This is a question seldom asked by well meaning people in Nigeria. Who actually benefits when a policeman is killed? Who benefits when a pregnant woman is killed in Igbo land? Who benefits when defenseless poor villagers are hacked down in their sleep in rural communities? Who truly rejoices with the killing of innocent men? Guess what? The politician.
The political class rejoices when lives are lost. Why? It is political fodder in the cannons of the opposition party to fire at the government. For GEJ to be ousted from power, 200 innocent school girls at Chibok were entrapped and handed over to jihadists. It ended up in the international hit song GEJ IS A FAILURE and BUHARI IS A MESSIAH. The international conspirators have since gone deaf and dumb over the killings in Nigeria since 2016. Did anyone ever ask the mode of evacuation of 200 girls across the border in a state with heavy military presence and partial lockdown due to insurgency? You need 10 buses to convey 200 people. You need 100 motor cycles to convey 200 passengers. You need 50 flying magical, Arabian mats. Simply put, you need the collusion of political actors to make such a reality.
Who actually benefits from insecurity? The two sides of the political class. Like a coin, you have two sides represented as the ruling political class and opposition political class . How do they benefit? The opposition party gets juicy news material to shout ineptitude, while the ruling class accesses funds through contracts to its cronies for IDP camps. The Ministry of humanitarian affairs gets busier than ever when insecurity occurs as they have to create new IDP camps and get allocations to cater for inflated numbers of people. They make good profits from the misadventure of Nigerians.
Unfortunately, Nigerians claim to be religious people sweating to outdo themselves in religiosity while doing what Satan can't even think of. I can tell you even Satan fears the demonic ingenuity of Nigerians. Some people who lost primary elections of their political party want the party to scatter at all costs. They even hire thugs and killers to scuttle campaigns in the guise of unknown gun men. When hands point at some politicians as sponsors of violence, they hire criminals posing as human rights activists to shout abuse of human rights.
Let me tell those who may not know this hard fact- A PREGNANT WOMAN IS SELDOM BURIED WITH THE UNBORN CHILD. To separate them as two human beings, the woman must be cut open. What is the spiritual implication? Families of those who murdered a pregnant woman will suffer untold calamities as ALL that represents blessings die before maturity. The truth of life is that you cannot sow tears in the earth and reap laughter. You reap what you sow but in a measure only divinity will determine. He is the Lord of harvests who gives in 30 fold, 60 fold or 100 fold. Harvest time, quality and quantity are His exclusive prerogative. Don't be deceived, as far as the earth remains, Seed Time and HARVEST shall not seize. Every man must reap what he sowed.
General Abacha said that if crime lasts more than 48 hours , Govt has interest in it. A certain candidate of a political party told his men TO FIGHT, DO ALL IT TAKES, SNATCH THE BALLOT BOX, RUN WITH IT. To snatch ballot boxes in the days of its use, you must be ready to kill, maim the security on ground and disperse the crowd to gain access to the ballot box. A man from far away has said their will be NO ELECTION in SOUTH EAST. The Igbo race has been marginalized for 50 years. Who will benefit if IGBO LAND does not participate in elections when an Igbo is the most likely candidate to win?
A political party was mocked as a structureless political party. Do you think that the other political parties are not afraid that a candidate of a structureless party win may trigger a band wagon effect for his party? Is it not possible that some of the thugs are known and fed fat to serve as unknown gun men to scuttle campaigns and elections to prevent a win? Is it not possible that some politicians facilitated the release of some armed robbers from awaiting trial to use them in violence?
A military general said the armed forces are under pressure to interfere with the 2023 election. The same military general did not say they are under pressure to eliminate BOKO HARAM and Fulani Bandits
The once peaceful south east has been destroyed by actions and inactions of the political class. The beautiful values, customs, and traditions have been adversely affected. Traditional weddings are now held in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt. Burials are now done with scanty attendance for fear of unknown gun men.
Ask yourself, why have the political leaders of the south east remained silent with the incessant threats, sit at homes and killings enforced from outside of Nigeria? Why have the political leaders refused to initiate international process to declare such person as a global terrorist and seek international help for his extradition?
Kaduna train hostage negotiator was arrested outside Nigeria as a hostage FACILITATOR. Some Boko Haram members have politically repented and joined the army so as to change their operations but their victims are wallowing in pain in IDP camps. Some Fulani bandits have become Fulani herdsmen attacking communities to forcefully take over lands since RUGA failed. A sitting governor in the north said that govt knows the hideouts of criminals. Pictures are available of govs posing for photo shoots with leaders of Fulani bandits. So who said the bandits are unknown ?
The Security intelligence community must set up under cover to entrap the politicians going to communities with recent history of violent conflicts and communal wars to recruit youths with arms. This way the business of insecurity will be destroyed
There must be sincere initiative to rehabilitate youths that were engaged in community wars and give them a FRESH HEAD START. This way you cut off the supply of frustrated youths into insecurity business.
2023 is a redefining year for NIGERIA. BUHARI HAS APPROVED NO SHISHI POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. Those who created insecurity and poverty with hope to use their excess loot to buy hungry Nigerians will either deposit their money in the bank for new currency exchange or throw it away. You can't withdraw huge cash. Do transfers. I am without doubt that after election, the ban on cash withdrawal may be partially lifted so that rural economies and operators of POS can survive.
Conscience is an open wound , only the truth can heal it. Only truth can save Nigeria
Nigeria is a blessed nation cursed by satanic politicians whose political expiry date is certain.
We will get it right politically in 2023. These wicked souls and godfathers of evil will JAPA or face criminal prosecution. When we get it right, our youths will no longer look towards magic and crime for money but to well paying jobs and entrepreneurial skills for money.
Nigeria will be great again. Take my word to the bank.
