Laughably, Vanguard Saturday June 29, 2024 carried a news captioned: "Billion dollar blood money: stakeholders unite to crush banditry in N/West."
A critic and realistic minded
fellow against the regular and frivolous security summits said as follows:
"Where is the truth
regarding going after those funding these bandits and criminals? Just the other
day, we witnessed the UAE authorizing Dubai to act against those funding
terrorism and banditry in Nigeria.
"How did that turn out?
Where is the truth about dismantling the ecosystem of these bandits and
criminals? Terrorists are not invincible; they have associates, friends, and
family".
Comment:
It does not pay to engage in
hypocrisy and insincerity cum deception regarding the stark reality of Federal
system of government in a heterogeneous society like Nigeria. The pervasive and
intractable insecurity throughout the country has pragmatic and strategic
solution which is to revert to the Regional (taking the Six Geopolitical Zones
as the new Federating Units in a Restructured Federation) or call it
"State Police".
Laughably, the "Fulani
Feudal Oligarchy and Northern Political Emirate Establishment" that claim
to be dictating how Nigeria should be governed hate with passion anything about
Restructuring the lopsided Federation because it would truncate their dream
Islamization agenda, point-blank! They, in their self-deception, instigate the
phony Security Summits for distraction away from the nationwide clarion calls
for the immediate Restructuring of the lopsided Federation with decentralized
security architecture as integral part.
Reading the so-called
"Summary of the discussions"
on the supposed Security Summit , one felt sorry for the Cabal in their
unrelenting gimmickry to resist the reinventing of true fiscal federalism to
enable Nigeria to reinvent itself and develop the vast natural and mineral
resources within each of the six geopolitical zones as the new Federating Units
if the lopsided Federation will be Restructured.
Instead of championing the immediate establishment of state police, they brazenly kept on diverting attention by paying university lecturers for useless Security Summits whereby the supposed recommendations gather dust in the shelf at the Aso Rock Villa. Who is fooling whom?
