 Insecurity And Nigeria's Imminent Dissolution

Nigeria as we know it today, is fastly deteriorating. It does not matter how many guns and boots that are being deployed to patch it up, Nigeria is heading to total dismemberment. A Nigerian Catholic Priest serving in Malawi, Father Kelvin Ugwu, has lambasted the Buhari led Fulani government over its incapability of quenching the growing security crisis currently rocking the entire nation.

The popular young priest of Igbo extraction, while reacting to the countless number of kidnapping, killing and other associated crimes ravaging the country via his official Facebook, made it known that there is great threat to innocent lives against the corporate existence of Nigeria. He also berated the Nigerian Government over the extraordinary rendition and the illegal detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who is presently in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), stressing that such an action forms one of the reasons why people want separate countries where justice and equity reign supreme.

While speaking on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Father Kelvin Ugwu said: "I feel his choice of words are harsh, yet I get angry because his words do not even do justice in describing the level of decay Nigeria is facing". He also said: "when I recall Nnamdi Kanu's voice and words, I think more on the injustices and killings that gave birth to the voice. When I watch the level of decay, the killings of innocent people, the nepotism, the terrorism, the kidnapping and the fact that all these menaces seemed to have become normalized even in the mind of an average Nigerian, I cannot help but wish we have more voices like Nnamdi Kanu’s". In case you do not know, Nigeria is the third most terrorized country in the world after Afghanistan and Iraq.

Sleep elopes a normal human being after seeing the corpses of those butchered in Southern Kaduna, Jos and other locations in Nigeria. Even children are not spared. It is insane!

What can be more horrifying than the fact that kidnapping of school children for ransom has become one of the fastest growing businesses under this administration? The clergyman expressed shock while lamenting on the recent attack on the Nigerian foremost military school, Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA), that terrorists invaded, gunned down officers and abducted a Major and nothing has been done about it up till date. 

How can one reconcile the fact that members of a world recognized terrorist organization, Boko Haram, are being pardoned and rehabilitated while Nnamdi Kanu who only speaks peace and freedom is in prison? “Not having electricity power supply is normal to Nigerians.  Extrajudicial killings, kidnapping and banditry is becoming a new normal. “Imprisoning Nnamdi Kanu confirms that the government wants his message to the people for the restoration of Biafra, to be silenced like the ban on Twitter and the Lekki toll gate shooting. The impunity only shows that the government of Buhari has a hidden agenda.
