protests at Lekki tollgate in Lagos, wanted him removed from office, really? Why have the operatives of the Department of Security Services (DSS), not yet been deployed against Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, the bandits' negotiator?

The Nigerian government remains the war drummer and this fully activated, will certainly consume all if caution is blatantly thrown to the winds. People are really fed up with the seeming endemic economic strangulation and spate of state-orchestrated insecurity ravaging the country. The government has consciously, visited the entire scenario with biasness and complacency. At the time when people can no longer fold their hands and be killed, the atmosphere is earnestly being charged for the unexpected. They will assuredly rise up with questions that need definitive answers. The citizens are totally saturated with mere life existence and need uncompromised security even in their beguiled esteem. All that the government can pride itself with, is shamelessly negotiating with dare-devil terrorists and at public glare, paying whooping ransom worth billions of dollars to them. The terrorists in reciprocation, have aggravated their attacks on the indigenous civilian populace, effortlessly kidnapping and killing as many students amongst others, as they could.

For simply and rightly demanding for a referendum and assemblying self-defence volunteers in the mold of Eastern Security Network (ESN), the Nigerian government got rattled in it's protection ambiguity for the forth most deadliest terror group in the world, whose evil activities have most terribly, been brought upon the people. The Aso Rock cabal has unleashed both the military and police on the civilians of mainly Igbo extraction (South-East), while Fulani terrorists maintain field days in their annihilative drives in Ebonyi and Imo States, respectively.

Recall that the same Nigerian government in the year 2018, handed over to the Islamic terrorists, unhindered (legitimate) resources through their admission into the Nigerian military and police.  It is therefore justified to categorically demand here that the army be immediately and unreservedly withdrawn from the streets, roads and communities, across Biafraland. Let the provocation  be brought to an end.
