If this generation fails in this direction, posterity may not forgive them for where state of insecurity lasts long, system collapse may result and a failed state situation may surface./7
Act Now!!!!

As a result of impunity with which we manage crises, conduct election and enthrone our leaders, bad governance, promoting low indices of development – 70% poverty population, 0.47 HDI, 153/154 corruption index, 24% unemployment rate, high rate of crimes...,/5
The root causes are yet to be addressed, some of which are ethnicity, unemployment, greed, cultural value loss. Why upon all the agencies on security issues, are we still in this state? Upon all paraphernalia of Office for Mr. President, government is still hoodlum controlled!/4
The Boko Haram insurgence in the North, the militias of the South-South, MASOB of the East, the recent Ogbomosho killings and kidnapping in Oyo State as well as other likely insurgencies have ravaged the nooks and crannies of the country./3

In his book, Nigeria and Issues of Security (Published in 2017), Prof. S.A. Olagoke JP reflects on the state of the nation and highlights some of the underlying factors responsible for the persistent insecurity and governance challenges confronting Nigeria today (p.60-61)/2:
If only Nigerians would pause to read between the lines of the profound insights offered by our Great Authors and Scholars, many of the challenges confronting our nation would be better understood and addressed./1
Therefore, fortify the military more to be able to win the war against terrorists for us now, before the 2027 elections, so that our situation does not become more fatalistic. A stitch in time saves nine./10

This is the expectation of all Nigerians and the global community that cares about and pity us, to prove the capacity, capability, and necessary commitment of the various tiers and arms of government./9
The essence of having a government in place—local, state, and federal—is to protect the people of Nigeria, restore security, ensure good governance, and provide respite for the people./8
Unfortunately for us in Nigeria, we allowed Trump's weird imagination of Christian genocide to come true, as seen in the recent Angwan Rukuba, Jos attack during Palm Sunday on the 29th of March./7
Besides that, he was looking for an area he would be able to use as a military base to attack the Sahel region of the Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, capitalising and using the sentiments of their being military regime-occupied nations./6
...and innocent villagers suffered for it. One would have expected that operations would target areas where Christian genocide was rife.
The later discovery is that Trump was not interested in Nigeria save for our mineral resources, including the oil./5
Are we not supposed to learn from history in order to build a formidable nation where love and unity reign supreme? When Donald Trump first came, forces bombarded the northwest instead of the expected Boko Haram areas in the northeast..,/4
Let us remember the Entebbe raid by the Israelis, who designed and constructed Uganda’s airport during the time of Idi Amin. It was easy for them to invade, largely because they designed the airport./3
Is it not an international embarrassment that we seek foreign help, whether from America or Turkey, to curb our internal wranglings? We need to realise that the more we rely on foreign support to restore peace the more vulnerable we become to external aggression./2
#Josisbleeding
When is Nigeria going to be free of genocidal acts? When are we going to truly love this country, Nigeria, for the world to see that we are patriotic citizens? Is it not a national shame that even our security forces cannot effectively tackle internal terrorist wars?/1

In the harvesting period of the Ramadan fast, mankind has the opportunity to enjoy divine intervention to address the perennial problems and challenges confronting him and his environment./1
#RamadanDay25
It is therefore imperative for all of us to seize this glorious occasion of the fasting exercises by Muslims and Christians to adjust appropriately, so that we may save Nigeria from heading toward the precipice. Think deeply on this. Study guide: Qur’an 2:186 and John 4:34./3
Why then do we trivialize the guidance of God, as contained in the scriptures of our chosen religion, to the detriment of what we stand to gain from Him?/2
